Default low beam headlights

We live in an area where it is rolling countryside and a lot of hills. The projection of the headlights seem to cut off at a certain point and when you are going down the hill you can't see but just a short distance ahead. If a deer or other animal would pop out the headlight beam will not pick it up do to the way they project. Has anyone else noticed this on the 2007 Mazda 5? They wanted to raise the lights up but that would only irritate oncoming drivers. Mazda dealership seems to have no answers.

Hi,
I replaced the pitifully poor standard fit bulbs with Osram Silverstar bulbs, I replaced both dipped and mail beambulbs. The difference was incredible. You could see the difference in the daylight, and when night fell WOW. Cannot see why manufacturers don't splash out on the better quality lights.....
I would gladly forego a cup holder in exchange.....

That's a question for Mazda makers. I don't think your problem has a feasible solution right now.

Here is the solution:

TSX retrofit with 6000K HID bulbs and 35W ballast, which I've recently done for my 08 touring.
