It's not just the cheap replacements. I had a brand new 2018 Toyota Rav4 and when I first bought it, I would get "flashed" constantly by people thinking my brights were on. They weren't. In fact, I almost never had to use the brights. It had very bright white LED's and at that point those style of headlamps were new and not many vehicles had them.
Now that GM, Ford, and a few others use similar bulbs, the "flashing" has mostly subsided. I think people have gotten used to them. I couldn't blame anyone for being frustrated. They were excessively bright. A lot of new headlights are and I think it's a problem. I'm happy about the better visibility but I don't want to blind the person coming at me in the other lane. That's not a good situation for either of us.
Might be worth getting the aim checked on the lights. They may have come poorly aimed out of the factory and are just pointed too high.
Then again half the problem is the big trucks and SUVs having their lights like 2-3 feet higher off the ground than a sedan does.
