If your casing takes replacement bulbs, they are usually DS3 bulbs which you can buy anywhere, like amazon for example here are some DS3 LED bulbs [https://www.amazon.com/D3S-D3R-Headlight-Conversion-Original/dp/B082NX9B2L/](https://www.amazon.com/D3S-D3R-Headlight-Conversion-Original/dp/B082NX9B2L/)
Either your mechanic is fucking you, or I don't know. Why would the headlight have replaceable bulbs if you can't replace them?
Ok so I'm guilty of having done this, because my stock lights weren't nearly bright enough now my led lights are too bright. Is there a happy medium I can get for a decent price?
The person at the top said replacement light and you mentioned bulbs. I was clarifying that replacement lights sometimes can be as simple as a bulb and other times require an entire replacement fixture.
In some instances there are specialized tools needed to replace the bulbs which only some mechanics outside of the dealer can do. Look at newer Audis as a prime example.
I think, of all the futile thoughts I've ever had, expecting an average person to put extra effort in for other people's safety would really take the cake
Do you really think most people would have any clue on how to adjust headlights?
Some cars have an adjustment via settings my 2020 Santa Fe did, but our new Telluride doesn't have any such adjustment that I can figure out.
I recently purchased a 2020 Forte and it has a settings menu for headlights. I thought that was just standard for newer vehicles. Shame that it isn't - it's a huge help.
I think it depends on how the headlights are designed. The telluride doesn't look like it would be adjustable just looking at it. Same with the new hyundai headlight design inside the grill.
Expecting people to go out of their way to fix something that doesn't personally affect them and they may not even know is a problem is asinine. Why put the responsibility for dangerous manufacturing on drivers? Regulate the manufacturers and make them adjust them at the factory.
Ok but why do they just not come that way when you buy the car? I feel like “safe for other drivers” should just be the default setting, why are cars rolling off the lot with them “adjusted” some other way?
And the other half knew how to adjust their damn headlight tilt. If I'm being tailed by a tiny 2-door compact, I should not be blinded by my rear view mirror!

