Headlight Glare


Recommended Posts

One of my pet dislikes, particularly in recent years is bright white headlight glare. Admittedly, most of my driving is suburban and main highways with overhead lighting so I do not have a need for more powerful headlights unlike if I was more driving on secondary roads at night. On my previous vehicles, I have replaced the expired standard halogen bulbs with more efficient halogen bulbs and my headlights are correctly focused down onto the road.

In response, I do use night vision sunglasses, as required to dramatically reduce the glare from oncoming vehicles. Recently, I noticed an oncoming vehicle where the passenger side headlight appeared to be twice as bright as the driver's side and appeared to have a very unfocussed, dispersed pattern.

I happened to notice this overseas article and wondered if this may be a future indicator or rationale for increased policing relating to headlight glare. If so, the owners of those vehicles with illegal modifications/upgrades to HID and LED headlights may have to reconsider the options and consequences.
