    We need new regulations on headlights. 1: make soft white mandatory for non-highbeams. 2: make headlights adjustments and tests part of annual safety inspections so that the highlights on trucks do not shine directly into a sedan’s drivers eyes via the rearview mirror.

      Yeah, the problem with LEDs is that they leaned into the bright as possible approach which makes the misaligned headlights even worse than the old bulbs. They could easily make the headlights a soft light. Harsh white light was a choice.
