Defective headlamp(s)?

Hey everyone! Was driving home at night and I noticed the cut off line of the headlamps didn't seem right on the left edge. Looks almost like two fangs or something. You think I should seek a warranty claim?

Mine has the exact same thing (annoying) on the left edge. It might be there not to blind oncoming traffic, not sure.

Yep, mine too, it catches your eye with the low cut-off as the car pitches. We could mention it, but I'm guessing its a TADTS.
It seems the low beams are adjusted a little low also.
Do the automatic high beams work well?
Yeah, they are better than my 2022 Camrys auto high beams.
I only tried them briefly in a rural area, after a couple missed dims I turned them off. I need to test them more.

Probably won't end up using them, as I usually have drive lights switched on by my high beams and don't want to be obnoxious.
That dip is strategic. Notice how it dips directly in the next lane to your left? Picture yourself on a 2 lane road. That dip is to prevent blinding oncoming traffic.

Mount KC hilites to the roof with deck screws and turn them babies all on.

Nahh; KC's are too focused and you might miss them, you want a big long cheap LED light bar to spray glare indiscriminately all over the county.

Mine were very low, I adjusted mine. There is a yellow nylon adjuster on each headlight. Just use a Philips screwdriver (turn counter clockwise to go up)!

Just go by the pound or the wrecker, and jack a cop spotlight off a cruiser and mount that up. You can then roll down the driver’s window and point it at, and blind, anyone you like. While you’re at it, might as well mount a megaphone. Mount two of these on the roof:
Yup I've got the same fangs. Also thought the low beams were adjusted a tad low. Any little bump in the road and it feels like the headlights are pointing immediately at the ground and I can't see anything past 10 feet. I planned on adjusting them as soon as it gets back from ppf. Thanks for the tip ravenwrx
I have the same issue. I’m going to aim mine a bit higher.
Glad to hear everyone has the same issue and I'm not just crazy and seeing things (or not seeing them haha)
Again, It's not an issue. It is intentional. The dip makes a dark area to mitigate glare for oncoming traffic (on 2 lane roads)
I noticed this as well. It bothers my OCD. All my other cars have clean cutoff lines.
Same here. My wife even pointed out that it looks kind of like the Tesla "T". I hate Tesla and everything Elon, so this really annoys me.
