@@warden9876 If it hurts your eyes, it indicates that your eye muscles are undeveloped and need training. The pain comes from your eye pupils being enlarged so that they can see better at night, but are then suddenly forced to rapidly contract to adjust for the sudden increase in brightness in your view (caused by bright lights from an oncoming vehicle). This sudden contraction causes discomfort in normal eyes, but cause slight pain or extreme discomfort in eyes with poor muscle response. Luckily I'm just the guy who can help you. By wiring me a small fee of 10 000 bucks, I will send you an address where a bunch of totally not shady bald men will tie you to a tree at night and then drive a lifted truck close to your face and proceed to switch on the truck's 30000Lm LED high beam headlights at your eyeballs for several hours until your eyes are bulging with muscles. Because you seem like a cool dude, we'll even throw in a free additional flood light that will hyperflash at your eyes while the truck runs its headlights. We will glue your eyelids to your eyebrows so that you are unable to blink during the procedure (like they say, no pain no gain).

Third, the guy at the auto parts store says that replacing one of those HID headlights that you speak of runs up around $1,500. And fourth, if the lights on our trucks really are just a base option, is it really too much to ask that they be even half as good as the sealed-beam lights from 30 years ago that STILL can be replaced for just a fraction of the cost of the new versions? Seems like a pretty useless result when today's high tech and high cost provide a light that's far worse than any light made in decades. I see no excuse for that.

I once had to drive off the highway to not get killed by a soccer mom on a minivan, scared the sh** out of me. So yes, being run into and near death experiences were a constant but I do miss filling my tank with around 15$. Same costs like 80$ back at home. Oh, and I managed to go kayaking all the time taking the kayak on the miata as well ahah Check this photo of my miata next to my neighbour's and you'll have a sense of scale ahahah (ibb.coSLASHrmCxwBZ)

I was at Barnes and Nobles and he was sitting outside. I felt bad just unlocking the van since I knew he would get lights right at him.

This is so true. It's insane the over illumination. Just because it's brighter doesn't necessarily mean one sees better. The over illumination is a symptom of a paranoid society.

Almost a decade ago, after watching a night game at a stadium, I was driving on a two way road and a truck facing me had the lights brighter than my car's high beams. I thought that it had the high beams on. So, I turned my high beams on just as well. The truck's driver response was immediate with high beams brighter than the stadium lights. I was like "what the hell?" I had to make a complete stop because I couldn't even open my eyes for several seconds and could've gotten in an accident. Since then I've started to notice that more and more trucks have insane headlights. Nowadays sedans also have these crazy lights. Toyota is the brand that I have to complain the most about because I have many friend Camrys and Corollas from 2019-2021 which have these crazy dual/auto headlights as bright as my 2003 Honda Accord headlights. Everytime I ride my friends Toyotas at night, their headlights are always all over the place as if Toyota want the drivers to notice every road detail 180 degrees angle, 2 miles far away. Let's be real: How fast do you drive to have the need to see obstacle 2 miles away, 180 degrees around from your car?

Thank you, I recently had to get some body work done to the front of my car & my guy upgraded my headlights. One of my biggest pet peeves are these car that have headlights that make me have to pull over until they pass because I can't see. While I love my brighter headlight I've been worried that mine might be to high & kind of blinding people. Now I know how to check & it will ease my mind 😌

the colour or brightness of your headlights really does not matter so long as they're aimed correctly and you have the proper sized bulb. The absolutely worst offender of blinding headlights are those who use incorrect bulbs in reflector housings. The most common mistake is people who are replacing dual bulbs (hi and lo combo bulbs) with an LED hi and lo bulbs. Some dual bulb LED have 3 LED clusters, at 10 o clock, 2 o clock, and 6 o clock. The will scatter the light everywhere and blind oncomming drivers, pretty much 24/7 high beams and you'll notice your highs make almost no difference. If you look at a dual halogen bulb it has 2 fillaments, one behind the other. the LED must mimic this layout if you want the correct beam pattern, a cluster at 9 and 3 o clock and another behind that at 9 and 3 o clock. When it comes to projector housings though it is much much simpler. You can put any damn light in there at any brightness and any size. If your headlight is properly adjusted, it wouldn't bother anyone.

@lohikarhu734

Well, the USA has always been 'behind the curve' on lighting...even the car used i this video had the absolutely ancient SAE beam pattern, which has very diffused 'edges'; the European standards, on the other hand, have a sharply-defined pattern, with an easy to see upper edge, so that you can clearly see if your low beams are too high (or, too low!). In addition to automatic levelling, which seems to be required in Europe for HID lamps, even 'family cars' often have an adjustment control, on the dash, near the headlamp switch, for headlamp aim adjustment/correction whenever you add a lot of weight to the car, for example. Also, in Europe, we are seeing headlamp systems that automatically provide 'dark spots' in the headlamp beqm pattern wherever oncoming cars are detected by a small camera (often part of the driver assistance systems). In the USA, there are still some states that don't even allow the European headlight pattern, something like 60+ years after its adoption!

