      It is a complicated issue, but I find newer cars generally have brighter or more piercing lights. Like, we got a new basic car, never asked for any special lights, but bam, they're way too bright, so I use them on the half-setting (unless on the highway/in rain/fog), which is just a tad dimmer than regular old lights used to be (but still brighter than some cars with old lights begging for replacement).

    LEDs are good, people who have their headlights aimed/installed improperly Are bad.

      Yea, LED bulbs themselves are not the issue

      Mostly I notice its people installing LED's in a car that was not designed for it

    It’s cause people jack their trucks up 3 feet and never readjust their headlights, because they’re assholes.

      i used to have dreams as a kid that railroad tracks ran down the center of every road and the woods were filled with crisscrossing tracks and anyone could drive a train around and pick people and cargo up and I WANT THIS.

    Idc about headlights, but I like the idea of Christ returning to earth and, in an unexpected twist, vaporizing Christians in a supernatural reign of terror

    Most people, it seems, install these themselves and are not aware that there are easily accessible screws that aim the lights up and down.

    But yeah, it sucks getting the brunt of them.

    They are SO much better and safer for you and other people if you get them and install them properly.

    edit: I just noticed most responses are already pretty much what I said. So, I'm a fuck face. And I did a bad. And should start doing more goods.

    I'm sorry.
