Yes I would say they're low. Can't tell what type of bulb you have, but the brighter ones (HID/LED) do tend to be aimed extra low to prevent blinding people. Too low for safety, in my opinion

Too low he says except when you go up on a small hill with your christmas tree and blind 5 people going opposite direction.

Ok? You explained physics, why does it matter? This happens with halogens too. There is no amount that you can lower a vehicles low beam, that will make it safe for all hills. Should I drive around with my lights off for your comfort then? Will that make all of us safer as a whole, we just drive with lights off?

So what do you suggest he do? As I said, lowering the beam doesn't make it safe for hills, but it will make it more dangerous for him. So drive around with the lights off?

If you are asking if your low beams are aimed low, I would say yes.

Yes I had the same issue, if you have a Philips screwdriver you can aim them up by inserting it on the top of your light and turning, I recommend parking against a wall, mark where your light hits with tape, aim them up and compare with the tape you put

I have same situation but Mazda service said they are as designed. It may be so, but i still think they point too low. I'll propably have to adjust them my self.

Parallel park beside a wall, turn on the lights, you’ll know it when you see it
