Bright head lights

I know this has been talked about, but some government official definitely are closet readers of this site. Those lights should absolutely be illegal. How is it that dark tint or even pot is illegal, but these lights that absolutely blind you are not? I know this has been talked about on here… My retina’s feel like Putin went second sun nuclear explosion whenever they see those bright lights.


Also, teach your family to not ride someones arse with the brights on. Shouldn’t be someone’s fault if they cause an accident because your bright lights blinded them.

Virgina makes Squat trucks illegal



Seems to be old news out of Virginia but they need to make all those shite squat trucks illegal across the country. Besides looking ghey they also beam you in the eyes with bright light

I’m old enough to remember when it was rare to see someone riding along with their bright lights on. Now it’s like 20-30% of vehicles on the road. And you can flash your brights at them and they just keep trucking along. It’s almost like they accidentally turned them on at some point and are too stupid to know how to switch back to low beams.

Squatted trucks and those idiotic hick trucks with the tires bowed out from the fender wells should be banned.

re: Bright head lights

Yeah. It sucks. If they're coming toward me I'll flash my brights and get their next level up.

If they're behind me there's not much you can do other than flip a a finger, but I don't bother.

I wish I had an eclipsing sun bank of football field lights to turn on to give them a taste.

I get that a lot on the other side. Not only can a lot of people not dim their own lights, apparently they can’t tell when the vehicle they’re meeting doesn’t have their on.

My mirrors dim at night so thankfully I don’t have to worry about those behind me.

re: Bright head lights
The biggest issue is the color temperature of the lights. The higher color temp (bulbs are marketed as “cool”) are very harsh on the eyes, even at the same “brightness” as lower color temp (warmer). I think that the color temp, should be part of the regulation. Get rid of these harsh high color temp headlights.

re: Bright head lights
A huge problem is all of these rednecks throwing LEDs in their 99 Silverados in which the housings are not made for them. When you put LEDs or HIDs in normal housings, you get a lot of scatter and they throw light everywhere. I flash them, they flash me right back. Idiots.

re: Bright head lights
My vehicle’s lights are already super bright and people think I’m riding around with my brights on. I’ll get flashed by at least 40% of others at night and I don’t do anything since they’re already on low beams. If they flash twice I’ll turn my brights on and leave them on. That shite pisses me off.

To the gallows you should go… not for having bright lights, but for being an ass.

re: Bright head lights
Don’t mind the bright lights on a normal car. Figure most of the time it’s on accident. What gets me is the jacked up trucks where low beam is now high beam. I have no clue if they’re adjustable but when a lift is added the listers should get adjusted.

The worst are these f250 guys that buy a new f250 put a 3 inch lift with big tires, never tow anything but have a $400 adjustable hitch and then get out of the truck and they’re 5’6” and think they’re a bad a¥*.

Mine does too. I’ll turn off the auto when I’m on a road that has a lot of hills. Otherwise it looks like I’m flashing my lights with how it turns off and on.

Also, mine do a great job of detecting cars on the same road as me, but if someone is to the side, on an intersecting road, waiting on me to pass, they stay on bright. I have to manually dim them.

Same. Have a ‘21 Silverado with a small stock suspension lift that comes with the Z71. The Silverado stock lights are already bright as hell, and are eye level with cars. I just flash them back and keep moving.
I understand on two lane highways, but it is what it is. The people who pull over, get behind me and ride their brights on me is funny. I just keep looking forward and imagine them raging in their car. Weird thing to melt over, but people are miserable and love to complain.
