You can do that yourself, those insanely bright headlights are just LED lights. The old halogen bulbs have a warmer light and are less blinding. I agree that LED bulbs should be illegal because they're dangerous, but it has nothing to do with cars being newer or older, its the bulbs themselves.
The people that are smart enough to adjust their headlights aren't the problem. The majority of people aren't and they drive with those stadium lights everywhere.
Which is why I said they should be illegal. No idea why I'm being downvoted for telling the truth but whatever...
Those fuckers of all types are mounted 4 plus feet off the damn ground, there is zero adjustment you or anyone can make to stop them blinding me because THEY ARE ABOVE MY WHOLE ASS CAR!
Are you saying I can break every single vehicle's headlights as they pass by and blind me? Because that doesn't sound like a feasible solution to the problem as it stands
Of course it is just the headlights but they've become more commonplace. I don't remember them being as ubiquitous as they are now. The newer LED ones are the worst because they aren't dispersed and are like pinpoint sources.
