Keep being flashed!
Discussion
For the last couple of days I have been using a car with active lights, so essentially they are always on main beam until they see an oncoming car and adjust the LED pattern so as not to dazzle them. The problem is that they do this at the last minute and so although they don’t dazzle the oncoming car, people think they will be and keep flashing their headlights. I have checked the manual and it refers to the lights being on at the maximum brightness permitted by law. Has anyone else had this?!
I think people flash at LED headlights anyway as they see them as very bright. I warned daughter about it as her SEAT Ateca has them, but they're not dynamic. Sure enough she gets flashed a lot. In fact SEAT have just issued a recall to drop the NS low beam, although it doesn't seem obviously high to me.

Remember getting my old e92 with led lights. Got flashed a lot on normal beam. So used to put my full beams on to dazzle them even more people used to go sick
E92 with LED headlights? Intentionally using fullbeam to dazzle them will wind people up nicely, and rightly so!MikeGoodwin said:

My old work place I had a scania HGV which have bright lights if you hit them at the right angle coming the other way, used to get people putting their full beams on thinking mine were, untill I actually put my full beams on with top bar spotlights the lot and the whole world turned into a white blaze of skin melting light! They soon turned their beams off... G13NVL said:
How is letting someone know that’s blinding you with full beam, that you haven’t got your full beam on by flashing back so you can both continue on your way without being blinded, being a bellend?
Because if your headlights were adjusted right, nobody would be blinded and nobody will flash you.Had a car coming the other way with the drivers dipped beam way too high, looked like full beams were on so did one quick flash, he stuck his full beams on in response. I changed a headlight bulb a couple of weeks back and realised it wasnt aligned properly so stopped and re aligned it, wasn't hard to do and didnt dazzle anyone.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
