Tesla Has To Fix Its Super-Bright Headlights. A New Law Could Change Things For Good.

I don’t know why the manufacturers have such a hard-on for super bright headlights. It isn’t like anyone is basing their buying decision on it. I guess when you are an executive who never drives themselves you don’t get blinded by them. I hope the NHTSA finally sets limits on headlight brightness and the gov bans aftermarket lights that exceed limits also. Now if we could just get enforcement to crack down on the a-holes who blast backward facing lights to harass other drivers also.

It’s an arms race. People are blinded by the glare of oncoming headlights in their old cars, so search for a way to safely drive their next car.
I was tempted for my older car because it was getting really difficult to drive at night with how dim those headlights were, relative to oncoming glare. I see replacement LED bulbs “for off-road use only” advertised as much brighter. Turns out replacing the bulbs (with new correct ones) and cleaning the windshield made some difference. Enough

yeah often cleaning and polishing the headlight lenses does wonders for regular wattage lighting.
