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?

As a person being in my very very very late 50's :R ....so late, that the BIG number is just around the corner. Bright headlights do bother me.
I bought a new 2002 ML500 SUV (at the time) when the xenon headlights were first coming out. I was flashed quite often and took the car back to the dealer. My headlights were out of aim and once fixed, I never had the flashing problem again.
I, too, will flash people with 'over-bright' headlights. I feel they need to know that they are blinding oncoming traffic. If someone has their brights on, I will flash my brights and if they don't turn them off, I leave mine on too. Many times, they will turn theirs off.
I don't know if it's just human nature but when people have their brights on (and won't turn the off), I can't help but naturally want to stare at them. I have trained myself to focus on the right fog line until they pass.
About a year ago, I sold my old '64 car that I had for almost 19 yrs. It had the dual sealed beam headlights. I think I could have seen better with a flashlight...LOL!
