Yup. Many of you dismiss it as old age, but headlight technology was static for decades, now there are awful after-market pop-ins that are so cool tinted I've thought they were law enforcement blue lights.Originally Posted by Old Ryder
Seriously, the thing that kills me now is the new "Style" for 4WD pickups--you raise the front and lower the rear and that always puts the light beam burning a hole in my retina.
For the better part of a century you'd go buy a sealed glass headlight and maybe you'd have a halogen option. Now it looks like a string of Christmas lights dragging down the highway at night. Tint and output used to be fairly consistent and you could be cited for misaligned or improper lighting. It's "anything goes" nowadays.
Reflectors are carefully designed for the bulb or emitter they couple with, I see folks with god-only-knows in their headlights and dream of days gone by.
So like the doc said, there's probably nothing wrong with your eyes.
Welcome to the new normal.
