Talked with others several times about this & almost everybody agrees they are a real menace. What happens if these overly bright lights cause an accident? I have seen it come close to that more than once. Now these lights may be fine out in open country with no other traffic around. How about something that will EFFECTIVELY dim them on low beam in city traffic to where they are no brighter than normal old tech headlights? Yes, trucks with these are the worst offenders.

I believe some of the issue now is that many of the new autos have AUTOMATIC dimming headlights.
So, unlike US that remember the little button/switch on the left side of the floor(to the left of the CLUTCH pedal). There is no way to DIM some of these modern cars.

Here in NH the AIM of your headlights was part of the annual inspection. To make sure your lights were NOT pointed too high. However, as of 2026 you no longer are required to have an annual inspection of your automobile here in NH.

I have mixed feelings on that particular subject. I personally think they should have changed it to every two years.
