Until the idiots learn to adjust the angle of their lights to be legal, hit up the enthusiast flashlight community for some vigilant justice!
I understand your concern, BUT
My LEDs will automatically cut out the part of the high beam that your car is in, while still illuminating to your sides. You'll actually have better visibility to look out for animals coming from the side of the road. You're welcome!
Now those people who put LEDs in their halogen housings, or worse, lift a truck without re-aiming the headlights? Sometimes I think road rage is valid.
I had super brights on my last car. Many people giving me the flash at night. I spent 5 minutes to screw the angle adjuster down a couple inches. No more flash backs and I could see just fine.
This is one of the main problems with them. People install the new headlights themselves, or get it done at a cheap place where the mechanic doesn't care, and nobody actually adjusts the angle of the lights like they are supposed to do.
Almost all new headlights come with instructions on how to calibrate and align them by using a wall in front of your vehicle. These instructions aren't always easy to find if you aren't aware of them, to be fair.
True.
However, some lights will still be at the "appropriate" height for state car inspection stickers. (U.S. obviously, eg: MA).
I dropped mine about 3 inches below the inspection height. I still passed at least twice.
Protip: if you clean grime off the inside of your windshield, it will reduce the amount of light refraction coming into you and the result will you will see much more clearly.
So many people in my area have absurd headlight brightness, lots of trucks with extra lights on top too. It's ridiculous. Fuckers could blind the sun.
Also: trucks with the LEDs being higher than real cars, behind you.
I've driven sedans/compact cars my entire life. I'm seriously getting a suv or crossover just because of all the damn lifted LEDs blinding me.
I really wish there was regulations on the lumens output on these freaking newer headlights. Used to be halogens on luxury cars but not its literally every car has bright ass LEDs.
Another problem is the precision they can make them now. They used to have to make them lower since they can't be sure it's within spec.
I wish my windshield can turn into a oneway mirror. Let's see how YOU like it!
Just install lasers, you can blind them, with SCIENCE!
Just turn on your brights?
Then they'll flash theirs and completely blind you.
I want them to be blinded by their own fancy lights.
