12/4/2022	“I live on an island where there are no city lights and I am literally blinded by oncoming cars that have new headlights they are a death trap”
12/3/2022	“Yes it is..i see some led lights that aren’t bad at all so i know they can be done right but most are ridiculously bright and move with the road on top of that. Not mad at the moving but when they do its usually right in my mirrors if they’re behind me. I literally had to stop in the middle of the road once to motion a car around me cause i was completely blind. If you have the really bright led headlights and see me coming all i gotta say is good luck”
12/3/2022	“Yes cause they move as well so they not only hit every mirror and blind me they literally light up the entire inside of my car. I mean i can see their lights outshining mine in front of me and im the one ahead of them. Ive seen leds that are actually built correctly and they’re not bad but most are ridiculous. I came here looking for sumn to sign to get em banned cause i just had to stop in the middle of the road and motion the car behind me around it was so bad. Like i mentioned above if anyone has those really bright ones and see me comin Good Luck is all I gotta say”
12/3/2022	“Yes and now they’re causing road rage…makes me wanna bright light everyone i see coming but that wouldn’t solve the problem”
12/3/2022	“Yes ban em…ive seen some that aren’t bad so i know they can be built correctly but most are ridiculous and we’ve dealt with this long enough and im over it”
12/3/2022	“Lets ban em…im gonna start fussing about em every website, every newsletter or wherever i see or hear about em im gonna fuss about em cause i just about wrecked on the way home just now which is why im here releasing all my anger on every comment i see”
12/3/2022	“Yea cant believe im gonna have to pull a Corey Hart just to drive now”
12/3/2022	“Yea and they even have the nerve to ride your bumper on top of the ridiculous lights. The lights move as well and usually right in every mirror of my car. I literally just had to stop in the middle of the road a few min ago to motion the truck behind me around cause i was blind and yes i was boiling mad but i let it go so im on here releasing my anger if anyone has those really bright ones and see me coming all i gotta say is good luck cause im not giving an inch anymore”
12/3/2022	“The jeeps are worst of all em. Those are ridiculous and im sick of all of em… they’re bringing out the roadrage in me. BAN THESE LIGHTS. You know they have to know how bright they are but they don’t care as long as they make the sell and their drivers can see in their vehicle. Im over it so good luck to all yall with those lights when u see me coming cause im not giving an inch anymore and not slowing down no more cause i cant see. Hope we make it”
12/3/2022	“Push to ban em…thats what im doing  .lets all work together…ive seen some that aren’t bad so i know they can be built correctly but they only worry bout their vehicle sale and the ones driving their vehicle. If they see me coming all i gotta say is good luck cause im not giving an inch nor slowing down anymore”
12/3/2022	“Push to ban em”
12/3/2022	“Push to ban em”
12/3/2022	“I can’t see when there’s a car with bright headlights behind me. There’s no way to get away from the light and it’s super dangerous to guess at where you’re going when you’re driving.”
12/3/2022	“I had a crash not long ago all because i was blinded by another cars LED super bright headlights and couldn’t see, therefore, crashed. Luckily it was minor, no one was hurt. Big cars, small cars, it really doesnt matter, they all seem to have super bright lights that dazzle drivers and all it takes is a setting through the ECU to bring down the brightness. My car isnt bright so i can confidently say im not the reason for increase in numbers of crashes but it would be great if all other cars was the same. Why have them so bright for? This must be addressed.”
12/2/2022	“I almost cannot drive at night now- it’s so disorienting. I can’t concentrate on driving safely when oncoming lights hit me in the eye- I’m blinded. And the ones coming up from the rear give a triple blinding effect in rearview and side mounts all at once. It completely alters depth perception.”
12/2/2022	“It is terrifying to drive at night with these blinding lights. It is such a danger”
12/1/2022	“These lights are blinding, especially when driving in the rain. It’s impossible to see where the road lines are, let alone if anyone happens to be crossing the road.”
12/1/2022	“Please! I thought my eyes were going out and I wouldn’t be able to drive in the dark anymore until someone told me that it’s the LED lights on cars.  At times it is blinding, so bad once that I had a complete panic attack on the road and had to pull over (before I knew about the lights).  I’m reading up on this and I’m not the only one this is affecting.  I 100% agree with this petition.  Car makers should no longer be allowed to put these on cars!  No one should die due to lights blinding them!”
