X-rays are invisible though... pulsar maybe.
gwenniechan
Especially when the local cops have them and now you can't see where the road markings are and then they pull you over because of them.
UseTheSource
I like yellow lights
hattiesburglar
They’re called HID, but same thing.
severous96
I got a rock setting in my change holder just for that.
QuackQuackPontiac
AutoFox
The solution is trunk-mounted studio lights.
LionFromTheNorth
My bike came with LEDs, so I get flashed a lot by people who think I have my mainbeam on. I have to flash back to let them know I'm not
Deliberately dazzling them!
Quiveren
I just viciously drive the minimum so they get out from behind me. Fuck your lights.
gyngersnapp
I flip them off. Every single one. Don't care if they can't see me it just makes me feel better. Though with the lights they probably can.
TalkingSnake
We need light settings for driving in a lit up city.
anyofmany
but when the ambient light is stronger the beams are less blinding- so it would not help at all

GothKirby
This is even worse for me since I have astigmatism, if I don’t have my glasses on (they’re a very weak prescription but have glare coating),
and I head towards a car with high beam LEDs in the dark I fully cannot see a thing.
AndrewCase
I live in Alaska, and flashing you high beams is a gamble. Sometimes they turn theirs off, sometimes they hit you with a million lumens.
Many Alaskans have what we call “moose lights” or light bars to rival police spot lights. Some have multiple. A 1000 lb deer is no joke.
Snarklepuff
By federal law, there is supposed to be an upper limit on luminosity of headlights. I don't believe it is being enforced.
dinosaurakadinosaur
next it will be fucking laserpointers pointed at our eyes
F234K
I get highbeamed all the time and mine are stock. I don't have a lift or anything. I've had the dealership adjust them. People are dicks.
So now I just use my light bar if they flash me when I have lows on
demosteness
Do you americans have some kind of mandatory technical inspection of your vehicles? Here in Spain we can’t do whatever we want with our car.
dav8388
Some states have vehicle inspections, but most don't.
Donku83
As someone where wears glasses, windshield is practically a giant lightbulb when I get hit with brights in the rain.
gatewater
Fun fact: If you can count how many lights a car has on the front of it their brights are not on.
VeryRealGirlAndNotRussianBot
What's more funnier is when one of these cars are behind you and it lights the road infront of you better than what your car can do.
Shitheid
In my experience they usually start tailgating you because going the speed limit in an area you usually see cops isn’t good enough
PeterPanGuineaPig
Now I'm driving in the shadow of my own car while my right and left are lit up like daylight.
BeesKneesJohanson
I like how much I can see at night with mine, I do feel guilty though if there’s a light bump and my headlights flash onto oncoming cars.
Hammertulski
Driving and doing light bumps is dangerous and can result in a ticket or worse. Drive safe, party friends! #themoreyouknow
EricDerRote
Back in my old garage, there was this lady who would force me to back up even if i was in a narrow part. Once she engaged her brights 1/2
my (back then) new xenon brights said NO. It was a good day.
ArmedSharks
I don’t mind LEDs, I do mind however when they don’t have proper housing.
RobJenkins
Yup, a lighthouse on the remote coast or some small uninhabited island is preferred
EricPisch
Wait to see some Audi laser headlights 100 times brighter than LEDs
Sumdumguy42
They work very well. Because they are aligned, unlike the aftermarket installation by idiots with more money than brain.
Weblord
But they still can't make the indicators work.
Funkapuss
They're actually very good. They throw a black spot at other vehicles and daylight at everythin else
NightlyReaper
Unlike our older lights which only boiled the retinas of oncoming drivers, our new LASER HEADLAMPS will sear the Audi logo into their skull!
Ballzman365
The INSIDE of the BACK of their skulls...
DatTicTacDikDoe
You mean the ones that automatically dim their brightness in the direction of oncoming traffic?
When they work properly
looseasamoose
In the same category - cyclists with uber bright lights which are aimed terribly because there's no regulation. Worst if they have
A head mounted sun and god forbid they look at you.
People have no concept of night vision. Turn down the spotlight, use the ambient light and you can see far far far more than just the patch
Directly in front of you
funnyinthehead
need a mirrored spoiler which rotates to vertical at the flick of a switch
WolfWings
No reason you can't just have a steeply curved rear spoiler, chrome the underside of it, no flipping needed. :)
I once mounted a 7 million candlepower sealed beam aircraft landing light facing backwards in my hatchback. But one time turned it on for..
..an SUV that was blinding me in my mirror. Then he turned on his blue lights. I don’t do that anymore.
DownVoteVerifier
If you are getting blind from the rear view just flick your middle mirrors angle
That's distracting, though. I did it once, spilled my coffee and almost cut myself shaving
PCskele
I used to drive in the country at nights and would keep sunglasses handy to throw them on when a pickup with a lift kit would drive by
Mustakraken
Doesn't help when you're doing like 10 over the speed limit and lifty trucky man still tailgates.
olson23409
Brake check
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
That's supposed to be what the little tab on your rear view mirror is for, but it doesn't adjust the side mirrors too so it's pointless
iReleaseEndorphins
I do this as well when some trucks or cars with asshole lights come at me. Hate having to drive at night now days.
SageOfDepth
You wear your sunglasses at night, hey?
“Night driving without headlights, wearing sunglasses too”...

Polarized glasses are a life-saver during long night drives
Only when he’s got a full tank of gas and need to drive 106 miles to Chicago.
MrSaturday
Half a tank, but your on the right track.

Ok, I'm an idiot.
MightyMorphinePowerRangerz
I’ve got those lights. The other night I saw the guy across from me at a stop light had broccoli in his teeth. Think I like seeing that?
xo101
May I offer you a mind wipe in these trying times?
BubblesTheFish
How much and how far back can it go?
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Did you tell him or were you one of those assholes that just lets a person walk around with food stuck in their teeth?
TheDreadPirateJayneCobb
Like it or not, you deserve it
It’s true, it’s all true. I feel tremendous shame and only my massaging Napa leather drivers seat can make me feel better.
JustStopTalking
What are you driving ?
Just kidding, I ain’t got none of that shit lol.
DankVoodoo
That was entertaining. Well done.
damnusernames
I like how it took people THIS long to realise you were joking, and not at the, ‘I could see Broccoli in his teeth’ part...
scruffenheim
I took that as fun exaggeration
