You pegged me though; I'm the White guy with just the slightest modicum of self restraint and situational awareness - capable of peering into the future beyond the next 1/2 second.
LED headlights standard on pretty much any new car, so youre shit outta luck there.
BMW's have this matrix headlight thing that 'creates a space' in the lights for anything in front, Mercs automatically drop the beams, Kias and those shitbox chinese things do similar, but LEDs arent going anywhere.
When I was a professional driver, I distinctly remember when the retina burning headlights started to become standard on American cars. I read at the time, that in Europe that there was a leveling device (high tech gyro system) incorporated within vehicles with these high-intensity headlights so that oncoming traffic would be able to pass without having their eyes fried. A decision was made somewhere, that US car makers would not incorporate this part of the new technology. It's like you need a pair of sunglasses until the vehicle passes, then you're back to driving on a dark road again, all of this within seconds. The sun doesn't come and go like that!
However "high tech gyro system" is not what's at work here. You have a series of CMOS or CCD sensors coupled with computer chips that activate/deactivate LEDs based on sensing incoming light. So now when your light goes bad, instead of a $10 bulb replacement, you're looking at anywhere from $500 to over $1k for a fucking headlight replacement. And a fucking lens assembly while you're at it in some cases.
That's not pointing out the vulnerabilities to the ECU and the CAN "smart" headlights create. Yea no thanks I'll take the fleeting discomfort or occasional squinting over the ever-growing, ever-more-aggressive computerization of the auto fleet.
They have fully addressable led arrays now. Some cars are even equipped with them being sold in the US. Unfortunately the DOT has yet to allow any of the technology in its current form and are advocating for a way more expensive technology to be used, probably because whoever in charge has stock in that bullshit.

I have a car with auto-dim mirrors. They're useless with LED headlamps - you can tell the filter was designed for tungsten bulbs with a lot of light in the ROY port of the spectrum.
LEDS, being blue with YAG, don't have much to filter.
I see it more & more. Nobody gives a fuck anymore. Theywon't use turn signals and almost cause pile-ups, they run redlights, they clog up the passing lane the motherfuckers and a 4-way stop is a nightmare. There's always some dumb fuck at a 4-way stop who starts motioning for everyone to go. I think we should be allowed to mount 50 cal weapons to our vehicles.
Dude i fucking hate that shit. When someone doesn’t just follow the rules for a four way stop and tried to wave me through, I go and hold my middle finger as I slowly pass by their car.
weve got what i call "Kallista Karen" - i copped a fine a few weeks back because two of them within a minute apparently called 000 at 1am (so its two cunts driving together doing this) and ultimately only copped 'crossing double lines' which i threw in the bin.
single lane mountain roads, if traffic doing limit, absolutely no need to overtake anyone, nice drive, no need to hurry. 10-20 under on their own, plenty of opportunity to quickly buzz around.
Then theres Karen.
30-40 under the limit.... on straights and still brakes into every corner dropping them even further under. If you line them up by giving space, then getting on the gas nice and early and they see you back away to do it, as soon as you put your foot down, they wander half way across the road to block you. If they dont see you until youre overtaking, suddenly they forget how safe 30-40 under the limit is and no one should drive faster, and plant their foot, leaving you having to drop back before the next corner, or traffic. - I copped, two, of these, who apparently then emailed 'the video' to police. Which conveniently didnt have them weaving braking and speeding, only me 'excessively' speeding past (at the speed limit, 40kmh faster than them, not breaking the speed limit, perfectly legal and safe overtake, but got past them before the lines broke) this shit happens, not just multiple times a day, but especially on a sunny day, its every road you turn on to.
And then theres a 100kmh fun section on another road, with an overtake lane half way down it - Karen will do 70kmh for a good 10 minutes or so, come to overtake lane sign, accelerate to 110kmh, move into overtake lane, the second the overtake lane ends, anchors, 70kmh again, no place to get past.
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DUH SpED KIlLs
But no i dont give much of a fuck about people whining about lights being too bright, if youre getting old, get glare glasses. Theres actual shit that rages me every day going on thats dangerous as fuck, but poor cunts like me keep getting demerit points just trying to keep ourselves safe and not actually breaking any laws other than upsetting karen and refusing to apologise.

