Blinded by the Light? 90% of Drivers Say LED Headlights Are Just Too Much

Experts suggest that not all LED lights are the problem. Poor alignment or aftermarket modifications often result in excessive brightness aimed directly at other drivers. Vehicle height also plays a role—SUVs and trucks tend to shine lights directly into lower vehicles’ windshields.

Some safety advocates are now calling for updated regulations to address the issue. Ideas include stricter headlight alignment standards, brightness limits, and improved testing during vehicle inspections.

Until clearer guidelines emerge, drivers are urged to be mindful of headlight upgrades and ensure proper aiming. Technology should help—not hinder—road safety.

The challenge remains: balancing innovation with visibility and comfort for everyone on the road.
