The remaining 4 are either truck drivers or have never driven past cars with ultra-bright LED lights.

Car manufacturers are deliberately putting dark spots at the points where regulators measure headlight brightness. This is basically dieselgate, but with headlights.
The other four are in charge of designing lights for cars unfortunately

I almost got into a fight a couple of months ago because the headlights on my wife’s car are too goddamn bright. The guy in front of us thought I was messing with him.

My retinas are fugged up. Mostly, I am super, super light-sensitive. And at the same time, my night vision isn’t hot.
I live in Upstate NY
life is misery for most of the year

3 of the 6 currently have problem headlights

I honestly can’t tell if People (or their cars if automatic) just leave their high beams on or not.

The government of Canada is surveying people for their thoughts on the bad headlight glare.
Yeah, the glare stinks!! It’s a road hazard!

Headlights? Shoooooot, we have imbecils driving around here with LED light bars on.

NGL it’s so bad I can’t tell who has high beams on or not.
Effs up sedan/halogen drivers so bad we almost need to turn our high beams on to see afterwards..

Also, love the automatic brights feature on newer cars where they don’t shut off until after they blind people. Until they improve this tech, please disable and operate them manually.

If my current career blows up, I’m becoming a police officer and will exclusively go around ticketing improper headlight alignment

The he other 4/10 drove big-ass, earth-raping trucks.

I report yt ads for super bright headlights as a dangerous act. I’m doing my part.
I hate all of the car companies for this situation. Fix it.

I remember, back when I learned to drive, that it was appropriate to turn off your high beams when there were oncoming drivers.
Now? Everything is high beams, it seems, and I have to turn on mine of my 2007 Corolla just so I can see anything after being blinded by everyone else’s lights.

If you drive a Jeep and you changed to LED headlights.. F*** you. That is all.

Problem is aftermarket headlights and mods people do to their car. But they don’t align the headlight. And then there is drivers, who lift their truck to compensate for their small 🍆 and blind everyone on the road to hide their small 🍆energy

Warm colored lights and a little less bright is what we need. Never going to convince everyone that we will all be safer that route though.

The blinding light effects are increased for people who have cataracts.

They don’t make vehicles without these headlights anymore. The government won’t regulate them. The world just sucks more with them.
It sucks even more walking at night. Vehicles are blindingly bright for pedestrian traffic, motorcycles, and bicycles. However, we are in the era of deregulation though so.
Idk what to do.

I notice most of the cars with automatic lights adapting poorly to oncoming traffic. Both using it myself and all I meet driving much and in the dark. Tesla with dirty lights are the worst tbh.

LED headlights should be outlawed.

Car manufactures literally cheat the road safety headlight test by making the test sensor zone dimmer than the surrounding area.

If you drive a sedan at night, you’re basically blinded by headlights every second.

I actually thought my vision was starting to go while driving at night so it’s nice to hear this is an actual thing.
The other 4 are in F-350s leaning back in the “Carolina Squat” and can’t see the road ahead of them anyway.
6 in 10 drivers ARE the headlight glare problem.
My astigmatism makes driving at night legit scary.
Who is this 40% who don’t say it’s a problem?
The other 4 are probably the muppets with the headlights that are blinding everyone else.

Even as a pedestrian it’s a huge problem.

If you’re Canadian, you have until April 20, 2026, to let the government know how you feel about headlight glare: [Transport Canada](https://tc.canada.ca/en/corporate-services/consultations/canadian-experience-vehicle-headlights-glare-night).
I keep saying it, the issue is color temp of modern lamps. Go back to the more yellow spectrum lights and we don’t have the same issue.
And you can see it on the road.
Just as a fact, it was the reason France was using yellow headlights back in the day. Study showed illumination was the same but with reduced glare.
Especially when those assholes get aftermarket headlights with the power of a thousand suns.
Another example of the selfish “fuck you got mine” culture in this country
If you’re in Canada there’s a survey open for just two more weeks where you can express your concerns:
