- alar44 4y agoI think the bulk of this problem is just people not aiming their lights correctly.
- cassianoleal 4y agoDrivers shouldn't have to and generally cannot aim their headlights. Cars come like that from the manufacturer and/or garage after maintenance.
- sliken 4y agoSure, but after market kits for LED lights are pretty common and often are installed by the end user.
- cassianoleal 4y agoHuh, I wasn't aware of that. Shouldn't this be more tightly regulated, given that headlights are security features?
- antisthenes 4y agoThe bulk of the problem is that it's not even being recognized as a problem by municipalities, traffic safety administrations and police departments. I shouldn't have to avoid driving after sunset because 80% of the general population are idiots who put LEDs in housings where LEDs shouldn't be used.
- LanceH 4y agoEmergency vehicles around here seem to be in some arms race to put more and more lights on them in every direction. So late at night as you head down the highway, you can suddenly see nothing except emergency vehicles, at the expense of seeing the road, debris, and unlit vehicles.