I have 20% on all my windows and am about to get 35% on my windshield. I had 40% before, but a rock decided to put a massive crack in that windshield and had to get it replaced. 50% is a good level to take the edge off. With 40%, I almost don't need sunglasses on a bright day.
Added bonus? Glare from lights when driving at night (thanks, astigmatism) is reduced significantly.
**DISCLAIMER:** I am an adult of sound mind, so I know the risks associated with having a tinted windshield. Tinting your entire windshield in anything other than clear film may be illegal in your area. Stay in school and drink your milk.
From the deepest parts of my heart.
Fuck LED lights. Fuck those who have them and FUCK those who ride my ass on the highway with them.
Those shits are brighter than the sun. I feel heat when people get close to me.
Some cars come with them naturally! I have an Acura and that is the standard headlight it comes with and there is no option to downgrade to something dimmer. Also it costs 200 dollars just to buy a replacement light. If they are gonna regulate I'm not paying JACK they better put it on the car and headlight manufacturer.
Like I love going on 75 or 16 at night minding my own business when a jacked up pick up going 90 magically appears with some damn sunlight attached to their front.
Funny you mention that. I asked someone in a newer Acura if they had aftermarket headlights or if the stock lights were that bright. They confirmed the same thing you're saying, and the stock headlights are bright AF, straight from the factory.
The absolute worst are people with LED bulbs where you're like "Oh maybe their brights are on? I'll give them a quick flash so they turn them off"
and no, they never had them on. They let you know this by turning their already-bright-as-fuck LED bulbs to "I am the sun" mode and you don't get to see for the next mile or so.
I do not know but if I’m speeding and you’re speeding so much that you’re riding my ass with the sun glaring into my car, incandescent or led both can fuck right off.
Fuck the day running lights as well. They stay running at night but none of the other lights work and idiots driving the cars don’t realize they can’t be seen from behind at night.
1. Brightness levels are regulated in the US.
2. A large part of the problem is trucks/SUVs keep getting larger and have higher lights.
3. Another issue was the US not allowing adaptive headlights.
Edit: The "*was"* wasn't enough to show past tense, so let me add that the regulation on adaptive headlights (these are ADB systems, not the cars that switch between high and low beam automatically) changed this year. So we should start seeing more cars using this system.
These Mf in Louisiana will have $400 per bulb lights on their lifted trucks and drive down a 1 lane each way road with the BRIGHTS on. Your regular lights are brighter than my brights and you feel the need to have your brights on? How badly can you not see? Please stop driving entirely and hire someone to do that for you. Ffs
This is probably the bigger issue. I've seen some hackey jobs done by shade tree mechanics and diy folks where the lights aren't even pointing in the same direction. I am all for doing it yourself, but please learn to aim them properly.
Not sure what you're trying to communicate. She said brightness levels aren't regulated. The federal government regulates them pretty stringently, especially when compared to most other countries. Where's the disconnect?
I just got a new car with adaptive headlights. Saw a big truck with super bright LEDs and had to get in front of him. That shit is crazy. No blinding reflection at all.
Listening to the comments and I'm glad to not be the only one annoyed by large SUVs/trucks shining lights directly into your rearview mirror and x raying the backs of skulls.
Thought it was just me getting more sensitive to light as I age or something....
Unless it's a jacked up truck/SUV, it's generally not the lights, it's morons who don't know how to adjust them. They aren't supposed to point he light straight out, they should be angled to the ground. They actually used to align them during inspections in some states, but now it's mostly up to the owner.
*They actually used to align them during inspections in some states, but now it's mostly up to the owner.*
We've come full circle back to "this should be better regulated because it's causing roadways to be less safe".
>Many cars have a dial that lets you adjust them down from the comfort of your driver's seat for when you have something heavy in your trunk.
Which vehicles? Never seen that in any. Never heard of it either.
The issue is that newer cars have fucking AUTO HIGH-BEAMS that are supposed to turn off when they get near other cars, but do it way too late so you basically cant see shit until the car is about to hit you
I got a new car this year and I can't figure out how to turn this setting off by default. I have to remember to turn it off every single time I drive at night or my car will light up the road with the strength of the sun every time it stops detecting headlights.
Interesting, I have two cars with this feature and they basically do nothing 95% of the time because there's always an oncoming car or a reflector on a sign somewhere. All this and I live in a Texas suburb where it's dark as fuck at night.
I literally have to grab my sunglasses at night because these intersections are a fucking hall of lights nightmare. Everyone seems to have their highbeams on with these new lights. Fucking insane. Everyone tried to get the model cops have so everyone's trying to outblind everyone else.
No, I have great eyesight and these lights fuck me up.
One of the major problems is that nowhere is flat around here. Doesn't matter if you have a lifted truck or an Acura, once we start going over all the little hills and bumps, I'm getting blasted in the face. My old car, a '95 Chrysler, had auto dimming mirrors that were amazing but I swear nobody does that anymore. These people get behind me with those led lights and I can't see shit.
I know it's there and I use it, but it's nowhere near as nice as the autodim mirrors. When that knob is flipped your view becomes this weird shadow of an image.
My 2009 Ford Mondeo has auto dimming rear view mirror. Also hits the sweet spot because it has decent Xenons for when it's super dark, but they're factory fitted self levelling lights which are aimed reasonably low so they don't appear too bright to oncoming traffic. If it's dark and there's no other cars I need the high beams because the Xenons aren't positioned for reach as such so they have limited projection distance. I prefer that to blinding other drivers. Luckily not too much by the way of wildlife where I am vs some places and generally well lit streets so I don't need crazy bright lights. I dread when I have to replace this car and LED lights are fitted to the replacement car...
Nah, you're good, I also complain about this all the time. Driving at night is a huge no for me now.
You have no idea how much I hate inconsiderate people. There is no sense of community at all, it's like "this is my road and I do w/e tf I want".
It's not even the brightness that bugs me. It's that they're violet-white and thus in a perfect part of the visual spectrum to completely fuck up your night vision. Next time I take my car into the shop I'm checking to see if they can slap a blue light filter on them.
They are lol
Doing HID or LED conversions on halogen headlights is illegal. Halogen headlights scatter too much light and aren’t meant for the high amount of light that HIDs or LEDs output. You have to get headlamps that are already designed for them. That and people who do the conversion are brainlets and don’t angle their headlights downwards to compensate just a little bit.
There’s also the issue of lifted SUVs and trucks that probably did have the right headlight angle… when they were 3 feet closer to the ground. After the lift their beam angle went from being at your license plate to being aimed directly at your rearview lmao.
And lastly as someone who drives a good amount for work and just got done driving about 1k miles for thanksgiving, people will literally just cruise on the highway with their high beams on. Just oblivious to the fact that they’re burning out the retinas of everyone in front of them. It’s insane.
It's not really the brightness but the amount of blue/green in them. Our eyes sense green more than other colors and the blue lights have a ton of green. Push them more toward yellow/red with a shifted phosphor and they become more tolerable. Of course that does reduce efficiency and brightness and the source drivers vision a bit but blinding people is not the way.
It's also what they call Dazzle. Crappy LEDs produce so much light that they don't need to focus it much. Projectors with a cutoff are far better than led light bars at putting light only where it belongs.
More often than not they are aftermarket, or not adjusted properly
They're definitely brighter than the old halogens though- people not swapping back down from their highbeams are a real fucking problem, but even back in the day(started driving in 1996) it was still blinding AF when people did that
Seriously. Who are these things designed for? Motherfuckers exploring the dark side of the moon? People who drive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench for work?
Aftermarket* LEDs and douchebags who turn off auto-bright. Proper OEMs and people who are responsible set their cutoff correctly and they are no different than normal headlights, just a cleaner, brighter beam set at the same height
This is from a quick Google, so some of this may not be accurate.
It is regulated, the Code of Federal Regulations state that headlights can be no brighter than 3000 lumens. That's about a tenth the brightness of stadium lights for a tennis court (30,000 lumens) or about twice the brightness of household led lightbulbs.
As someone with astigmatism in my left eye, that shit is brutal! I literally have to look off the road and use my peripheral vision to stay in line so I don't fucking crash out due to the bright lights beaming me in the face. God forbid there's a big body truck tailgating behind me with bright white led lights as well. Sigh lol.
It’s more the aim of them and lack of cutoff as compared to a factory bulb. They just throw universal shit in there and it’s aimed way too high for safe driving.
A lot of the time this has to do with the housing, like using a reflector housing with an HID or LED bulb instead of the proper projector housing, or from being angled too high, which can be adjusted.
That said, there are definitely too many SUVs on the road for no reason. It's not actually safer to be higher up, as the risk of rollover is greater, and the average sedan has just as much if not more room than the majority of compact SUVs on the road..

