pay to get them replaced with something that's not dangerous

it's your vehicle. you are responsible for it too.

    There are no replacement options, see other threads.

    go custom or eat the loss. at least tint the housings and lenses.

    this is your problem because it's your vehicle, don't make it everybody else's

    If I illegally modified my vehicle in a way that made it worse, it would be.

    This is a factory vehicle from the dealership with no alternative light options. I'm not responsible for anything with regard to the lights on it unless I'm running around with my brights on, which I don't use.

    Not sure how you think the law works, but that's not it.

    You have a warped view here, I have to say.

    I've looked all over for aftermarket options, and asked the dealership repeatedly for options for 4 years.. And I have no responsibility because I won't go spending inordinate amounts of money to try and engineer a potentially worse solution...

    Right... Great viewpoint you have there.

    Dude. I wasn’t joking. They make tape for this. It’s all over amazon. Search for “headlight filter tape.” We’re talking like $7 and 20 minutes of your life to have a lower chance of getting in a wreck. So do it!

    what you are asking for is practically impossible, and actually literally impossible without spending multiple tens of thousands of dollars finding and paying someone to reverse engineer a car's lighting system, including the car's whole computerized network that likely controls the lights and their electrical environment, then find and pay someone to manufacture a custom, one-off modification, and finally find and pay someone to actually install it.

    the result may not be legal, may void a car's warranty, may cause a car to fail a mandatory state inspection, may be unreliable and cost insane amounts of money to fix if/when needed

    this is a wildly unreasonable request and expectation that you're making.
