Driving is always a very stressful experience for me and lately it has gotten so much worse

I always hear this excuse but I think it’s bullshit. It definitely makes it worse but the lights themselves are the problem. They’re too bright, too blue, and the “safety feature” that IF they’re properly aligned the light has a hard cutoff doesn’t help if the car coming at you is going slightly uphill

Angle isn’t that important when the angle cars face you changes all the time

Hm, I don't think that's natural to LEDs.

Correct, just shitty headlight placement

Yeah no, this laserlight ultra bright shit cutting straight into your eyes wasn't there 20 years ago, sorry kid.

personally I think a lot of it is just the height arms race. I see a lot of Jeeps in the city; their headlights are physically taller than my rear view mirror. Angle won't help that
