Dear God, I hate this so much. Please give me a way to make these motherfuckers feel just a percentage of the kniving pain they unknowingly stab me with... May they understand why they must change their ways.

The problem I've been running into is that a lot of new cars just have insanely dazzling LED low beams. Even in a medium height car with a sedan coming at me, it's awful.

I've seen a few cars where the low beams are warm white and the high beams go cool white, but that seems pretty rare, since car makers have been trying to associate "blue LED" with luxury.

The problem is that nobody, apparently not even manufacturers anymore know how to fucking aim headlights. Headlights literally have aimer knobs and you are supposed to aim them such that they cut off just before they would blind the majority of vehicles

I have projector LEDs and with a projector lens you can get an extremely practically knife sharp cut off and I have it literally just at the very bottom edge of most small sedan windshield lines. It's great my headlights are bright as fuck they go all the way from the left shoulder to the right shoulder even on four lane roads but they don't blind anybody and I've had friends help me test that by just kind of passing each other on the street and them saying it was fine and wasn't bad like other people's cars.

At some point people started associating the height of your light with the amount of safety, it's possible to get distance without adding height but everyone's forgotten how that works

If this was a real lemmy shitpost it would be blinding bright beans splattering all over the windshield.

Sometimes I feel like my hooptie's high beams are outshone by some modern cars' DRLs

Fuck auto high beams in Teslas the most. That shit doesn't work and always blinds my ass.

The eyes would be better shaded if the hands were in a ten and two position.
