headlights on new cars to bright or is it me?
I see eye dr every year, mid 60's, 20/20 with bi-focles for close up stuff. Dr says my eyes OK. I notice that newer cars headlights are supper bright. Just me or anybody else notice this?

Yes, the new headlight technology has made headlights much brighter than the ever were and that's a good thing.
The bad thing is a lot of people put on poorly engineered aftermarket headlights (brighter) but are not aimed properly. Others simply add LED bulbs into their halogen fixtures. They are not designed the same way and, especially if not realigned for the new bulb (and I suspect most are not) the result is blinding light in the eyes of oncoming traffic.
This. It's the people buying aftermarket "improved" lamps that are the ones causing the worst glare. I for one would welcome the return of mandatory vehicle inspections in my home state IF they would force the removal of all those non DOT compliant lights.
