    I’m from Europe and headlights suck here too! It’s spectrum of LEDs and tall cars and probably bad regulations too.

      What?

      Seems heavily country v dependent then.

      But there def is regulation (even candles at different distances) & technically a car isn’t road worthy if its blinding oncoming traffic.

      I haven’t seen it much enforced by the cops, just by the mandatory scheduled road-worthiness checkups.

      Also, how tf is automatic headlight leveling not standard equipment? It has been on the market for like 20 years now (& I think we need it bcs of people, not bcs that lil 1-5 scroll switch of the olden days wasn’t sufficient … do people not see their own lights shining in peoples faces?).

      However I do wish cops would regularly stop & fine people (foreigners :)) with misaligned headlights (the needed equipment is ez & smol, tho level ground is needed) … or those fuckers cruising with fog lights “bcs it looks sporty” or whatever.

      Yes, some specific cars and lights are surprisingly bad, but in general it’s not comparable to the US. Maybe also depends on the specific country, too, of course.

      Some cars now even have break lights that shine brighter than the light of a thousand suns. I don’t get it, there ought to be some regulation for this. This is Germany speaking.