Thank you! Now entire world needs to see this!

I had a 2010 Mazda 3 with HIDs, and that car had the absolute most frickin awesome feature: you could manually adjust the angle of the low beams with a switch on the dash. It had four settings (0-1-2-3, presumably corresponding to the number of rear seat passengers), and the higher the setting, the further down they went. I'd keep it set to 0 or 1 on unlit roads, depending on speed, and at 2 on roads with streetlights. I have a 2019 Golf now, and the only things I wish this car had are a smoother shift throw, and an easy-adjust low beam switch.

And then there are cars that have always on backlit gauges, combine those with DRLs that throw some light forward and you end up with people that don't turn their lights on at night and as a consequence have no tail lights on.

Yes, the Insurance Institute ran a test and found a great many New vehicles failed proper night illumination - whether too bright, too high, too narrow or something. Although I was glad they eliminated vehicle yearly inspections in my state, FLA, I think they need to reinstitute them about every three years. They could also catch those annoying muffler modifier violators.

Even when they're aimed correctly, it doesn't matter, they still dazzle oncoming drivers. Partly because headlamps are covered in reflectors, scattering the light. And partly because no road is perfectly straight, you're always turning and stuff so the arguments moot

Why is no one talking about the fact that if headlights are too bright, your eyes will be slightly less adapted to the dark and it will be harder to see anything that the headlights are not aiming at?

You could also point out how SUVs have their headlights at the same height as a sedan driver's eyes. On a semi-related note, you could do a video about how the rear bumpers for semi-trailers are at just the right height to decapitate sedan drivers (Including Mustang drivers).

1.) That's still an aiming issue, not a height issue. Aiming regulations are different when the center of the headlight reaches a certain height. The 2 inch drop rule doesn't apply for tall vehicles in the USA. Some of these SUV or trucks trucks have a switch to lower the headlights on the fly to not blind traffic. Problem is, most don't use it or don't care for it. So i propose this should be an automatic feature when a lower level vehicle in front is detected, the headlight lowers its aim automatically. 2.) Side mirrors and Rear view mirrors should come with mandatory auto dimmers. It's not the solution to misaligned headlights, but it will drastically cut down on the annoyance and safety hazards of driving with glare hitting our eyes.

Where I live, if you drive 30% below the speed limit, you are LEGALLY REQUIRED to put your 4 way flashers on. It's actually a law.

I have literally never seen anyone do this.

We are past the ebay H1 in a civic days! It's almost 2021 and the latest and greatest culprits are: - 2017-2018 Toyota Corolla - 2019 Ford Explorer - 2015+ Escalade - Any dam jeep with LEDs - 2019/2020 Subaru Forester We also see the new Honda Accord / Civics doing LEDs and VW with the 2019 VW Passat. All way too F'n bright! Flash em' at the last sec! I hate driving at night now. Also not all roads are level and here in Canada (ie - twinned highways) and we don't have self adjusting headlights.

Had a vw polo for 3 years after passing my test, just recently got an Audi A3 1.4 litre tfsi! whatta difference! love this car, i mean the polo was a great wee first car, but i love driving this audi! Its unbelievable! (not an audi only fan boy, but do like the look of them more than bms or merchs, and this is an amazing car to drive!!!!) :) i know not massively relevant, but it has LED lights, driving in the dark is way easier with this car too, oh, and auto headlights and it has that light calibration adjust thing. (British driver btw, so, you know, driving a manual transmission car, aka a real one ;) ) figure my comment will have rustled at least a few jimmys there

So bright that I don’t even know if they have their high beams on

Most cars you see in America still have separate bulbs for the low and high beam. Typically, if the orientation of the bulbs are horizontal, then they'll be the inside bulbs. If they're vertically oriented, then they're usually the lower bulbs.

@@Snattle_Rake yea not helpful when even low beams cause extreme blindness. I hate driving around new cars at night because they are too damn bright. The Government should immediately ban this shit.

At my job we don't have blinds so everyday at damn night time someone always pulls up with their expensive ass cars and flash bangs everyone in the store with LEDS

5:16 definitely was not expecting Final fantasy music XD

THANK YOU. I recently bought a truck after being a lifelong sedan guy. One major reason, I was tired of being blinded on dark roads by some of these ridiculous headlights.

"That was easy" ...finding a flat surface with a wall... ...that's the hard part.

People and their LED and Xenons pretending to be a second sun

Dude props to whoever chose that background music at 3:25

Most of the time when I drive at night if im in traffic or something, basically I have a car behind me and I cant escape it, 9/10 times the headlights on the car behind me are brighter in front of me than my own healights, like literaly I can completely turn off my headlights and I wouldnt lose any visibility of the road at all.