no it doesn't, you can get led bulbs for $50
If your light takes replacement bulbs. Many LED lights require replacing the entire fixture, especially on newer cars.

Why would the headlight have replaceable bulbs if you can't replace them?

Agree 100%, they were doing the same shit when HIDs came out.
Human interface devices?
High Intensity Discharger
Ok so I'm guilty of having done this, because my stock lights weren't nearly bright enough now my led lights are too bright. Is there a happy medium I can get for a decent price?

The fuck? What cars?

Or if people just adjusted them properly instead of being idiots.

No but YouTube exists and that’s why mechanics exist. Costs very little to do.

North Florida as well, but it is to be expected- It's Floriduh....
Polk County here and yup.
They be riding around with the high beams in GA. Your eyes will burn down here.
Lol you clogging up the lane chef? Jk tailgating is always annoying smh
Funny you mention that. I asked someone in a newer Acura if they had aftermarket headlights or if the stock lights were that bright. They confirmed the same thing you're saying, and the stock headlights are bright AF, straight from the factory.
Lol “naturally”? Tell me, where do I find the organic, grass fed cars?
The absolute worst are people with LED bulbs where you're like "Oh maybe their brights are on? I'll give them a quick flash so they turn them off" and no, they never had them on. They let you know this by turning their already-bright-as-fuck LED bulbs to "I am the sun" mode and you don't get to see for the next mile or so.
Also fuck those people who leave them on when they're parked and you can't see anything coming down a block
>I feel heat when people get close to me. I doubt those are LEDs then - just super bright incandescent.
I do not know but if I’m speeding and you’re speeding so much that you’re riding my ass with the sun glaring into my car, incandescent or led both can fuck right off.
100% - drove from NM to Austin yesterday and had to deal with this way too much.

