Automakers Don't Want to Fix Their Blindingly Bright Headlights

Lately, I've truly hated riding at night. Not because of the critters I have to duck. Not because it's cold. Not because it's even dark and spooky in my night skies-loving hamlet with no outdoor lighting. No, it's because every damn new car, truck or SUV has lights that amount to the sun's lumen count. TL:DR; they're bright as all hell.

The issue has become one that most everyone knows and everyone complains about, as in recent years, new trucks, cars and SUV lights have seemingly gotten brighter and brighter with each passing year. And while most automakers won't cop to such increases in brightness, they've been forced to admit its actually a thing in court numerous times now, with Tesla and the NHTSA going to battle in the most recent case.
