Consumer Description

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CAR I AM DRIVING, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW ELSE TO SHARE THIS CONCERN. THE NEW HEADLIGHTS IN CARS ARE TOO BRIGHT. THEY HURT A PERSON'S EYES. EVEN PEOPLE WHO AREN'T SENSITIVE TO LIGHT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO LOOK AWAY FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE SIMPLY TOO BRIGHT. NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ONCOMING TRAFFIC SEEMS SILLY. DRIVERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE ONCOMING CAR IS DOING, NOT BE BLINDED BY THE LIGHT AND FORCED TO LOOK AWAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO MANY MORE ACCIDENTS FROM SOMETHING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT. THESE LIGHTS SHOULD BE BANNED AND REMOVED FROM THE MARKET. *TR
