Description of the problem	Hello, i often follow tesla model 3 cars in dense traffic, and stop behind them at red lights. I have to say, their tail lights (more exactly, brake lights in the center of tail light) are extremely bright while being very small. They are almost as bright as lasers. When it's dark, looking at them even with peripheral vision is painful, i have to look to the side to avoid being blinded. I am sure looking at these lights is dangerous to my vision. Instead of these very small and very bright lights, tesla should have used bigger lights with smaller intensity (emitted power per square inch). I am attaching a stock picture of model 3's tail lights. Unfortunately, a camera could not capture the very high intensity of the light.
