    New kid on the block here. I just bought my runner, and have a weird shadow when my low beams are on. It's like a shadow, similar to when you see an animal just before it runs out on front of you. (Hopefully that makes since) plan on taking it to dealer, but my dealer is 2 hours away. Anybody else have this issue? When I turn on highbeams it goes away.

    I thought I had read about some people noticing a shadow in the newer LED headlights. There may be other threads discussing it.

    There is a thread about this. It's some kind of a shutter to help reduce blinding oncoming traffic I believe. It's normal

    Thanks! Should have looked first. Not a fan of that. Thought my glasses were really dirty at first.
