Since I purchased my Subaru Forester new in 2020, people regularly flash their high beams at me at night when my low beams are on, because they think I have my high beams on. I also flash my high beams at cars when I think they have their high beams on then they do the same, to show me they have their low beams on. It needs to be illegal for manufacturers of cars and/or headlights to manufacture low beams with these dangerous settings. I didn’t know I could file a complaint with this department until a week ago otherwise I would have done it in 2020
LED ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS. I HAVE MANY DRIVERS FLASHING THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME WHEN DRIVING ON LOW BEAM SETTING WITH FOG LIGHTS OFF. NEW CARS WITH LED HEADLIGHTS UNLESS ON FLAT ROADS CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS IN PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE EYES DURING HOURS OF DARKNESS. ANYTIME THESE VEHICLES ARE ON A GRADE, THE BEAM AND COLOR OF THE LIGHT IS VERY INTENSE. WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT ADJUSTED CORRECTLY, SAY AFTER SOMEONE ALTERS A VEHICLE (LIFT, LOWER,ETC) THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY BLINDING. I KNOW THERE ARE MANY STUDIES THAT SHOW THE WHITER/BLUE COLOR ON THE SPECTRUM, THAT HUMAN EYES ARE NOT MEANT TO ADAPT. EXAMPLE, BLUE LCD DISPLAYS ON APPLIANCES ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THAN RED OR GREEN. YES THE LIGHTS ON MY WIFE'S SUBARU MAKES IT EASIER TO SEE FOR US, HOWEVER IT IS BAD FOR EVERYONE ELSE. IT IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO SEE DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS IN...
WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION AND THE GEAR SHIFTER IS MOVED INTO EITHER THE REVERSE OR DRIVE POSITION THE SHIFTER SEEMS TO ACTIVATE THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS TO LIGHT UP AND STAY ON. THIS ACTION IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THIS OCCURS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ETC.
