This can only be good news in my expectation, even if it is the Trump administration in charge.

    Are there adaptive lowbeams? All the problems with too bright headlights I encounter are with too bright lowbeams, not with people accidentally leaving their highbeams on in the middle of the city.

      I do assume that as well. Technically no, but I believe they are typically self leveling, plus are tighter beams

      Some of the reasons for excessive glare include

      • incorrectly aimed headlights
      • older style reflectors that let a lot of light spread
      • leaving high beams on
      • using LED replacement bulbs that aren’t legally replacements

      Adaptive high beams fix 3.5/4 of these. I do not think it helps with incorrectly aimed headlights from lifted trucks though

      I have definitely noticed cars with extremely bright headlights that are also more tightly focussed. No glare
