In the last few years, car headlights seem to be much worse with glare. I don’t know if people no longer turn down their high beams, or if it’s raised trucks or aftermarket bulbs, or just shitty car design but it’s getting much tougher to see at night. And my teens complain more, so it’s not just me getting old
I’m looking for a way to improve my nighttime safety without adding to the problem.
Does anyone have experience with aftermarket LED bulbs for fog lights? Are they enough brighter to help see the road in the glare of oncoming high beams, while being enough lower to not just blind other drivers?
My state has an annual inspection where checking headlight aim is one of the safety checks. If cars have misaligned headlights, the owner is a persistent cunt
It’s not actually a misalignment. It’s an intentional feature to get better visibility further down the road but not in a situation that calls for high beams.
You’re telling me that aiming the headlights above the states safety limits is a feature? Making things slightly better for yourself at the expense of everyone else is a good thing?
What? No, that’s not what I’m saying at all!
I know it’s the bad place, but this below is what I’m talking about:

Huh, I’ve never seen this, or maybe never noticed it in any car I’ve used. Is this a truck thing? Cool feature but seems like it’d be abused more often than used
Well, there’s one in my VW Polo, so not just a truck thing
