This is a good solution…

Tesla matrix headlights, introduced on newer Model 3/Y/S/X vehicles, use individually controlled LED pixels to create adaptive, high-beam patterns that prevent blinding other drivers by creating dark "cutout" spots.

Least they both have theirs on. I see more and more people driving with no lights.

Maybe acknowledge it’s an issue and STFU. It’s a fact. While I like that I can see better at night WHEN I don’t have oncoming traffic it makes it worse when I do.

I seem to notice pretty stock Chevy's with blinding white lights.

Lifting doesn't help for sure.


I have been a lifetime GM guy, but you are right….when I am blinded by an oncoming auto, 90% of the time, it is a newer model GM truck.

I say squatted where others would say leveled. Same difference to me.

Yep. I love seeing people who “level” a truck make fun of squatted trucks.

Squatted is worse, sure. But you are both paying money to make modifications for aesthetic purposes only. It’s all pathetic behavior.

My concern is the horrendous cost if something burns out. My F-150? Headlights are $15 for a two-pack and I've replaced one set in 25 years. My Toyota? Integrated LED's and it's $600 for each side.

I'd love to have a bank of stadium lights mounted on my roof to send a message to these assholes.

Night driving is vastly different now than it used to be. Every other vehicle has some variation of headlight type and intensity at night. Ridiculous.

Just saw a YT video earlier today about this very thing. I think I remember them saying that the last time any regulation was done on vehicle headlights was like 2002. But since then, with LED technology it's been basically a free frawl as to who can blind the oncoming drivers. . The reg standards haven't been update in decades . Up in NWA, you have a lot of deer, so naturally you want to see well at night, but not steady driving down the road with the countryside lit up like Vegas at the expense of everybody else. On a side note, I miss the the floor button on the left side of the floor like the older cars had. I still drive my '06 Tundra, but the brights are on the column, and they aren't automatic like new vehicles today. So I'm constantly switching them on or off as I roll down the highway.

And the older I get, the harder those damned LED’s are on me at night.

The absolute worst are the assholes who have one regular bulb out but are too stupid and/or lazy to fix it so they drive with brights on instead. Wish they would go in a ditch.

I personally like the clunkers riding around with the Walmart light bar(s), especially during daylight hours.

Speaks volumes about the driver

And there’s plenty of off-road bulbs for sale at any chain auto store that clearly say not for road use. I didn’t know we had that many off-road vehicles. You can guess the rest.
