Some of the big pickup trucks are the worst.
There is a guy that lives near me that has SIX headlights on the front. Plus two on the back at the top of the cab. Most likely for plowing.
I think it is an F250.

Even with low beams it is blinding.

Rearview mirror used to have a lever at the bottom to dim bright lights behind you. They have disappeared...............

Buy an old car with the separate round high and low beams.

Aircraft landing lights will fit the sockets.

Agree, I can tell when a big pickup is behind me or coming towards me with their search light like brightness. How many accidents have happened due to blindness from those lights?

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.
