Some a-hole did this to me once and I just held my spot. Our mirrors smacked because we were so close. Mine folded in a little and right back out, and I could tell the other vehicle's mirror shattered. Not my problem, I kept on rolling.

I think some of it is people retrofitting LEDs into reflector housings. Not supposed to do it. Need a projector housing as they focus the LED beam properly.

I hope you adjusted the aim of your lights when you leveled.

Yes.

Absolutely. Thought I was just getting older but a lot of other people complain too. shite is way to bright when contrasted with dark environments.

Ah yes. I’m sure you think they’re aligned perfectly and it’s everyone else - not you - that’s the problem.
Neither my headlights nor other people’s problems are problems for me.

Well that's just not true at all. They are much better for visibility. The lights are much better on my new truck than they were on my last one. My mom went from non LED to LED in her new vehicle and seriously thought the road going into my brothers neighborhood installed new streetlights but it was just her headlights were that much better
Same. I put LEDs in my old SUV that my oldest is driving now. One burned out and as I was buying two to replace them, bought LEDs from Amazon. I replaced the burned out light and turned the lights on, and the difference was amazing.

Don’t get me wrong, cold white LEDs and misaligned headlights are a problem. But a ton of folks actually just have their brights on.
I'm not sure about this.
In the past two nights I've flashed people who I was positive had their brights on. I mean these lights were out of control. I thought, "there's no way those are not brights". So I flashed and they turned their actual brights on.
The thing is, their actual brights were barely brighter than their regular headlights. Had it not been for seeing the activation of the brights, I wouldn't have known a difference.

Nailed it.
Typically, a pickup truck driver that buys $39 LED bulbs so his 3rd gen old truck will look "new".

My 2024 GMC Sierra is stock everything and I get flashed brights constantly even though i have the auto bright feature off and the fog lights off.
There isn't much more that I can do other than turn my headlights completely off and use a flashlight for navigation.

I wouldn’t wish something horrible to happen to you, but I would probably laugh if it did.

Yes. WTF is up with all these super bright lights?

Most trucks and cars are on absurdly high tires now a days. Ride height is out of control.

The sole purpose of a leveling kit is to place your headlights in the eyes of oncoming drivers.
100% didn't readjust your headlights after the fact, queer

Leveling kit was on it when purchased. I only changed headlights from halogen to bright white LED. Helps me see soys like you puffing your passion fruit vape and texting.

I try to limit my driving at night.. I have big time trouble seeing at night... And the cop lights are perfectly lined up with your eyes just enough to blind you..
