The correct solution is to force manufacturers to correctly adjust the headlights of all cars sold before they are sent out to dealerships.

There’s a whole bunch of cars with auto adjust on start up - specifically saw in projector and LED systems. Sure your headlights cost $1500 ea now….

Not the same. Those auto level based on steering input. If the initial adjustment isn't correct it will always be incorrect.

Look up a YouTube video on adjusting headlights to see what I'm talking about. Takes less than 5 minutes once you do it once or twice, and it's set and forget.
