I see your bright LED headlight post, and I respond with matching LEDs, one sanded down a bit to diffuse the light.
(lemmy.world)
The top one is diffused, bottom one untouched and only shining forward like a laser.
This is obviously no special flashlight, but rather a simple example of how to fix/address the obvious problems with blinding LED headlights mentioned in this post..
The newer cars that I've owned all had a means to adjust the headlight angle from within the car itself. I suspect that many drivers aren't aware of this. I was told that the adjustment is because if you have a bunch of stuff in your trunk, it can cause your headlights to be angled up higher than they otherwise would be.
However, I am now recalling that when I moved home recently, and almost certainly should have used this adjustment wheel, it didn't occur to me to do so. I suspect that drivers who do have the means to adjust it either don't know about it, or they forget
I find myself just recently learning that these newer vehicles actually do have headlight angle adjustments, but they damn sure don't look like it with these very custom design and engineered assemblies.
Sigh, if only modern vehicles in the USA weren't 7 to 8 feet tall for no good reason, with the headlights about 4 or 5 feet or so off the ground.. ☹️
