After dark headlight beam

[Golfnut941]

New Genesis GV80. Regular headlight beam "throws" a dark circle beam out at the 10 o'clock area. Circle area appears to be about 2 ft in diameter. Dealer checked light beams and said this is normal....can't be as it's irritating and distorts the upper left view of the headlight beam.
Any similar occasions or suggested fixes?

It IS normal, at least for modern LEDsl. It shades oncoming drivers from your beam.

The lack of light output is only going to get worse, now that the US has approved adaptive headlights. They sound good, but in an effort to not blind oncoming drivers, they reduce the light on the road when there is oncoming traffic so you will get less light on the road in front of you. My problem with this is that most people around here drive big pickup trucks and most of them have installed mega bright headlights and bulbs in them, which are blinding me as they approach. In order to be able to see the road surface at all, I need MORE light on the road, not less light.
