    OEM halogens, or aftermarket HID?

    If halogens, then it might be aimed too high.

    If HID, they might be aimed high, but also could be glare from the squirrel finder cutouts.

    There are adjusting screws behind each headlight assembly for adjusting the aim.
    You can use either a large Philips head screwdriver or an 8mm socket to turn the screw on each side.

    Find a flat level area with a flat wall and adjust the aim when parked 20 to 30 ft away from the wall.
