or the lights are not adjusted correctly

Yes, and that will remain a problem disregarding the type of light.

Funnily enough the 2 cars i head with terrible lights both had xenon bulbs.

That's strange, do they get weak as they get old?
Funny enough I had just replaced the halogen bulbs in our old car to some crazy expensive ones with shorter lifespan, just before we got our EV.
Then when I got home, I found out that for the same price, I could have had LED bulbs. 🤥

I just hope our headlights last really long, because they cost $2000 to replace a piece!

    On my first car the mechanism that is supposed to adjust the headlight level was broken so the lights "fell" into their lowest position so only the front of my car was lit up. On my second car i took the time to fix everything and adjusted the headlights to a correct position but the bulbs themselves were old and probably had weaker or less brightness than new halogen bulbs. As far as LED bulbs, i only use LEDs in my high beams. I don't want to be that guy who blinds everyone with their cheap LEDs but with high beams you're supposed to switch them off anyway. Doesn't really make much of a difference to me if you use LED high beams or if you add a LED Bar (so extra lights) to your car. LED high beams just don't add an ugly extra lights to your car while also being a bit weaker, so if you forget or drive on a windy road then you don't blind others as much.
