The brighter headlights have been touted to the marketplace as all about safety. This is true to a certain extent but the unforseen reality of brighter lighting is the majority of people drive to the limit of their lights at night. Having driven in rally events at night with multiple 100 watt lights I know this is true. When driving at speed and you switch the extra lights off and rely only on factory low beams the change in one's visual area is quite disconcerting and feels dangerous.

This well intended "SAFETY" feature has in fact lead to far more dangerous roads as folks are driving faster and the vehicles around them have their visibility inhibited.

Unfortunately until law enforcement returns to our highways this problem will not go away.

Quite frankly I firmly believe every Tesla needs to be recalled and have their headlights replaced. They are way too bright. It's part of their marketing and identity as the arrogant upscale luxury crowd.

This is one of those things that people complain about that has almost never bothered me. Every once in a while Ill get somebody's lights at an odd angle and notice it, but its a non-factor for me 99% of the time.

I dont wear glasses, so maybe it affects people with corrective lenses more.

Personally, I like the bright headlights. I would rather have my lights in front of me be nice and bright so I can see the stupid deer around here from a longer way off, but clearly not everyone agrees with that.

Luckily my Ram has the auto dim headlights that actually work pretty good, so mine just go bright when it doesnt detect any other cars in front of me. Most of the time I just dont think about it.

LED install update
Installed the LED 'SEALIGHT' branded bulbs for low beams on my 1997 BMW 328I went without a hitch took less than 5min. no cam bus adapter needed no errors on dash and all other lights work as normal.Really quality set all aluminum with a built in cooling fan.
Very bright and a focused beam so not annoying to oncoming traffic.
I'm going to order the high beams now.

Likely blasphemy but I have dapper LED's in my t/a but it is more life and death where I live...the deer capital of the world

Took me a lifetime to find this car and hitting a deert is my worst fear so I need to see and ol' halogens were terrible.

I see you point tho, I don't think people understand the concept of lo-beams for on-coming traffic at all these days - or they are just rude. There are so many rednecks if you flash them to turn off the hi's they flash you back with a fricken lite-bar - I need to move...

Aren't the European cars much brighter than the US cars, the standards? I thought their lights were brighter and the US is catching up. I have LEDs in my 21 Suburban and they are great. Everyone I know who owns a newer car all complain that their headlights are not bright enough. Around here, most people drive with their brights on because one of their low beams is out. I am sure the cheap LED manufacturers are not as precise about their light output and aiming as some higher priced lights. I had Diode Dynamics, St Louis Missouri area, lights in my 2018 Colorado and they were great, a definite improvement over Halogens. On their website they explain why their bulbs are designed to work in specific housings. They were a quality light and great customer support.
