I was noticing this last night while I was out driving around on some of the less tame twisties in my area. It seems that the beam of the headlight doesn't light up nearly as much as it should especially anything above the roofline. It seems like the lights are pointed downward towards the ground. It's not bad during normal driving with streetlights and all, but I don't wanna smear a deer. Normally the deer population is nuts this time of year, they move down out of the surronding areas for the winter to avoid the hunters. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm gonna take it in this afternoon or tomorrow to have it looked at.

If they are indeed low, alignment should be a quick fix shouldn't it?

Also glad to get feedback from others. With the wildlife population here, good headlights + beamlights are a must have.

Doesn't the owners manual have a procedure to test and re-align...
