A beam of light comes from the headlights and shoot upwards, like a spot light. This causes a visibility distraction to the driver, especially when driving in fog or under over head trees. Also, reduces the headlights illumination on the road.

There appear to be a distracting stray of light when I have my headlights on at night. It is even worse when you have the high beams on. Is there anyway Toyota dealership can take care of this problem?

problem #1

Headlights on the 2002 Corolla have been redesigned. They reflect a direct beam straight up. This is very distracting because the beams cross over the wind shield as they point up. This happens when the lights are on high beam. Have no idea how this appears to distant drivers. The engineers need to redo this design.
