| Description of the problem | Bright led headlights isn't the issue just with my prius prime but with almost all new vehicles on the road that i presume have led lights. The lights are so bright that it bothers the driver of the oncoming vehicle or traffic. I face that issue while driving and can imagine the same with the driver of the oncoming vehicle. There are instances when drivers flash their headlights asking to use low-beam while i am already using the low-beam light setting. Last night 3/6/2018, an irritated drivers just brushed off my car on a county road thinking that i am not responding to his flashing light signal or ask to use low-beam on my car. I see excessive bright lights on newer cars as a safety issue while driving. |
