Prius c 4-cyl

At night on dark streets with no other lighting, you cannot see to drive unless you use high beams. There is a line across the windshield; a horizon. You can see below that horizon (a thin area), but it's black above it, making it very hard to see. Visibility is only a few feet. I contacted Toyota and the sales and management team claim that they have never heard of such a thing. I contacted service and was told that this is normal. There is no fix. I am demanding that my headlights be aimed higher in hopes that I can see to drive. If this does not fix the problem, this car cannot be driving at night. It is not safe to drive with such low visibility. I was driving very slowly and still felt that I should have just stopped.
