This isn't always correct. I have a 2021 Toyota and the lights are factory installed and way too bright. I've had the lights lowered by a mechanic, but I still blind oncoming traffic and frequently get people flashing their brights at me. I feel terrible, I don't want to blind anyone. I had someone yelling at me about my aftermarket lights and I had to tell them they were factory, he was still mad at me. It drives me crazy, I hate these lights too! Replacements are over $1,000.
Thanks for sharing this. I'll try to remember there are at least a few people out there like this when my blood pressure starts to rise, and I wish painful deaths upon the presumed assholes blinding me on my way home from working for 14h straight.
Emissions checks need to have strict headlight inspections and tight regulations on aim and intensity. Permits should be required for all these additional spots and bars that truck owners love to slap on too. It's too far out of control.
Yeah, I hate them too. When it's late and I'm on a 2 lane and a sedan is coming towards me I've gotten in the habit of turning my lights off to give them a break (not when it's too dark), but I don't do it for trucks, we just blind each other.
I'll look into a film or something I could try to dim them.
Can't you stick some material over the lights to dim them? Or is that illegal?
