This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.

    We for real need to start legislating and enforcing brightness laws. These headlights are out of control. This thing is an abomination.

    There is no rhyme or reason for anything beyond a reasonable street lamp and headlight. We kept asking could we, it’s time to ask should we? If nothing else I miss seeing stars at night

      The issue with a lot of LED lights isn’t brightness, its beam dip. The light should be angled downwards so it never shines into the oncoming traffic.

      Unfortunately, a lot of retrofitted brighter bulbs don’t play nicely with the beam dips. Car companies also err towards helping their diver, rather than the oncoming ones.

        The brightness is absolutely a problem, it doesn’t matter how well they are adjusted, when the car hits a bump or comes over a crest, it’s going to blind oncoming traffic

      In Mexico they have 10 x 30 meter (say, 30 by 100 foot) led billboards that you can literally see 10 kilometers away.

      Fuck. Everything. About. That.

      Those should just “accidentally” get painted
