Have seen the new headlights u can put in trucks and cars, great the person with the light can see great, but what about everyone else. The slightly fogged up glass on my truck with the drizzle rain all but made it impossible to drive. Course, my cousin who rides to work with me, could read the morning paper as lite up as my car was on the inside. Slowed way down and the truck passed me up. Serious there needs to be a law. Anyone else have this problem? Or just jack my truck up and light em up, nice.
Just another douche with HID bulbs in halogen housings

There is a law. They just don’t care

Why are those white headlights so bright? They have to be because one is always burned out. Duh huh huh huh.
Although I guess the LED bulbs won't burn out like those silverstar lights constantly do.

I’m not seeing very many people buy the HIDs anymore, everybody wants LEDs now. My problem is, even the cars that come from the factory with projector LED headlights still hurt my eyes. They have a fluttering type beam as they approach, almost like a darned laser.

Aftermarket LED lights aren’t great at all. The bulbs don’t line up correctly in the reflector because LEDs aren’t a true 360* bulb.

I don’t get it. My Optimas halogen headlights were awful. I bought a cheap 3M headlight refinishing kit for $15 and polished them up. Literally look brand new. I think it took me 10 minutes and that included removing and remounting. Headlights are plenty bright. We don’t have many street lights and I leave really early and I see great.
My wife’s suv has factory HIDs and those are really nice. Bright but they don’t blind people as the lights are aimed properly and have the typical sharp cutoff

Most guys who have trucks and lift them don’t think to reaim the headlights.

The F-150 has had LED lights in the higher trim levels for years now. Same with Chevy Silverado 1500. Now they're also available on the newly resigned Ram 1500.

I absolutely hate the new HID/whatever super-bright/white headlights. They are blinding to oncoming drivers. Great advance.

So what do you do when your car has the too bright headlights? It's not our fault that the car companies are installing those bright LED's now.

Don't turn on high beams in people's eyes. And yes, people do.
