Here is the exact lights I used: amzn.to/4aWMmX0 I was really surprised by these comments. Not to make light of your issues. I just didn’t realize this was a common complaint. Maybe because my truck sets higher? Maybe different people just have different light sensitivity? I never feel blinded by oncoming headlights. Over 60% of new cars sold have LED headlights. I’m just upgrading to the industry standard.
I never had trouble seeing at night before these LED headlights came out. Now I just avoid all night driving. To bad for business. I don't need to risk my life because I can't see the road. No more stopping for the beer or going out to dinner or a movie. Works for me. So much more money in my pocket to do other things during the day
They need to make a headlight that when on dim is the more tolerable brightness and when on high has the more bright light that you are looking for. I like the extra light but also hate meeting vehicles at night with these lights.
I have literally never experienced this when driving. Maybe because my truck sets higher? I never feel blinded by somebodies headlights Almost all new cars have LED headlights now
@@RockhillfarmYT older people have a hard time with the brighter lights. Old days we had off white headlights that were not to bright. Aloft of new cars come with those brighter whiter lights.
With all the new vehicles with these stupid bright lights I can drive my old pickup around with the high beams on and nobody even notices, that's how bright those new lights are, people think the high beams are low beams on my old Ranger. Not to mention it only costs about $15 to replace a bulb in my old truck, compared to a few thousand dollars to replace those LED systems, which aren't bulbs, you have to replace the whole assembly on that side of the vehicle when it burns out. All those fancy daytime LED running light shapes that all these car makers use, yep once those burn out you are replacing not only that part but that whole light assembly on that side of the vehicle. I'll stick with the $15 bulbs LOL.
I prefer that the drivers coming toward me have the best vision possible. Those bright lights are blinding for the oncoming drivers. Unless things have changed in the last year, LED headlights are still not NTSA approved.
TBH I can't see why people complain about the brighter lights so much, personally I think its some sort of envy. As for the complaining drivers - every time you pass a transport in the snow you lose visibility for several seconds.. how you do stay on the road without an accident every time? Why are city drivers not petitioning the falling of snow, or transports driving in snowy conditions?

@@RockhillfarmYT Same for me whether I am in my truck or in my car... I've always had a light sensitivity when driving at night... so I am just used to looking at the edge of the road if the oncoming lights bother me.

Crazy your wife's Durango has halogen bulbs. My wife wrecked her 22 challenger she's ok. She topped a hill, and a lady in a suv was stopped in her lane and had nowhere to go. Anyway, I just got her a used 21 Durango gt, and I love how bright the led headlights are. They have a sharp light cut-off that's not blinding other drivers. Not to mention, I really like this Durango.
As long as the housing is designed for the type of light, and they are properly aimed, they shouldn’t be blinding oncoming traffic. I’m sure what a lot of people in the comments complaining about are improperly aimed lights or HID/LED bulbs in an inappropriate housing where the bright light goes everywhere

The standard for driving at night in deer territory or anywhere one can expect animals I believe we’re supposed to reduce our speed. There is always fog lamps for extra visibility. I believe the idea is that could still be trying to hammer on the brakes really hard even with super bright lights seeing a deer at the last second if they dart out of the bush. The larger tow trucks, semis some have super duty bumpers, welded on .
Much brighter much much brighter could be good could be bad depends on the situation I would love to see how the blinkers work with them lights thanks for sharing
I absolutely HATE meeting a vehicle with these type headlights at night. How safe do you feel knowing you're meeting a car at night with the driver holding their hand in front of their face blocking you're headlights?
Howdy Brock! That was the first thing I upgraded on my '17 F450... the headlights. I think the Lariat package and above came with factory LEDs but not my base model lol. To say the OEM halogen headlights were horrible is an understatement. Heck my 2014 Fusion had better headlights and I could see farther with it than the 450. And the 450 has 4 headlights! Flippin ridiculous... I will say I didn't just buy off the shelf generic LEDs at Walmart or something... these were specifically designed for use in my model, to take advantage of the existing reflectors. They looked exactly like the OEM bulbs. And yup... people flash me all the time. But they do in my Fusion as well. And it has halogen OEM bulbs. We are lousy with white tails here... I see them dang near every night along the roads. Heck when I get my brush guard I might even add some more LED strips... lol! Thanks for sharing 🤠
Respectfully, you’d be better off buying headlights from Morimoto. They’re DOT approved and offer better light dispersion than the headlights in your video. Diode Dynamics for fog lights, also DOT approved.
Not everyone enjoys being blinded while driving at night. Even using the trick of looking at the edge of the road doesn’t work when driving towards these fuckers.
I have literally never experienced this when driving. Maybe because my truck sets higher? I never feel blinded by somebodies headlights Almost all new cars have LED headlights now
They're probably not adjustable anymore as its a light assembly, not just a bulb/fixture anymore....haven't looked at a new car to really see if they have the up/down and left/right adjustment screws anymore....probably not, installed at the factory and that's how they are...they're ridiculously too bright even on dim, and should be illegal for on-road use. Might be ok on a trail but shouldn't be allowed on public roads.
This has been an eye-opening experience for me reading these comments. I’ve never felt like a set of headlights from oncoming. Traffic were bright enough to affect my visibility. Never would’ve given a thought to someone not thinking these were a good idea.
@@RockhillfarmYTyes but the factory LED lights are DOT approved, are the AUX beam light s DOT approved? I spent a ton of money finding DOT approved LED lights.
Ya know Brock, any good ol boy will tell you that headlights like that are one of the best things you can do to increase your safety driving late at nite in a rural area. I got a pair of those Auxbeam in 2 different vehicles and they work great. It's sad how sheltered city drivers are, and the glaring rural/city divide that you start to see headlines like "Thousands of drivers sign petition calling for ban on 'blinding' vehicle headlights". Get prepared for a long list of crybabies in the comment section bud. Thanks for the video!

The key is that they function correctly, and are aimed properly.
Used to love driving at night. looking into These new lights make it no fun. JMHO

Those bright lights are a killer for on coming traffic.
Opposing traffic really hate those brighter lights. Need to wear sunglasses at night. 🕶

Those lights are great they blind every car coming at you so they can’t see. Especially old people. You will be able to see while others can’t. Nice.

Brighter lights are great as long as they are adjusted properly as to not blind oncoming traffic on low beam.

LED Headlights that bright are illegal in some states.
Should be illegal everywhere...people think that LED stuff is so great, but all it does is blind oncoming drivers.
When is too bright unsafe??
Apparently, only after the person running with those overly bright LED's gets ran over by the oncoming vehicle they blinded with those stupid lights.
Good quick review!
I would prefer to have the upgraded lights, as long as they are aimed properly. Lots of deer and hogs around here, and cattle get out all the time.
I absolutely HATE meeting a vehicle with these type headlights at night. How safe do you feel knowing you're meeting a car at night with the driver holding their hand in front of their face blocking you're headlights?
Your an fkn idiot if you cover your face while driving.
DIELECTRIC GREASE for those electronic fittings
need to change flasher relay to a led type or ad a resistor to change load so it will flash properly

Yes. I assume almost all the headlights that you can buy are, but these say it on the box.
@@RockhillfarmYT AuxBeam sell off road only headlights as well. Many brands of LED lights are NOT dot approved.
@frijoli9579 I didn’t know that, but I did see that these are dot approved

I don't have a problem with LED headlights as long as they are aimed properly. Most are not. No one seems to adjust their headlights.

When you replace the Head lights you are adjust angle to down so don't blind people
Hense the reason I do not drive after dark. Headlights are way to bright....Dangerous......
