How LED lights were ever allowed on cars amazes me to this day.
Feckers never turn them off when they’re parked / pulled over either even when they’re on a bit of a slope
Some of the new busses, the green and yellow ones would blind you coming towards you.
Yes!!! How the fuck are they legal?? Literally can’t see against or in front of them
I rarely drive after dark but curse the glare of doom when I do. If anyone at the Dept of Transport or Garda are reading one thing you might investigate is if people are dying due to becoming disoriented or blinded on country roads by these lights
What about the trucks that have a Christmas tree’s worth of lights on the front? What’s with that anyway? Do they think it looks good or something?
It’s ridiculous, cars with leds fitted from factory are fine. The ones that are retrofitted are the issue
Those cunts with a big line of them across the front of the ford or Hilux pickups are small dicked wankers
Coming from Belfast last weekend, they were everywhere. Nearly ended up in the ditch once of twice
I feel your pain. I drive a car which is quite low to the ground, so the majority of cars’ headlights beam down towards my side mirrors and in my rear-view mirror as well. With an increasing number of ‘crossovers’ and SUVs on the roads too, makes it even worse.
I stick a very strong flashlight/lamp in the glove box. If I’m in the passenger seat at that time and some LED cunt comes head on in the other lane then I just shine the lamp in their car to blind them back.
Alternatively, I’ll just whack the full beams on.
I just got a new Seat Ateca through work with these headlights, it’s the first car with LED’s I have driven, what I didn’t realise is that a lot of the newer cars have self leveling head lights. I can’t dip them myself, they automatically go up and down based on god knows what but I presume distance to the vehicle ahead of you as the car tracks that.
So many people were flashing me when I had my dipped lights on, so I contacted the dealer and I have to bring it in to have them manually adjust the headlight max height.
I was driving on a unfamiliar country road last year and a suv with led headlights was up my arse for a good bit
the inside of my car was lit up like a ufo abduction video
Similarly but different, if you’re stuck in traffic the brake lights in a lot of cars can be blinding too.
I let someone with those lights out, and they flashed me in gratitude. Appreciate it, but between that and the astigmatism, I was seeing stars afterwards. You can see into the future with those fuckers.
Unfortunately they are legal, but heard talk of potential banning certain types like the one above.
For the time being night time driving glasses will help reduce the glare.
Is that a star being born?
Cuntish yokes
It’s so painful. some real Muppets out there
There is a difference in LED lights and those LED lights, I have replacement LED bulbs adjusted using the thing below the dash to not blind anyone. Recommend these because your high beams will leave someone seeing stars.
These light motion that keep the high beams on and “split” the beams should be illegal and removed from every car in or coming into the country. And I’d be happy for my tax money to be used to get them off the road once and for all.
Hate them so much. I thought it was just me being sensitive.
You need to move wing mirrors out. The driver shouldn’t be able to see the side of the car. By doing that it allows you to see further into your blind spot, and has the benefit of reducing the amount of light reflected back into your eyes.

Tin foil in the back window ?
LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE BEHIND YOU
Scum bag. I hope their ex puts sugar in the tank.
Moan sub for moaners
Rear-facing UVC spotlights.
You blind me.
I blind you.

Led heads
I don’t understand how they can pass the NCT. They always fail me for alignment even if I bring the car to be checked the day before the test
This is why I don’t drive at night, and god forbid if they don’t dim their lights…..((smh))
