Blinding headlights are growing problem on US roads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0nBlZwUT3s



"If you ever drive at night, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed an increasing problem with blinding headlights. In some cases, people are simply driving around with their high beams on, but that doesn’t fully explain the problem. Anyone who’s flashed their lights at an oncoming driver to let them know their high beams are on, only to get hit with their actual high beams can tell you that. One thing is for sure, though — it’s not a good thing." https://jalopnik.com/you-re-not-imagining-it-blinding-headlights-are-a-real-1850112863

normal light bulbs anymore


Completely banned now as of this year due to Potatus Proclamation. I bought some of the last incandescences for fun but have them stashed away for special occasions. From Lowes though.

Just because the person inside such a vehicle needs to see the road brighter


Thing is, they insist on seeing a giant puddle of white light on the road in front of the car instead of insisting on seeing objects on the road and around it. It's pretty comical actually: an average person is usually unnerved with old-style halogen headlights and feel much better after so-called fog lights are switched along with them, because they light up that scary void right in front of the bumper which is there when old style halogen headlights are set up properly. =))

I have couple of cars with oft-maligned H4 headlights and this is what happens when somebody accustomed to these newfangled LED lights gets to drive them: "OMG, the light is so horrible, I can't see anything. -- Switch on the fogs. -- Yay, so much better! -- But these are foglights, they don't light up anything you need to see at normal driving speeds. -- I don't care, it's just BETTER".
