    It isn't aim. It's the reflector design that scatters the beam and causes excess glare even when light output is reduced for DRLs. Toyota and Honda have the same issue in some models

    CX5 and CX30 LED headlights have really bad glare for oncoming drivers. Even the DRLs do it during the day. It's something about the reflector that makes the beam have a 'dazzle' effect
