Are car lights too bright?

It annoys me every day when I am driving in the dark, that so many cars have far too bright lights. They almost blind me. What about you?

Coming around a blind corner on a dim night, it's like Close Encounters of The Third Kind.
Where do they get these bulbs and light panels??

@SethGreene531 yeah, I can't help but grumbling and cursing in my car about those idiots.

@SethGreene531 A guy was driving on a warm dark summer night and was blinded by the lights of an oncoming car and as the car passed a woman yelled out "PIG". "Ya you too lady #%*#@* 🖕! As he turned to focus on the road ahead he slammed into a pig 🐖 crossing the road.

@Tamara68 Same.
It's a complete whiteout, destroying any night vision long enough to be a hazard.
Imagine the highbeams?!!

I find it interesting that you can be ticketed in some jurisdictions for not dimming highbeams; but these bulbs are permitted standard issue on new vehicles now. 🤷🏻‍♂️
