    While I understand the need to see where you're going, is it necessary to have lights that will burn the retinas out of the idiot coming towards you? Those super duper bright LED lights should be outlawed. Just my opinion though.

    Last night I was going out 78 towards Allentown, in the rain and a little fog. (Now bear in mind it's not winter, so it's the other season: construction) So I get in the cattle chutes, and coming the other direction was someone in a car with the LED moonbeams on ,along with ultra bright fog lights. I couldn't see anything at all. For about five seconds. But I'm glad they could see...

    Gonna soon bring my welding helmet along at night

    I wasn't trying to incite a riot by what I posted. I hope I didn't offend anyone. But I think you know what I'm talking about. I don't know the proper name of the lights I speak of, but they're obnoxiously bright. And if you have a Volvo, I can understand your dilemma. I've never driven one, but I see them going down the road and wonder how a person is supposed to see with those factory "lights". Reminds me of two lightning bugs doing the nasty.

    Haha i know what your talking about....only thing i hate is if i push in the buttons....my lights come on....so if im in a truck stop trying to back up its difficult for me to back up and hold down the button on the steering wheel too.....so i apologize in advance if a pro star with bright lights shines through your curtains :(

    Well I guess I'm sorta getting used to dealing with Volvos running around all the time with their high beams on anyway. Now I suppose I'll have to get used to them with their LED high beams on all the time at some point. Maybe it's time to rig up a retaliation set.
     
    Joetro and bzinger Thank this.
