Consumer Reports Headlights rating 2/5 for 2016+ CX-9

Replaced my stock Xenon Osram Nightbreakers with Nightbreaker Lasers...results are more than satisfying!
The 2nd gen though got LEDs which makes aftermarket replacements impossible.

you probably know this but the previous generation cx-9 headlights can be moved down for instances where you are towing.

at least my '11 with the HID lights have this option. maybe yours got moved down at some point?

My '13 CX9 is horrid... low beam visible cutoff line is only about 30 or 35 feet out front. Don't know if it's misadjusted or if that's a factory setting. Both sides have been replaced because of deer hits so I'm assuming the repair facility set them to specs. Looking for way to adjust them up maybe. Hi beams seem to be just fine. I live "way" out in the country and prefer a better sight line.
