How does everyone feel about led headlights in cars, do they blind you from oncoming vehicles should they be changed back to halogen

Some vehicles headlights are so intense they affect the vision of drivers in on coming vehicles, and constitute a road hazard. There is no question that they should have a greater degree of dipping, the driver may see the road better, but if a driver coming the other way is dazzled there is a negative safety factor.

LED headlights are like the espresso shots of car lighting—bright, efficient, and a little intense! ☕🚗 They offer better visibility, last longer than halogens, and use less energy, making them a win for safety and the environment. While some drivers feel momentarily dazzled by poorly aimed LEDs, the issue often lies in improper installation rather than the technology itself. Instead of rolling back to dimmer halogens, a better solution is ensuring proper alignment and adaptive lighting features that adjust brightness. After all, seeing the road clearly is a bright idea! 😎

My car (ASX) can only have 60/80 headlights. I'd love to have 60/100, but they are not made (or allowed) in this.

The LEDs are a bit overbright though.

I travel from Tathra (NSW far south coast) to Melbourne regularly and often find oncoming cars headlights can be “blinding” even in daylight hours, to the point that I wonder if they are on high beam. On the other hand though I can see the benefit of stronger headlights for night driving so not sure of the solution, perhaps they should be dipped to a lower sight line.
