    We need regulations. It is dangerous to operate a vehicle if oncoming traffic makes it that difficult to see anything in your own lane.

      The problem isn’t LEDs though. The technology isn’t what’s making it bright.

      The regulation needs to be specific about what they want the end result to be, not about the specific technology used.

      Like: there should be a mode of operation where oncoming traffic at x distance, seated at y height, on level roads should not experience more than z brightness.

          Going after random people is harder and worse than going after the manufacturers of products.

          Unless you want police shooting black people because their lights were “misaligned”

      In the Europe we have the regulations, it still sucks. Especially OEM “active-matrix” LEDs.

        How? We only read the good things about active matrix headlights, not how they behave in the real world
