Car headlight are too fucking bright nowadays
People driving around like they're trying to spot kangaroos in the suburbs
Especially when they're in one of those God-ugly American Pickup Trucks with headlights that are right at eye level for anyone in a normal car. Even being followed by a forty year old Mack semi isn't nearly as bad, because they've at least got sealed beam headlights.
"... one of those God-ugly American Pickup Trucks ..."
Why'd you say American Pickup Trucks twice?
I kid, but really those things are hideous. The front end looks like a Baleen whale feeding.
Even the auto dimming ones are too much
Depending where you are, the bright bulbs help spot deer. Though if you are in the suburbs that might not be really much of a problem
Agreed. I can't tell when people are driving with their high beams on anymore.
My pet peeve is not just the brightness, but the blueness. These things are fucking blue raspberry slurpee blue. Paired with a very reddish orange turn signal they come up behind me and indicate and I think I'm getting pulled over for a sec.
On a similar note I’ve thought I was being followed by police with the bright spotlight thing they sometimes have on their cars several times just due to the crazy headlights.
This is why I always have the high beans on when driving my 90's car. I've got to fit in with the cool kids (oh and be able to see the road despite the blinding lights coming at me.)
Not sure if you are joking or not. But at times that's actually what I think about and sometimes even do. If there is a car with too bright lights coming down the road I'll turn on the high beams because it reduces my ability to see the road otherwise.
Thank you! I'm not the only one!
Electrical tape can be used to black them out.
lmao
Might be some solace in the near future. Pixel Light is becoming a thing, where the car will selectively black out part of the headlight beam for oncoming traffic.
Seriously, I swear I get temporarily blinded at night sometimes.
They installed LEDs in the road lights near me and they had a faulty film cover that turned purple 😆 now they whole highway is light up purple at night!