12/1/2022	“I might have to try this! Hope it helps!”
12/1/2022	“The car manufacturers need to be sued for putting them on cars. I’m sure they know by now the dangers!”
12/1/2022	“Try living in a HIGH traffic area like the Bay area where I do where you have TONS of these bright lights blinding you on your way home, I’m surprised I haven’t crashed yet…..I have started taking back roads just to avoid these.  This shouldn’t have to happen.”
11/30/2022	“I can’t see anything! I can’t see the road much less any pedestrians or cyclists that might be nearby.”
11/28/2022	“Those lights TOO bright and they can cause accidents when you blind the driver coming towards you. Please, for the life of others, recall them and fix it and don’t put any more on any other vehicles!”
11/28/2022	“I completely agree.”
11/28/2022	“My eyes are very sensitive. The eye doctor said the back of my eyeball is very reflexive,and it shines back into my retinas. Ive almost wrecked many times over blinding lights. Especially jeeps.”
11/27/2022	“I totaled my car because of these things.”
11/26/2022	“Drivers who use bright led headlights force me to drive at night with sunglasses. It doesn’t feel safe but I have no choice. I can’t see otherwise.”
11/25/2022	“Absolutely. No need what-so-ever for it, it’s down to trendy looks NOT proper optical engineering and design. To an extent the rear light problem can be mitigated by keeping well back from the vehicle in front, unless of course the vehicle in front is being driven by an asshole who sits with their foot on the brake at stop signs and traffic lights.  But headlights are a real problem as it’s not practical and potentially fatal to try and avoid a numbnutz f***wit coming towards you on high beams and/or poorly adjusted main beams. Again it’s in part down to poor/cheap light design for fashion, not putting light on the road in front where it IS actually needed.Rant over, I’m off to trim the wicks and top up the lamp oil on my vehicles lights.”
11/24/2022	“I can’t see, they’re blinding”
11/24/2022	“Tall SUVs, trucks, and especially Jeeps should not be allowed to have LED headlights. They are too bright and we are all below the cutoff shield.  What happened to the purpose of the cutoff shield? But even smaller vehicles are guilty too. Toyota you’re the worst! The reflection on rainy days is horrible.If the roads have hills one gets blinded coming over the crest. If the divided highways are not on the same level you are blinded.This is not safe!  I hate driving at night now and refuse to be in front of them!  I wrote the transportation safety board to express my concern!”
11/23/2022	“It’s a serious hazard.”
11/23/2022	“It is so dangerous.   Those lights are blinding for everybody but especially for seniors and more prone to night vision problems”
11/22/2022	“I’m tired of being blinded at night!!!! It’s dangerous!!! And when it’s rainy they reflect off the wet pavement!!!!”
11/22/2022	“I get blinded every time I drive at night I wear sunglasses but afraid I will hit a deer a dog mailboxes or even a person, I try to drive at night without sunglasses and I get head aches every time from the new white lights”
11/21/2022	“Most semis have 4 bright LEDS headlights too!!”
11/20/2022	“These lights are one of the biggest reasons I cannot drive at night. I already have horrible vision and will be getting LASIK eye surgery soon due to the difficulties I face. I am stunned that anyone besides law enforcement can have these lights. They are the equivalent to driving with high beams and I certainly believe that the auto accident rates have sky rocketed since this engineering failure.”
11/19/2022	“Driving is becoming more difficult and dangerous due to blinding lights( headlights, tail lights, turn signals, daytime running lights, etc.) from other vehicles that are proliferating today.The glare from these lights makes driving even more difficult for older drivers whose eyes take longer to recover from flashes of bright light.Exposure to the blue light component of LED lighthas numerous health effects including disruption of circadian rhythms and sleep and may be a contributer to age-related macular degeneration.”
11/19/2022	“I am SICK of being blinded while driving. If there’s even a LITTLE dirt on my windshield, the light scatters across my windshield and it makes it super hard to see at night. Plus, all the rednecks love installing the brightest, bluest lights they can on their trucks in my area. I also get migraines/nauseous if I see too much bright light.BAN ALL WHITE LIGHTS. Yellow/warm lighting only and I would argue making that so for EVERY residential use (landscaping for example). White lights just blind us and suppress our melatonin production. This is an area of technology that does not need further advancement. For the betterment of mankind, we need to plateau our headlight tech, nay our lighting in general, at warm lighting and call it a day.”
