      Also doesn’t help that the giant F150 headlights are at eye level for most cars. Driving at night, especially when raining or snowing is definitely a challenge with these blinding lights.

      If police barely enforce tint laws, or volume limit laws,I doubt they’d enforce headlight brightness laws, so could we maybe fix that first so this has any point at all

      I said,ooh, I’m blinded by the lights. No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch.

      The bulbs installed by the factories are now quite blinding it doesn’t even have to be aftermarket anymore.

      On one hand I hate meeting them head on while driving at night. On the other hand I really enjoy having them light my path so I’m torn.

      Having a law will at least have manufacturing companies (maybe) rethinking the extreme lights.
      But yeah, I wouldn’t think police will enforce it on the streets too often.
      Still, it’s worth having the law in place.

      It can be really bad on unlit highways at night. Caught on a medium traffic single lane highway a few months back. The headlights behind and in front of me were so bright that I couldn’t see more than a few feet in front of my car. Which means I have to slow down to avoid overdriving my visibility. Which means the F-150 behind me is now tailgating me.

      No word of a lie, I was worried until recently it was just me and meant I was developing a career ending eye disease. Glad it’s a solvable problem everyone has to deal with, means it will be changed even with kick back for corporations and the groups of right wingers that parrot their marching orders.

      People who rely on these bright headlights should have their drivers licenses revoked. Blinding everyone because you can’t drive, it hurts especially when you have migraines and see bright lights from a mile away Blinding you.

      „I want the brightest lights possible!……..*so the oncoming traffic is blind, putting both our lives at risk*“

      Cops and govt aren’t interested. 

      However we can act and i suggest we start now.

      We outnumber them by alot. We can send them a message.

      I propose the „triple flash“

      3 fast flashes of bright lights when being blinded.
      (When safe , like not on a black rural 2 lane road)

      In the city a flash of brights is safe. Or a LOT safer than having them on permanently.

      Send a message to those who need it. If they keep getting triple flashed over and over , and learn what it means,  maybe they will act.

      Triple Flash. Make it a thing.

      We have no other choice.

      No too bright some people knowingly out on the high beams and leave them on because they can see better..

    15. DrAdominO on

      Nearly got in an accident the other day because their lights were so bright that I couldn’t see their signal on…

      Half the problem is that people have no idea how to aim their headlights.

      Particularly lifted trucks, who don’t adjust them for the new height of the vehicle, and so they are at the same angle but now shining directly at your brain.

    17. Wasamio on

      Brightness is less the issue and more that headlights are not properly aimed from factory. Manufacturers have just been selling their vehicles with the low beams aimed to high beam height because customers want larger vehicles and to see everything to feel “safe”. The only way to correct this would be mandatory safeties of all vehicles every year like in Europe.

    18. mikeybagodonuts on

      Didn’t see a person waiting to cross the street cause the car on the opposite side of the intersection was blinding me. Good thing they went straight through and I was able to readjust my vision before turning left.

    19. civicsfactor on

      Doesn’t this seem like just the most layup of a consumer and public safety regulation to make?

    20. MrBenSampson on

      I used to think that headlights were getting too bright, and I wanted bright lights to be outlawed. Then my frustration got to a point where I spitefully bought the brightest LEDs that I could find. It was honestly life changing. Not only has my visibility at night dramatically improved, but I never feel eye strain from oncoming traffic anymore. I just had to make sure that they were properly adjusted, so that they’re not aimed at the eyes of other drivers.

      If you feel eye strain from oncoming cars, it’s because your eyes were adjusted to being in the dark. It’s not because the other driver’s lights are too bright. *Yours are too dim.* Upgrade your headlights, and stop driving in the dark.

      Everyone who downvotes this is driving blind, while somehow thinking that *I’m* the problem.

      I own a car that has pixelated headlights which selectively dim automatically so they do not shine in the eyes of oncoming vehicles. This technology exists, it is not expensive, and could be on many cars. As usual, we are prisoners of the auto industry we prop up with our tax dollars, and won’t get such things until we start getting cars from China, which, guess what, have these headlights as standard equipment.

      My vehicle has matrix lights but they aren’t enabled in North America. Which is stupid bc they would resolve these issues.

    24. Artifical-Life-0101 on

      slightly OT, but who in God’s creation invented the placement of rear stop and tail lights now well below the bumper line?

    25. Evil_Weevil_Knievel on

      The old sealed beam POS headlights are gone. Thank goodness!

      Much of the issues with headlights are caused by LED lamps in incandescent fixtures. The focal point is all wrong. So you get glare.

      That being said the headlights on my Chevy Bolt are HID and they have a clearly defined boarder. They do not dim at all. They mechanically move the beam up and down for high and low beam. Cresting a hill the oncoming traffic gets an eye full.

      But man. They are awesome lights to drive with. If someone took them away from new cars, I would put them back.

      „Just aim your eyesight at the fog line“ doesn’t necessarily seem to work with some of the lights out there. Lifted truck with cornea blasters? Gonna be a bad time either way.
