Summary: The commenter, a private individual, opposes the use of bright LED headlights, arguing that they are dangerously bright and blind oncoming drivers. They request a reduction in headlight brightness to improve road safety and visibility of turn signals.
The new LED headlights are dangerously bright. They are safe only if the road if is flat or a bit concave. I'm blinded by oncoming headlights and usually have to drive as far as I can on the right side of the road and to avoid looking down the road. Also, the bright LED headlights overwhelm the oncoming car's turn signals. The turn signal is an essential communication and it shouldn't be erased by the headlights. The solution is dimmer headlights, not brighter turn signals. My own headlights are too bright and I feel I've sold a car that cannot be used at night because of my headlights are not part of the problem. I asked my car to replace my new car's light with dimmer lights. Answer: they don't have any. So, I asked them t align the lights better by pointing them downward. Answer: the lights are NOT ADJUSTIBLE! I may have to jack up the rear tires of my Honda sedan just to reduce my impact on other drivers at night. This is unacceptable. Reduce the brightness!
