Yes, (those are likely aimed incorrectly) but I hate the ones that hit you, and now they are street lights too. shite is too bright.

You have to adjust the lights down with even a leveling kit or it will blind everyone. 1-2” makes a big difference…….on the road of course.

No. I love it. Even more than obnoxious exhausts on cars I can outrun in my 20 year truck. Even more than guys “rolling smoke.”

So don’t stare at it.

Look at the lines on the road and it won’t blind you and you are still paying attention to the road

Misaimed headlights have been a thing since I've been driving.

LEDs blinding your arse at stadiums, in concerts, etc., is new. White should never be a color an LED that gets flashed at the audience. Alice in Chains nearly fricking blinded me last week.

It even sucks for tracking deer. I’m blinded just standing behind it, gazing into the brightness.

Clean your windshield frequently. Makes a huge difference with some of the glare. It'll never be avoidable. I drive a sedan and I absolutely hate that most truck lights blind me at night, especially the lifted ones. It is what it is unfortunately.

Fair, but the inside of the windshield needs to be cleaned more often than anyone typically does. It cuts down on vision problems, for sure.

There are so many discussions online about how to eliminate “sag” when these “leveled” trucks are used to tow or haul anything. Once they’ve raised the front end with no load, any weight on the back will make the rear sag so now they’ve got to install timbrens, airbags, etc. to compensate.

It's always the typical baws that do this. They should be shot.

Give them a taste of their own medicine and turn on your bright lights. They will retaliate, raising the angle of their lights higher, giving you some relief.

From a source:

High beams are more intensely bright and angled slightly higher than low beams so that they can light a greater distance.

Another problem is these rednecks putting led kits in their 99 Silverado where the housings are not made for them. They scatter light instead, blinding the shite out people.