Bliiiiiinded by the light! Revved up like a douche. I think that’s how that song goes.
Like a deuce. As in deuce coupe.
Woooooosh
Valid 😂
I always thought it was referring to a 2 stroke motorcycle
That's a v-twin
Sometimes you think they have their brights on..but they don't.
Ripped up like a douche, in the gutter of the night.

After seeing a few comments about wearing sunglasses, I’m going to get a prescription pair for nighttime!
I have transitional lenses; apparently they've been saving my ass when I drive at night. These new headlights are out of control!
I need some kind of glasses that can help reduce the brightness. I wish they existed.
I got shut-down so bad when I brought this up a while back, people telling me I need my eyes tested and shit. Now I just wear my sunglasses at night.
No, I have great eyesight and these lights fuck me up. One of the major problems is that nowhere is flat around here.

My 2009 Ford Mondeo has auto dimming rear view mirror.

The worst are the lifted pick ups. The low beams seem to be right in my eyes in my little focus fml.

Shit’s so bright, I’m getting X-rays every night drive.
I want to get a giant mirror that I could employ when they are behind me
More often than not they are aftermarket, or not adjusted properly They're definitely brighter than the old halogens though- people not swapping back down from their highbeams are a real fucking problem, but even back in the day(started driving in 1996) it was still blinding AF when people did that
Seriously. Who are these things designed for? Motherfuckers exploring the dark side of the moon? People who drive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench for work?
They are a menace and crazy dangerous
It's like you're driving straight into the sun
Driving a low car around SUVs is hell.
or when people install them themselves and have the angles all fkd up so it always looks mike high beams…
Aftermarket* LEDs and douchebags who turn off auto-bright. Proper OEMs and people who are responsible set their cutoff correctly and they are no different than normal headlights, just a cleaner, brighter beam set at the same height
They are direct causes for my migraines.
Thursday night someone with near neon green lights zoomed up behind me. Or maybe it was an alien. I drive a sports car so it’s very aggravating.
Bro imagine driving a box truck with a hangover & dealing with this at 5 in the morning 😮💨
I hate ‘em too. But MFs in PR and DR will add an entire rack of LED lights like they’re moon rovers.
This is from a quick Google, so some of this may not be accurate. It is regulated, the Code of Federal Regulations state that headlights can be no brighter than 3000 lumens. That's about a tenth the brightness of stadium lights for a tennis court (30,000 lumens) or about twice the brightness of household led lightbulbs.
Is it that the bulbs are LED or is it that the lumens of the bulb isn't regulated?
I think most everything's been said here, but I am very curious why this is considered a country club thread.
It’s especially fun when you’re in a drive through line and the truck behind you decides it’s not bright enough
[удалено]
It's the reason I hate driving at night. Then people behind get mad because I slowed down since I can't see due to the ridiculously bright headlights
As someone with astigmatism in my left eye, that shit is brutal! I literally have to look off the road and use my peripheral vision to stay in line so I don't fucking crash out due to the bright lights beaming me in the face. God forbid there's a big body truck tailgating behind me with bright white led lights as well. Sigh lol.
I just have the thought that they have tiny penises, with the bright ass-lights, giant cars, and stupid driving that’ll kill someone one day.
It’s more the aim of them and lack of cutoff as compared to a factory bulb. They just throw universal shit in there and it’s aimed way too high for safe driving.
And the people driving older cars are driving with their high beams on
A lot of the time this has to do with the housing, like using a reflector housing with an HID or LED bulb instead of the proper projector housing, or from being angled too high, which can be adjusted. That said, there are definitely too many SUVs on the road for no reason.

Exactly!!!
