#2In the Balkans we have solved this problem by driving 20+ year old cars that don't have Xenon/LED headlights.

Where I am, the older cars are about as likely to blind others because the headlights are misaligned, and one might be pointed up like a high beam.

#5Not specifically Germany. The survey was done in concert by the automobile clubs of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Norway, and Bosnia.

#6The headlights are too goddamn bright anymore, and too white. The older yellow bulbs felt a lot gentler on the eyes. Oh, and god help you if you're in a normal sedan, because every pickup, SUV, and "crossover" (mini-SUV) is shooting their headlights right at your face.
I remember my driver's ed teacher, circa ~2003, teaching us that if the oncoming car has its high beams on, you can look at the white line on the right side of the road and it'll keep you in your lane without getting too dazzled. Didn't really need it much then, but it's become more and more essential over the years. Now sometimes I flash the oncoming driver because I think they've got their high beams on, only to get an absolutely eye-searing flash in return -- they just had over-bright headlights!

#7Yeah, every tesla earlier than the most recent update following me dazzles in the rear mirror. And always from the front. By far the worst offender. Ioniq5 also seems to dazzle a ton. No idea how that passed tüv.

Yeah, the LED swap kits are contributing their part to the brightness war too.
