On a cloudy night and relatively dark road with rain on one’s windshield - ALL one can see are the blinding LED lights coming at you.

It removes from one’s sight the ability to see other shades of grey or color, the ability to notice shadow or movement from other directions, and any other lights or markings near the road one can use for reference

These LED headlights are a menace.

Have found on roads and weather such as this, especially on country roads or freeways that curve a bit, that it helps to flip (old) vehicle lights up and down, so that oncoming can be reminded to lower hi beams if they are using them.

Trying to do it coming around a corner or not in their direct line of sight will generally keep oncoming traffic from taking it personally, while reminding those who are traveling with hi-beams to lower them.

Found this helps. YMMV.
