Sensitivity to HID/LED headlights

[BjPenn2016FW]

Anybody else feel blinded at night when some of these super high def white headlights are coming at you.. I mean I'm only 26 but jeese... when did headlights become this frickin' intense? I don't remember them being like this when I first started driving 10 years ago... Is it just me?

You're going blind.

Is normal.

What @Loiosh said. Good luck being a bat.

Let this solid block of green soothe you.

Just let those bastards pass you, especially the lifted trucks with bright led yellow fog lights

its more the bright lights coming at me at night!

did you know that you can aim/adjust your headlights and there's proper ways/techniques of doing so?

Spoiler

99% of people don't know this either.

its other peoples headlights coming at me. Not mine. Would that do anything?

10 years ago there weren't many cars with LED headlights to begin with.

You know those LED Christmas lights? They're very annoying to look at, they have that almost imperceptible constant flickering.

Try the HD vision glasses. They do work.

It's not you. It's the lights. Just let them pass. And adjust your rear view mirror to the night setting and it will be less of an issue.

I don't find LED headlights too bad, but they're fairly new and there's not much of an aftermarket for them so people aren't installing them incorrectly (yet). The OEM stuff is fine. Same goes for OEM hid's. I don't have issues with them until people start installing them in cheap ebay projectors or halogen housings, or installing them on lifted trucks without adjusting them. Those people piss me off.

They arent that bad. The blue headlights blind me. Apparently those with specific eye colors it affects more.

I have some polarized yellow safety glasses that I wear for shooting and night driving. Not sure how much difference there is to the HD vision glasses.

Like someone already said, the OEM ones are generally fine. Is the shit cheap aftermarket ones people put on their civics are the ones that blind you.

It will if you adjust their headlights properly:

Hmmm. Im definitely going to have to try out those HD Night goggles. I think it may be the lights that seem more bluish also. I have to literally look down to the right and just look and make sure I am driving inside the lines. I drive very slow lol

Me too. The worst is those lifted trucks with 4 sets of lights. Who the fuck needs 8 individual lights to drive around the same crappy town they've live in their whole life?
