Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This complaint is a general complaint about the new type of headlights that shine a piercing blue color. When vehicles with this new type of headlight approach, it interferes with night driving vision. I can tolerate one or two of these type headlights coming at me at night, but if someday there are dozens of them in oncoming traffic it will not be safe to drive. Vision will be impaired. Such headlights need to be toned down. They are much too bright. Thank you.”
