Took possession of new car 3/31/2001. Drove it that night and succeeding nights on the two lane road around the area where I live. I encountered numerous incidents where the oncoming auto would flash their bright lights at me, but my lights were already in the dim mode. I came to find out that there is no way to adjust the headlight beam lower. I contacted Mazda USA three times with no response to the problem. I took the cat to the dealer where I told them that there is nothing they can do. The light beam is set at the factory. On a subsequent trip to carlsbad, nm we decided to take a count of the number of oncoming cars passing us, and the number of times they flashed their bright at us (our lights were on dim). We met a total of 1,232 vehicle. Of those, 471 flashed their high beams at us; that's 38&. I keep being told by the dealer that my lights are supposed to be bright. I agree, but the should not blind the driver in the oncoming vehicle. I have to apply tape over the driver side headlight to "fix" the problem and now I get zero bright beam flashes from oncoming cars. Other auto manufacturers offer the same type of lighting for their produce, but they also install a dial that is used to adjust the light beams up and down. This car does not have such a device. Affixing an ugly piece of tape to my cat is not what I expected when I paid $ 34,000 for this automobile , and I cannot get anyone who is willing to help me find a reasonable solution to the problem and honor the 3-year warranty for this vehicle. The situation can be very dangerous, and it tends toward inviting a head-on-collision; a horrible tragedy that is just waiting to happen. It is either tape, or I am limited to no driving this car at night, both are which not acceptable. All they have to do is ask themselves, "would I want to be driving this car at night like it is? updated 07/28/bf.