There's a mountain road I take. Speed limit is 45-55 but I drive it 80mph with a radar detector. I've driven the road many times. Did a 3 hour trip in 1hour 40mins once. Anyway. There are some idiots. The worst ones are those who hit the brakes all the fucking time. No capacity to think ahead and no research into driving technique. Always braking and accelerating. And there's a subset of this retard that, if you plan ahead and consider the road, and leave distance for them to brake through a turn so you coastt up to them just as they're accelerating, they will brake check you instead of accelerating.
PSA: pickup truck drivers might need to adjust their headlights down depending on their suspension and towing situations. It's usually just a screwdriver or an allen key.
All exterior LED lighting should be punishable by death. That includes headlights, streetlights, floodlights, porchlights, ANY lights. The "blue" pigment in LED lights is an exponential spike in the spectrum that not only is painful to look at but causes irreversible damage to your retina over time. Not to mention the psychological and physiological problems LED lights induce.
The people in charge know these lights are bad for us and push for more and more of them. Same with the poison in our food, water, and air.
Suffering, pain, and misery is their goal. It's part of the crop.
just make sure youre at home before the nursing home gate gets locked dude, youll be nice and safe, you can draw the curtains, and turn all the lights off.
Fuck me! I hate that shit. I drive a two lane road for twenty five miles to and from work. I hate the winter time when these cock fags drive at me with their nigger neon blue brights in my face. I flash them and most of them don’t get it. I too want their heads on a pike!
A lot of it is people/companies not bothering to adjust/install their headlights properly. They should never be above the bottom line of a normal passenger car's window, beyond 25ft that is.
Of course nobody checks that shit, nor does anyone get dinged for it. And we have an entire country full of retarded shitskins, and young men, replacing their own headlights and not doing it correctly. And a lot of mechanic shops don't have people intelligent/trained to do a good job anymore.
Some headlight housings can accept LEDs, but not all. That needs to be researched ahead of time, they need to be installed correctly(they can be installed in all the wrong orientations), and they need to be adjusted correctly.
If any of those steps aren't done properly, you blind other drivers. And most people just don't give a shit. So we need a system that makes them give a shit.
But for that, we must remove the jews, so that we can remove the shitskins, and institute sensible laws again.
Also, check if you have astigmatism with an eye-doc. It makes night driving way worse.
Car I'm currently driving had automatic high beams that switch off as soon as it sees something and dumbasses still flash me to remind me my high beams are on (they're not)
I'm drastically trading down. A rented 2024 merc a250 for an owned 2007 Ford fairmont with none of the funky stuff :( can apparently get led headlamps I can change the colour of bit fucking pointless doing shit to this car because no matter what its still a 4 speed ford.
A 1989 Ford ute on cookie cutter tires lifted 5ft with "fuck off were full" and "such is life" stickers would be the most Australian thing you've ever read.
I drive an old 2008 car, it will outlive all these modern pieces of electronic shit, no dpf, 60mpg+ on a run at 60-70mph, very well maintained oil changes at 5-6k miles and maintained very well 165000 miles on the clock and has zero issues.
im more used to driving V6 sedans, Holden Commodore is Chicken Parma on wheels, you go to a dealer, kick tyres, drive something else, but you already know youre buying the Commo. But america raped us by shutting down holden so now we get chinese shit forced on us.
3.8 V6 Commodore is already going faster before you put your foot down. I6 4lt Falcon you put your foot down, it whines and goes 'yeah ok ill go faster' and does it. Beige fucking Cardigan on wheels.
The A250 is the most fucking fun ive had on the road in years, 2lt turbo 8 speed AWD, its a little fucking spaceship i dont get to drive nice cars often, copped a CLA200 by accident when the motorpool forgot to get me an MG ZS from their dealer a couple of months back, and i get the whole lot back on tax as its purely a business expense. No one is gonna say no to any of that and i just went with it. This ones the last one and its back to a legacy fleet car Fairmont im buying off a mate. Commodore/Falcon have a ton more power than the lower end Mercs but are more than a decade old now and dont get the power down as well. One im getting doesnt even have the 6 speed auto, so im still stuck with a 4, meaning pointless to mod it much. And wrong fucking badge, but oh well.
Honestly its the seat warmers im going to miss the most.
Perhaps i'm getting old, but i hate driving now, there's no pleasure with all these women, niggers and pajeets everywhere that have no fucking clue how to drive.
I hope you enjoy your new to you car, i hate all the modern cars in all honesty and would take an old well maintained vehicle over anything new.

