Default Blinding other drivers ( new thought}

I know this topic has been discussed a ton of times. I'm thinking my stock rear springs are sagging causing the lights to point too high.
Could this be the situation with the xB? Sorry if its been discussed, had no luck on search stock springs.
My Bride"s RS doesn't get flashed as much, but when you step on the gas the light's go up alot.
I'm ____ing off alot of other drivers and need to do something soon.

Dealer Or adjustable springs

try better shocks...ive never really had this problem even though I know my lights go up and down all the time. But really its the height of our headlights,spring rates, and also the shocks. If you lower it and dont change the shocks more then likely your headlights flash a lot more then others...

There is only one road that I travel that I get flashed on and I think the main reason is that it has no street lights and when I drive it,It is early morning.
Never been flashed on a lit street but that is just me.

something I think must be going on. I've had my Xb since July and only in the last 2 weeks have I ever been flashed and now it has happend at least 7 or 8 times. I've made no changes to springs, shocks, lowering etc. Are the spring/shock setteling in and causing the lights to point higher? Just a though.
