“This a complaint about over bright headlights. When certain autos are passing me with oncoming traffic I find certain headlamps to be actually dangerously bright and angled directly at my height ( I am 5 10 ) in my mazda 6 station wagon (2005). My auto is of standard height yet the headlamps on the Audi, bmw and other suvs are not angled down and blind me at night. When they come up behind me , they are overbright in my rear view mirror, and especially in the drivers outside mirror (which I can't change to night mode). Many many people I have spoken to are experiencing this same problem. …”
