Self adjusting headlights can be adjusted. They know when they are level. They don't know where they are pointing. I had self Djusting HIDs in my Audi, and the height could be adjusted with a screwdriver.

 

Did you get them adjusted? That picture looks terrible, no wonder you are complaining. Something is wrong.

 

Nope I did not. The dealers won't adjust them. They claim the lights are OK. I'm disgusted with Mazda

 

Adjust them up yourself or go to an independent shop who will help you out.

 

Here you go.

A couple of minutes and a trip to a back road and you should be all set.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try this myself and let you know the results. I cannot believe that my Mazda dealer is so clueless. That's what I get from living in a small town and have to drive 70 miles one way just for the dealer to tell me the lights are OK. Should have stuck with my Toyotas

 

[QUOTE=arkyank1;149272]Yes you are correct. Shadow is the wrong description. It's like a curtain across the windshield that narrows your field of view. I cannot believe this is standard for halogen or any other type of lights, How are you supposed to see when using low beams ,going around corners, or going down hill. The lights cannot project a beam far enough --totally useless. Never had this problem on my Toyota's. I may have to sell if the dealer cannot rectify the problem--because the car is useless at night. VERY disappointed in

 

There's gotta be something wrong there. I had my first after dark drive in my new 2021 and the headlights were great, both in low beam and high beam. Lots of road coverage. With the auto-dimming feature the high beams dimmed when a car approached and as soon as it passed the high beams came back on. The adaptive turning was pretty cool, a peek around the corner.

Find another shop. Or maybe find a way the dealer can drive it after dark and see whats happening.

 

It's too bad the OP never posted the resolution.

 

That is not an infrequent occurrence, unfortunately.
