    LED Headlights aren’t the problem. Are LED lightbulbs a billion times brighter than others? No. They make them use less power and are the same brightness. The problem is not using dimmer LEDs.

      It’s also the way they make cheap LED headlights. The reflectors that direct the beam of light in your headlights expects the filament of the bulb to be in a very specific spot, but LED headlights often have a much wider area where the light emits from than the little filament that traditional headlights do. So when installed in cars that aren’t designed for LEDs, the beam pattern can be off and make the light shine at people instead of down toward the road.

      Fuck blue LED’s in general. No I don’t want to be able to see my Wifi repeater doubling as an adult nightlight.

          I do too, but the LED is so bright that it lights up the entire plastic from within

            Yeah, my PC is glowing bright blue whenever it’s in sleep, because of the side panel.

    Aren’t all lights led nowadays? I don’t think the type of the light is the problem

      exactly, LED lights aren’t magically bad, car regulations and enforcement of those regulations just suuuuuuuuuuuck.

      The only reason you couldn’t make incandescents as bad is because they’d fucking melt.
