   Im getting older now and i can't even look anywhere in the direction of oncoming traffic due to the new lights. Ive gotten real good at driving without watching where im going these days….and i drive for a living. I figure if i hit something, i just didn't see it. Too bad, so sad.

   The problem is most street lamps don't work or the bulb aren't replaced even on the lights that are next to highways and the other problem is people driving without turning on their headlights so you don't even know a car is their

   It's a headlight arms race.

   There go to be so many cheap uncalibrated and not DOT approved LED lamps on the road that I could I no longer see. My eyes get dilated by oncoming traffic with super bright 5k lights to the point my conventional regular factory lights no longer put enough light for me to see.

   So, I had no choice but to get on eBay and get the LED after market lights…I have no choice…

   This is due to US government corruption in allowing the unrestricted flow of Chinese lighting devices that are not DOT approved. Technically from what I know in most states all of these add-on lights from China are illegal. Most states have requirements that you only use US DOT approved equipment on vehicles. I know for sure that's in the California vehicle code.

   But in crooked deals between the US politicians and China are allowing China to ship things in on an individual basis where things are not screened and the Chinese are allowed to sell to and ship directly to the consumer. This is of course the same method the Chinese are using to ship counterfeit goods to American consumers. Part of the trick is on the small packets directly to the consumer (and I forgot the acronym that they are officially called) is that they avoid customs tariffs. A little back door way to avoid our tariffs..But that's another story.

   But nonetheless none of these Chinese lights have ever been tested in a lab for output or any other parameters. So it's a wild wild west out there on the road. And you just have to keep increasing the lumens to compete.

   Blinding other drivers with your headlamp is great. Everyone does it.

   You left out the Citroen DS! That had headlights that turned with the wheel and better illuminated corners.

   High tech and useless. No throw, no spread and 6000k are incredibly bad during rain and fog.

    Regulators should figure out a way to revoke licenses to those who drive with the high beams. That would be progress.

    😊how about designing more durable lenses that don't get foggy after a few years. this is a technology that has taken us backwards in headlight technology

    Haha… @ 2:00 some things still to this day never change.. Ford especially. The difference between Ford and a tampon is the tampon comes with its own tow rope. 😂

    My last car had matrix headlights & when I ordered my new car I ordered it with standard lights.
    The reason for this is that I realised that I dipped my lights quicker than the matrix lights. I now have less oncoming cars flashing me.

    At minimum DRL’s should be wired to tail lights to have at least the outline of the vehicle.

    It doesn’t matter how bright or high tech the headlights are when……idiot drivers don’t use them….or become WAY over reliant on automatic headlights…..the headlights need to be wired to the instrument panel lights so the lights come on when engine starts….headlights are not about how good the drivers night vision is….they are about other drivers being able to see you.

    The truth is that the automatic headlights are blinding incominging drivers first and only then the camera captures their lights and the system reacts. If you ask european truckers, they would tell you a lot about the "pleasure" of night driving being regularly blinded even for a short moment.

    cool topic. I liked the video.
    but I think the voiceovers were really poor in quality?
    it was really hard to listen to for me.
    maybe because of the constant music in the background?
    the narrator’s voice sounded like he was constantly walking up and away from the microphone.

    Our new headlights are an enormous step backward. They cost a fortune and they turn yellow. My truck is a 22 and I avoid driving it at night because I can’t see anything. I would love to know how much of ou4 insurance premiums is that we have $4,000 worth of headlights on the corners of our cars?
    It’s just stupid

    I feel like LED headlights are ruining my vision. They are way too bright. These better lights are causing me to either squint, look away or shut my eyes for a second. Not very safe options.

    US approved adaptive headlights in 2019. They still refuse to allow any manufacturers to activate the systems for the USA. Don’t count on them appearing activated in the USA in the next 3 to 5 years. Maybe never. Manufacturers will continue to sell them as expensive disabled options. Go figure.
