Tired of getting my retinas fried with no way to retaliate.
What's the deal with the super bright LED headlight bulbs? Any brand better that the rest? |

I have brights battles with the same idiot daily. Leaves his brights on and has two additional lights installed near the grill not properly aimed.
I turned my brights on for him all the time. He now has a hand held spot light he lights me up with. Nuclear powered laser death headlights sound like the right fix for me. |

You should put a roll bar on your pickup and put an off-road light bar full of those things on it.

Might I recommend VisonX 6.7" Light Canons? Not cheap but 50 watts and about a miles' illumination.
The shape of your headlights likely isn't conducive to death lasers, so think outside their box. |

This will ensure that your headlights are blinding and “flood” out blinding every one around. I would also add high wattage LED spots vs a flood beam. That way when some asshole cuts you off you can flip the spots on and blind the person even if they are 100+ yards in front of you. |

In Alaska along the arm the railroad is about 50' lower than the Seward Highway. I was driving home the RR engine light was blinding, I turned my Lightforce 170mm lights on, the RR engine turned his light down from high beam to low.
LightForce Striker 170mm lights will give you all the light you need. I ended up putting the split beam lens covers on mine, I'll called them my moose detectors, I could see moose before them get up on the road with them. |

Your average dipshit doesn't know, and/or care if they burn retinas or not. But I agree op it sucks |

Quoted: A few weeks ago, I had an asshat behind me with one of those lightbars....it was so ridiculously bright I could completely turn off my headlights and still see the road ahead of me.

I've had my glasses darken at 6:00AM the oncoming headlights were so bright. |

From my experience most of the time its some redneck who jacked his truck up 6 inches, put the brightest LED headlights in and was too ignorant to realize that now the headlight alignment is all off and he is blinding everyone he comes across.
Yes I hate those guys and I am totally with the OP, do it! Do it for us! Is that the sun in the middle of the night? No its OP unleashing a portable sun on those dumb bitches. I salute you OP! |

Not my style, but I do like lifted trucks without those stupid wheels that stick out 3ft. |

Buy you a pair or more of Rigid hyper spots. Mount them up high.

In the 70's, I ran "air-craft landing lights" front and rear. I could throw them on for a second and people would dim there lights in front or behind me. You could see animals 300 Y away.This was on a semi-truck.

Tagged for my own vendetta/vengeance & retribution vs the posh people with LEDs headlights.
But they have to fit a 2009 Camry. I was given a flashlight that’s brighter than my Camry headlights & contemplate duct tape. |

It's really bad out here because there are no lights out in the country, so when an idiot with insane lights comes along you can't see at all.
We almost got into an accident last night because we couldn't see so I slowed way down, but still went into his lane a little bit. Why don't people understand that if their lights aren't aimed right then the 2-ton missile coming at them can't see? Idiots. I have really expensive lights in our vehicles, but they're aimed right so we never get flashed by other drivers. |
