Talked to a 2016 chevy pickup owner yesterday. His LED headlamps are a sealed pod and it is $600 to replace ONE. Only $200 for the front turn signals.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.

Off road lights belong off road.I'm all for improved technology, and it might not have been too bad if it was just the headlights, but this cat had some sort of light bar across the front of his vehicle. The front of his ride was stupid bright. The picture doesn't come close to doing it justice.

Maybe folks are putting light bars on to "fight back" at the obnoxious blinding bright stock low beams of today?
Being blinded by oncoming lights is just that. It doesn't matter whether it is supposedly the low beams or not. No one should be expected to drive when they cannot see the road.
One trick to try to convince folks you're not running on brights is to run your driving lights as well. At least on the vehicles I've driven, hitting the brights disables the driving lights, and it's fairly easy to figure out on oncoming traffic. Only rarely have I had to let someone know I wasn't on brights this way. I'm sure they appreciated getting my actual brights right in their faces.
And I thought sure there was state law of some kind limiting the number of lights and height of lights, etc. on the front of the vehicle that summed up to "keep offroad lights OFF when you're on the road" kind of thing??? Or is that more like what you'd hear in a LGS about the lifetime LTCH going away soon?
Vehicle codes are pretty specific but the days of pulling people over and checking bumper heights etc are probably long gone except in small town America where the local gendarmerie have nothing better to do. Hell the practice of pouring coal violates several federal codes and nothing seems to be done about that!
Not all new cars come with properly aimed lights. The lights on my wife's Highlander seemed to be aimed at the stars when we got it, we were getting flashed all the time. Several turns down and all is well. Got online for giggles and the highlander forum had a lot of the same complaint.
The Law has been overwhelmed by stupid laws. Doesn't anyone remember the second Robocop movie?We are all feeling the painful birthing of a lawless society......
