I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    Likely just the increasing brightness of the bulbs. Lots of times I will assume someone has high beams on only to see them flick even brighter once I go past them.

      I’ve thought about that, but it’s not too hard to tell when the light cluster has both on at the same time (not the fog lights)

        I’ve seen dozens of different light cluster designs, I don’t think you can visually tell unless you’re familiar with the car in question and they haven’t gotten aftermarket lights.

          Generally they’re all within the main light cluster. Fog lights are towards the bottom. It’s much more apparent on older cars than newer ones I will admit.
