I think one thing that makes it worse/ more noticeable here is the topography of the roads. When you’re encountering an oncoming car that goes into a dip and then crests on the peak of the hill you’re on, it’s a real shock to the system with these new bright-ass LEDs. Same with sharp turns! Might also make people less likely to actually turn off their high beams because they aren’t being cognizant of when they’ll actually be in close proximity to another car (renders the auto feature practically useless).

I’m a chronic migraineur and avoid driving at night because they trigger attacks and also just totally fuck with my neurological system. It’s hard to explain what it’s like unless you live it. I rue the day that LED became standard- in my opinion they also aren’t much of an improvement when driving because the harsh line of delineation of the area that light covers makes it really hard for me to make things out compared to the more soft focus of halogen lights.
