I know I'm not the only one who feels like I'm getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?

maybe i dont have the perspective of other countries but some of the lighs im experiencing are well above acceptable (im guessing aftermarket). has there been fines for this from police or transport departments?

    The police can issue "yellow stickers" for illegal modifications including non compliant headlight modifications.

    If given one, the vehicle has to go for inspection.

    It happens, however it's rare enough that it doesn't really stop people doing stupid shit like fitting the wrong bulbs in the wrong housing or fitting LEDs with the power of 10 suns and fucking binding everyone.
