Reply to comment by Faerhun in High beaming by ResponsibleExcuse727

Not only do the bright white ones need to aimed down but they need to be in an LED specific housing that reflects the light beams in a different way. A lot of people throw LEDS into their halogen headlights and end up with lights that are both worse for them and oncoming drivers.

My 4 year old car auto dims highbeams as other cars approach. Not sure why this isn't a standard feature. It's incredibly convenient and it has never failed to dim a single time (I'm always worried that it will fail to dim....and the approaching car will be a cop).

I have older cars so upgrading headlights is limited. Instead, I threw a couple $20 off-road lights on the front to light highbeamers up as they approach.

Also note how many trucks have tinted front windows, which shouldn’t pass inspection unless you meet certain medical exemptions. I’ve concluded that the majority of truck drivers have strange eyesight issues, or that they all have handshake agreements with mechanics to pass their vehicles, regardless of after market modifications.

Yesterday I had someone behind me on 91 with their highbeams on and I had to slow down to 55 to force them to pass me, then when I flashed them they turned it off finally.

It is really uncomfortable. I had to pull over the other night because I was getting such a intense headache from the blinding lights, then darkness, then being blinded in close succession that I was sick to my stomach. It is definitely stressful.
