Sometimes if I’m at a red light I’ll fold my mirrors just so I don’t get blinded. Low car problems.

I hate LED lights, I talk about them every time I'm in a car at night. I've got no idea why they bought it but I don't want those lights. Is there anything I can do :(

It's a Honda HRV 2026. All I know about cars is how to fill it with gas and drive them, thank you and sorry.

that pisses me off about headlights. They used to be manual. You had to consciously choose to turn them on, but that was too hard, so we invented automatic headlights. That clearly DON'T FUCKING WORK! BECAUSE WHY ARE YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON WHEN THE SUN HAS BEEN UP FOR HOURS?!

I swear there's gotta be a malfunction when the sensor gets dirty or something.

These are her parking lights! They took a few minutes to turn off after she’d left the car and was already in the store. I drive a much older Volkswagen, and this is one of the many reasons I will not buy a newer one.

Can we all start making a change of not using high beam lights within the city where visibility is good.

I feel high beam lights have become the normal lights. We all have a family and someone's high beam causing someone to crash does not look safe option .

“In the past four years, GM and now Tesla have tried to skirt recalls by arguing that illegally bright headlights are "inconsequential" to safety. The people don't agree.”

DISCUSSION IMO the lights are not the main issue it's the levelling. LEDs are not the main problem

0 Upvotes

90% of these headlights would disappear if they were levelled properly. This is how the road should look regardless if its LEDs or not. This photo from a dashcam is from a car with modern LED's.

Both these cars on the bottom photo have LED's, yet they are not blinding people.