11/18/2022	“I hate LED lights.”
11/17/2022	“These are so dangerous – I would like to know how many accidents have been caused by them?”
11/17/2022	“Modern headlights dazzle and so are dangerous”
11/17/2022	“So many near accidents due to blinding headlights !”
11/17/2022	“get that out of my face”
11/17/2022	“Rudolph Cardone”
11/17/2022	“I’m signing this petition because I am sick of being blinded by oncoming cars at night.  It is very dangerous.  Car makers should be held accountable for accidents that occur because of this.”
11/15/2022	“LED headlights are dangerous and blinding to everyone except the person who has them and should be illegal!!!”
11/15/2022	“I drive at nite a lot, and at 72, worry that my high-beam recovery time may be diminished.”
11/11/2022	“I can’t drive at night and I’m having hard time changing lanes checking the mirrors and being blinded by cars behind me”
11/11/2022	“I’m sick of getting dazzled by stupidly bright headlights”
11/10/2022	“i can no longer drive at night!”
11/9/2022	“I can’t see s..t!!!”
11/9/2022	“I almost hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk last week. She was right in front of me but I couldn’t see her, or anything, because of the headlights on the opposite vehicle. Why are these high-lumen blue headlights allowed?”
11/8/2022	“I have astigmatism and bright headlights put my life at risk”
11/7/2022	“HID headlights from two wheelers to hour wheelers all is a showoff for the vehicle owner. It encourages high speed at night time for the vehicle owner with hid and the same blinding lights are a hazardous for oncoming traffic. With a very high probability of accident due to combination of owners speed and blind oncoming traffic. Save life’s say no to HID led headlamps.”
11/3/2022	“Those light are too bright, can be dangerous, can  cause sickness,  headaches,rashes and aren’t necessary”
11/3/2022	“These lights are ridiculously bright and blinding. If you have a vehicle with these lights approaching you and behind you, you are completely blinded. This is clearly not a safety improvement.”
10/31/2022	“Night driving is dangerous greatly in part to blinding head lights.  Especially the bright bluish head lights!  Are there safety studies which can identify the safest head lights for night driving?!!!!”
10/30/2022	“These headlights are making it harder and harder to drive at night time.”
10/27/2022	“I find the LED headlights very dangerous while driving.”
10/27/2022	“Fuck led headlights”
10/26/2022	“These blinding lights are dangerous. They distress me when driving in the dark.”
10/24/2022	“Until 2012, LEDs were classified as lasers.  I don’t want humanity to suffer severe eye trauma. Incandescent and halogen headlamps have served us well for many decades and the severe glaring of oncoming traffic with LED lamps is incredibly dangerous. LED is surface illumination and not point illumination, this technology on the roads was never legal to begin with.”
10/22/2022	“I am blinded every time I drive at night by the ridiculously bright LED headlights. They are dangerous and need to be banned.”
10/22/2022	“Quite frankly I find these bright lights at night, when a car is following me sets off PSTD that I am getting ready to be pulled over by law enforcement. For years, the only time you would be exposed to these lights was when law enforcement was ready to pull you over. These lights trigger a panic response that I am doing something wrong and need to look for a place to pull over before their red siren lights came on. This is due to conditioning from decades of driving in a world where the only time we were exposed to this was for an emergency or other issue where I needed to respond to the bright light warning.  Was I speeding?”
10/21/2022	“90001”
10/20/2022	“I’m signing because these headlights are truly Dangerous. I now drive with sunglasses on as a few times, I’ve almost hit a pedestrian having been blinded by an oncoming LED featured vehicle. Jeeps and 18-wheelers seem to be the brightest and most offensive, hazardous. On some vehicles the daylight headlights shine Wide, spotlighting side-view mirrors AND houses on residential streets. When these lights first hit our streets, I asked a Nissan engineer WHY the new lights; his reply with a smile, “If we can save a buck….”; aka LED’s are cheaper. Congress or the FHA MUST implement a mandatory, standardized low lumen as they did in the ’80s with halogens. This is irresponsible private and federal sector management.”
10/20/2022	“This 2021 NYT article is interesting.  https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/05/business/led-hid-headlights-blinding.html?smid=url-share”
10/19/2022	“Every small change matters”
10/19/2022	“It’s getting extremely difficult to drive at night.”
