Default Problem with headlights?

Have a v6 premium....anyone notice how the headlights only seem to illuminate like maybe 15 ft in front of the car. It's really hard to see at night when you can't use your high beams? Anyone else notice this or are mine screwy? Thanks for the input fellas.

no comments on this? no one has this problem or no one noticed it? I'm just wondering if I should get it looked at. If it seems common, then obviously they are supposed to be like that.

maybe your headlights are aiming to low to the ground..pull in front of a garage door and check and adjust them if needed

thanks, the manual said to take them to a dealer to adjust, you think it's easy to do yourself? i guess i wouldn't have to pay for it if they are low because it's brand new.

I don't have the problem. My headlights work fine.

I'm not having any problems, but I am thinking of ordering these Xenon headlights. They are those blue looking bright white lights.

I havent had any trouble, in fact, I thought just the opposite when I first used them, I felt like a UFO illuminating half the neighborhood. Maybe your's need to be adjusted.