install an air horn and a dashcam and rekindle the joy
I love blasting the shit out of morons with my air horn. Sometimes they try to yell at you and every time their mouth opens its AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I've gotten people really mad with my air horn, and then I record them being mad with my dash cam, it is hilarious. And having a dashcam you can assert your right of way it really pisses them off when they can't get their nigger merges in they get so mad they go behind you and start tailgating. That's when you hit them with the windshield fluid. Dump the whole fucking thing. Windshiled tablets are 1 penny on aliexpress. I bought 300 windshield tablets. Everyone gets a car wash.

My 2014 with 250,000+ still acts fine. If I want to mess with wiring, I could probably make my rear view camera work 100% of the time.
That being said: I will upgrade and use modern technology if I see fit (LED fog lights that were less expensive than new housings and standard halogen bulbs).
Used to get that on an older car I had...previous owner had wired it's 4 headlamp system to have two low and two high on each side, instead of 1 low and two high. I adjusted the one down somewhat - the outer was left at manufacturer level and the inner was down towards the road a bit more.
Idiots would flash or turn on their brights, I'd hit mine and theirs would go immediately off. Morons.
I'd put lights all the way across the front of the car if I was a better mechanical guy and could manufacture some good looking holders.
yep. i reckon c200 i had for about 3 weeks and did way too many k's than i was meant to i think is the best car ive ever driven at night, had a HUD on it as well (little cutout on the dash where theyve installed a tablet to display another 'dashboard' which reflects off the windshield in the middle of the lane in front of you) auto fog lights, auto wipers, auto high beams, was fucking cool, full retractable sunroofs are awesome for getting rid of the stank of one of my clients...
holy shit my job sounds sketchy as fuck sometimes.
Most the ones doing this are boomers. I chalk it up to their inability to see at night. What you can do is look at the line on the shoulder.
So long as you don't look directly into the beam it won't blind you.
What pisses me off is all the Hector's that buy aftermarket led headlights and put those in just to scatter the beam because their refractor isn't made for it.
Then you have all the colors of headlights now. That pale blue one fucking sucks. No me gusta.
I did upgrade the headlights in my trucks to led, but when I did I got the entire headlight assembly, they are bright but I seriously make an attempt not to be the asshole.
Retards will flash me when my standard beams and fog light are on...so some days I leave them on for a couple extra seconds so oncoming asshole knows "these aren't my brights."

NHTSA has since updated the rule. Tried to archive, but it didn't work.

So now when your light goes bad, instead of a $10 bulb replacement, you're looking at anywhere from $500 to over $1k for a fucking headlight replacement. And a fucking lens assembly while you're at it in some cases.

And having a dashcam you can assert your right of way it really pisses them off when they can't get their nigger merges in they get so mad they go behind you and start tailgating. That's when you hit them with the windshield fluid. Dump the whole fucking thing. Windshiled tablets are 1 penny on aliexpress. I bought 300 windshield tablets. Everyone gets a car wash.

Don't forget the Tati workhorse!
I was pretty impressed by the Falcon SV6 that bitch had balls before trannys mental illness was forcefully accepted.

That being said: I will upgrade and use modern technology if I see fit (LED fog lights that were less expensive than new housings and standard halogen bulbs).

Idiots would flash or turn on their brights, I'd hit mine and theirs would go immediately off. Morons.
I'd put lights all the way across the front of the car if I was a better mechanical guy and could manufacture some good looking holders.

So long as you don't look directly into the beam it won't blind you.
What pisses me off is all the Hector's that buy aftermarket led headlights and put those in just to scatter the beam because their refractor isn't made for it.
Then you have all the colors of headlights now. That pale blue one fucking sucks. No me gusta.
I did upgrade the headlights in my trucks to led, but when I did I got the entire headlight assembly, they are bright but I seriously make an attempt not to be the asshole.

Nobody says that LEDs should be pointed the same way as the Xenon bulbs...which is lower than the standard halogen.

Doesn't work the same with LED. So often times from any angle it just blinds the fuck out of you.

Especially the Carolina lean fucktards that blind you as they drive behind you.
I just readjust my side mirror and blind them with their own headlights.
Small victories.
