    your premise that the cutoff works well enough is incorrect

    source: my fucking life

    I’m blinded by “properly aimed” stock LEDs all the fucking time. roads aren’t flat. and they’re bumpy. hills exist. different elevations exist.

    and your point about multibeam LEDs just proves my point more because it completely ignores non-vehicles

      And improperly adjusted halogens will blind you even on flat terrain. And the drivers are more likely to keep their high beams on for much longer before switching over. Same with burnt out HIDs, once the 20 year old projectors have burnt out, the low beams are so shit that people will just drive with high beams into oncoming traffic. Whereas people with actually good lights can turn off their high beams when there’s oncoming traffic.
