“My complaint is the new xenon headlights on automobiles. The are so bright that I am continually blinded by oncoming vehicles having them. There is really no need for such overly bright headlights, especially considering the hazard they pose to oncoming traffic. There must be something that can be done to minimize the effect of these lights.”
