Description of the problem	You really need to reign in the new headlights and how bright they are. They might be ok in flat places, but i'm hilly areas, when an oncoming car is at a higher level, it's like getting high beamed in the face. It happens all the time here in new hampshire. It's going to get someone killed. Also, i don't know if new card have automatically changing high and low beams, but i have noticed that people are becoming very last in turning down there lights when approaching me. It's crossed my mind that it's probably a new automatic system that doesn't work very well. But the new headlights that are really bright down low, that is huge safety risk. At the right spots in the road, it's absolutely blinding. Cars with the older style lights, no problem. New ones, but problem.
