Like everything else, light technology has vastly improved. I bought a new truck last month, and I have had several people flash their brights at me. I didn't have my brights on.
Lots of problems around here is people with trucks loading bed and causing headlights to aim higher and blinding oncoming drivers. Not really much you can do about it.

This guy is the problem.
The problem I personally have is the blue hue HID bulbs, something about them causes SERIOUS havoc with my astigmatism.
I have some form of night blindness that warps headlights in the dark (probably my astigmatism), but those blueish HID bulbs destroy my eyes even when I'm wearing my glasses.
I hate those blue lights too. Years ago, they switched to blue lights (or blue and red) for police cars because they determined that there were too many other red lights on vehicles, signs, etc., and they wanted to make sure that the police lights stood out. Shortly after that it seemed like those blue headlights started getting popular.

I put a set of KC roads lamps on the magic bus. We only use them when driving unlit country roads or seriously dark areas and no oncoming traffic. They are on a dedicated switch so we have to want to use them.
Well, if DOT / NHTSA would get serious about self-leveling headlamps like Europe is...
And that scenario accounts for .01%.
A friend drove up, got out, and I said, "Your left headlight is way high."
"Yeah, it was like that when I bought it a year ago, my husband hasn't taken it to the shop yet."
It took all my effort to keep my mouth shut. Fortunately, I've never met her husband, so he hasn't gotten a dope slap for being so incompetent.
