How about can you turn your high beams off. I've never been blinded by high beams more than recently.

Deal!
But seriously, headlights are so bright these days that I’m blinded even if high beams aren’t on.

Headlights and brights these days are so bad that they will give you a nice tan.

Doesn't sound at all bad then!

Me too. Coworker said this morning that a lot of oncoming cars have been flashing him - thinking he has high beams on. He THEN says that he recently swapped out his 800w headlamps for 1800w.

And probably has never checked the aim…

You mean 80 watts for 180? No way their car battery can handle that load
plywooden t1_j3hoiku wrote
Yea, probably.

I have a new truck purchased from a dealer with no modifications and I get people occasionally flash me to turn my low beams on. The new headlights are just bright af people don't need to do anything.

You only need to aim headlights with the old style reflector headlights. Most cars nowadays have projector style headlights and don’t need to aim them.

It might not be high beams. Some of the new headlights are just plain obnoxious. I forgot what they are called.
Edit to add: Halogen Lights and Fog Lights

It's ridiculous, the other day I turned my high-beams on at an oncoming car who I thought had their high-beams on. The oncoming car turned their high-beams on and there was no difference.
If you need low-beams that bright to drive then you shouldn't be driving at night.
MontEcola t1_j37wdj2 wrote
Exactly. I got some nasty comments and a bunch of down-votes for saying that.

LED headlights blind me almost as much as high beams do. Humans get distracted by that degree of white light, it’s obnoxious and dangerous.
MontEcola t1_j37yggc wrote
Yes. Is it LED that is so bright? Or Halogen? I don't know. We can do better.
RelationshipBig2798 t1_j35rs63 wrote
No most of the time its high beams because I turn mine on and they turn theirs off.

Personal opinion: If you have LED headlights go fuck yourself.
maineac t1_j36oqdz wrote
So people should stop buying new vehicles? They seem to come standard now.
xela293 t1_j37cn56 wrote
Or you know, get them properly aligned and actually turn off your high beams when people are passing you, both things that most LED headlight users don't do.

I have LED headlights on both of the vehicles in our family. They were purchased this way. Soooo you can go fuck yourself how about that?
xela293 t1_j3a27sv wrote
Ok

Tell that to the car manufactures not the drivers dickhead. Most newer cars are LED standards. Have fun with your dim halogen headlights trying to see on the back roads.

I got a good laugh out of that one.

You’re weird dude

Just paraphrasing your comment.
Notmystationbro t1_j3hegl2 wrote
Well calling people dickheads who have LED headlights even though new cars have them as standard equipment I’m going to give you shit about your attitude.
xela293 t1_j3hj1sm wrote
Hey, you're the one who seemed to take it weirdly personally that I indirectly insulted your headlights of all things, and also tried to make fun of my headlights as if they don't work at night in some sort of weird flex about your LED headlights.
