I’m not sure if headlights really are brighter, or there are just a lot more morons on the road who can’t be troubled to dim their high beam headlights when another vehicle approaches. It’s rude at best, dangerous at worst.
30 years ago headlights / brights were 1,000 / 1,500 lumens.
20 or so years ago 4,000 / 4,500 lumens.
Currently 6,000 / 6,500 lumens.
Imo need to keep the low beams low, all the way back to 1k.
Also need technology that aids the driver by automatically
going to low beams.
It’s the LEDs. They put out a brighter, whiter (actually bluer) light than the old incandescent bulbs...........
