    I think there’s something wrong with lights being sold for cars that are so bright the strategy is “look as far away from the car driving at you as possible”.

    Like I have them on my car. I get flashed for having my brights on constantly, then I hit them with the literal light of the sun and I think “wow this power is ridiculous”.

      Mine has “auto brights” that I swear were designed by an evil bastard. They flashed people often enough that I’ve taken to turning them off and just go with my normie lights unless it’s country driving now.

        I got matrix LEDs. They just dip other cars in a hole of black and keep everything else lit. Never going back to anything else.

          I would like those but I also live somewhere where Ford fusions have light bars so I try not to care too much anymore.

      They make 4500k led headlights now, saw them a while back bought a set, totally great to get the life and clarity of leds while my conscience rests easy.

        They could’ve always done that, only reason we got the whites was so that everyone would know you have a recent car.
