I relate so hard. Honestly LED's are nothing compared to the fucking laser headlights that now exist in Volvo models and others. Yes, you read that right, actual lasers.

I've been on the receiving end and actually had to pull over for a minute just to survive (ie not crash due to complete blindness from being flasbanged). Laser headlights should be illegal yesterday. The permanent damage from exposure again and again over time is going to cause long-term and slowly emerging vision problems theoughout the population. Seriously.

I feel like there is no such thing as low beams anymore. Low beams used to be less bright, now they're just as fucking bright and aimed SLIGHTLY down. God forbid the road isn't exactly flat or you have a slightly different height vehicle.

Its a lot of the lighting going up on buildings next to roadways that are starting to get under my skin. If you're going to use a 300000000000 lumen LED, can you at least not point it directly at an oncoming lane of traffic? Thanks.

I like LEDs. The only issue is building the optic so it doesn't glare in people's faces

I like flashlights and I own...probably almost 100 at this point

In Canada we have mandatory DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and often, cars use high beam with a low voltage or PWM. When people replace their standard bulbs with LED bulb, it means during the day you are flashed by high beam in your eyes, even in full summer at noon you can be completely blinded by cars coming towards you, it's fucking annoying!

!fuckyourheadlights@lemmy.world

Its not the headlights, it's fuckera messing with their car or bribing the inspector to not fail them on broken auto adjust systems, or (for a while) people putting shitty aliexpres lights in halogen projectors

Yeah when one of those fuckers is driving behind me, I'll just decelerate a mph every couple of seconds. Doesn't usually take more than about 5 until they get annoyed enough to actually pass.

HID headlights were just as bad, and those go back to the 90's.

Fucking god this is the truth.
