LED headlights

Time to open the can of worms.

What's peoples thoughts on how much some of these LED headlights are in my opinion downright dangerous 

Are they just not correctly adjusted or simply that's how they are.

I detest driving at night now as some are just beyond bright and leave you blinded be it from a car behind or coming toward you

They just don’t focus light in projector lens set ups or light assemblies not designed for led . The LS 600 has LED headlights and they are great - but they are motorised in an array and each headlight cost £5000 .

in fog lights they cause more vision problems than they improve !

I'm only on about modern cars that come with LED's not anyone replacing halogens for LED's.

Quite a lot are fine on various makes and models but some as I said are ridiculous

Depends what you're driving, it's not so bad in my 4x4 but in the Supra they're ridiculous and even blind me through the wing mirrors. I think they're not designed with low cars in mind.

Teslas have to be the worst for it.

Personally I think the old yellow halogens were just fine, I reckon visibility was actually better back then because everyone was on a level playing field and you weren't being blinded by oncoming cars.
