My car only comes with the very bright LED headlights. There are no other options. These are way to bright and have a very sharp cut off. Street signs now blind me with high beams on. Though you can barely ever turn on high beams here in NL. The contrast of the low beams is so large I can barely see beyond the lit part right in front of the car. Sometimes I just turn off the lights down to parking lights, because I have a better view of the road ahead where I'm actually looking.
Nowadays I have special glasses that filter the blue light to be able to drive at night for longer periods. I previously had them for oncoming traffic and street lights. Since I got my new car I also need them to be able to drive my own car...
The improved reflectivity of street signs is an under appreciated issue with brighter headlights. It’s like the designers of each expected the other to not change. Now they overshot each other making the street signs unreadable at night.
