Yeah, driving at late night... especially with more and more people using billion lumen hyper UV headlights?

Basically, its the old starfield screen saver, but with the those starburst patterns.

Extreme brightness/contrast difference between the lights, and everything they are 'rendered on top of'.

Double or triple polarized lenses do cut it down a bit, but god help you if you don't have them.

Fuck those headlights are the bane of my existence! Seriously I don't understand how a chain of supposedly rational actors, from the engineers, through all the way down the supply chain to the end user, thought it was a good idea to sear the retinas of oncoming drivers.

"Can we sell this for money?"

Thats it.

The entire problem is that there is no attempt at regulating any part of the entire production to consumer process, and cops sure as fuck ain't gonna be able to pull over and ticket everyone using them, even if they are technically illegal in your area.

To be fair some people aren't aware of this, I wasn't until I saw my uncle dimming lights for oncoming cars when I was visiting him with family and made the connection mentally
