It's not just you, Lynn. I recently drove 3,400 miles R/T to FL and back and the headlights get worse every year. The newer vehicles with the LED lights that don't diffuse are a white laser hitting the eyes. The left side mirror becomes useless too as those lights blind a person just as bad when they are behind. I have that mirror pointed down and out away from the car most of the time. Damn near need sunglasses to drive at night in this country anymore.

With blind side hangers that want to stay right in that location next to me, I can sometimes get it angled just right to reflect back in their eyes. I can tell when I hit that spot, as they usually speed up quickly...
