I thoroughly enjoy being blinded almost the entire way home from work. Every new car seems to come with lights that harness the power of the sun. Hiw did we get to this point?
How about tall SUVs and lifted trucks with aftermarket lights... lovely. Reminds me of George Carlin. I've got a copy of Ivanhoe with me!!I hate them!!! They absolutely ruin the night vision of your eyes and the reaction time to adjust to see thing on the edge of the roads.
The Family Truckster had that system.There are 4 low beam lamps and 4 high beam lamps. I can't recall ever seeing that arrangement on a vehicle.
This is the bigger issue than most bright, properly aimed OEM systems. The latter can certainly blast oncoming traffic occasionally if the vehicle is pitched upward, but poorly executed retrofits are the debbil.How about tall SUVs and lifted trucks with aftermarket lights... lovely.

Reflectors are basically trash. Why we haven't gone completely to projectors, I'll never understand. I mean, I get why, cost, but we're literally talking tens of dollars on a $20k+ vehicle. Instead of giving me supercruise at $4,000, give me projectors, even just halogens, for $40.Poorly designed and aimed. I feel that most American trucks and cars have either weak headlights or poorly aimed headlights. In fact, maybe it's confirmation bias, but I don't think US cars have good headlights at all. I rarely have any issues with European or Japanese headlight and to this day, I haven't found any manufacture (that I've driven) with headlights better than BMW.
