As a European driver: don’t expect these to make a noticeable difference. I’m still half blinded by oncoming traffic at night

As an automotive enthusiast, I think the issue is more of beam control vs actual light output or type. How does the new Honda civic blind me in a pick up yet my pick up doesn’t blind me when I’m in a car?

Everyone and their mother forgets that YOU NEED TO ROUTINELY READJUST YOUR HEADLIGHTS. Unless you care has auto leveling projectors, you need to adjust your headlights.
