    I don’t get it. Bright headlights bad? I have LED headlights and my car is fairly short, so I have a nice crisp beam of light that doesn’t get in people’s eyes. My current car has by far the best headlights I’ve ever had. I think BMW is/was using lasers for a while, I think? They didn’t seem that bright. I think there’s a pretty good amount of regulation that goes into headlights. Actual bad headlights are the ones on lifted trucks that engulf you in bright ass light through your mirrors.

      I think the main problem is a lot of LED and Laser headlights are used by optics not designed for them, and there aren’t enough regulations or enforcement for proper tuning for them, so they end up too high and too bright and too dangerous.