10/18/2022	“With me having epilepsy my seizures have spiked in numbers due to the effects of the lights!!! I work and I am a closing manager so the seriousness of these lights being banned would do wonders for me!!! I have had 13 plus seizures in the past two weeks!!!”
10/18/2022	“I have really bad light sensitivity and where I live it’s not an option to just not drive. Here in Canada we have long nights in the winter and we also have LED car lights. I get temporarily blinded by those lights and it’s a serious issue. One day I, or someone else I know may crash, get injured or die.”
10/16/2022	“My commute includes driving home after dark for about an hour and there are many cars out there that appear to have their bright headlights on. Some may not actually have them on. If they do, they are major assholes!”
10/15/2022	“It’s not all LED lights. They are called xenon lights. They are incredibly bright. This year the FTC approved pixel headlights for the regular LED lights. What this does is shade out an area where there is an oncoming vehicle or one in front of you. Many manufacturers have these features, but they weren’t activated cause they were illegal. I did sign the petition, but I wanted to make sure before you sent it, that most of the issue is with the xenon lights. People will have them installed by a third party, and most of the time they aren’t installed properly. The lights should be adjusted to shine on the road directly in front of the car. A lot of people install them themselves and don’t do it properly.”
10/15/2022	“These lights are dangerous.”
10/12/2022	“Extremely bright lights really bother me at night. The LED & HID headlights are extremely bright & almost blind me. This is most dangerous!”
10/12/2022	“I have post concussion syndrome. These ridiculously bright lights have nearly caused me to just pull off the road until they pass by.”
10/12/2022	“I agree these headlights are dangerous. They are definitely blinding.”
10/12/2022	“You can buy a 40,000 lumen led headlight on eBay and Amazon right now.  No where on Amazon/eBay is it mentioned that these items are illegal for on road use.  People have already been blinded and injured by the recklessness of these sellers.  A class action against Amazon/eBay would put a stop to this.”
10/11/2022	“too blue are these lights horrible in fog.  need to return to soft white color temp.  3000 to 4000 on the kelvin scale no higher. yellow not blue”
10/11/2022	“I have found these lights totally blinding at night and find them dangerous!  I may not see a pedestrian because of them.”
10/11/2022	“Blinding lights kill”
10/11/2022	“common sense please”
10/11/2022	“There are so many ways to assault people, in which the effects may be felt only gradually, over time, and by degrees. In the case of driving, sudden blinding may make other road hazards not visible, leading to sudden disaster. When government agencies are captured by the companies they allegedly regulate, harms, such as these harms, may continue unless there is concerted rebellion by the public.”
10/11/2022	“Bigger and brighter is NOT better!  Also we are suffering from Visual Overload with more and more brilliant stop lights, borders around them, neon buttons to mark the lanes, way too much Visual CLUTTER.  It is getting increasingly challenging and way overboard and unnecessary!”
10/10/2022	“Cannot drive at night due to these LEDs.”
10/8/2022	“been having a hard time riding my bike for how my sunglasses and goggles cant reflect them from my eyes since i find the bright white LEDS be annoying when they should not be on in the day or night”
10/8/2022	“It’s soooo dangerous, I have a very hard time driving at night!”
10/7/2022	“LED headlights aren’t just inanimate objects. They represent a group of CRIMINALS who have unleashed an eyesight and life destroying pandemic upon drivers. Normally criminals are forced to pay for their crimes. But these criminals have been committing their crimes with absolute impunity and no repercussions. These criminals include: Ann Carlson and the rest at the NHTSA, the DOT, State DOT’s, the FDA, elected officials, and local law enforcement who despite mountains of evidence that LED headlights destroy eyesight and endanger lives have refused to lift a finger to do anything to regulate this atrocity or even take legal action against those violating the law by putting illegal aftermarket LED’s in semi trucks and vehicles. LED headlights have RUINED my life. They have damaged my eyesight.  They have taken away my job of ten years. They have taken away my ability to make a living and pay my mortgage and bills. They have ROBBED ME of my ability to go out at night and drive when and where I want. They have DES”
10/1/2022	“I’ve almost gotten into several accidents being blinded by led headlights behind me, they need to put limitations on how bright and what color they are”
9/30/2022	“Can we please stop this madness!  At least stop putting LED lights in high trucks and jeeps which negates the cutoff shield. Please!!”
9/29/2022	“Please for the love of God make this blinding lights illegal. A huge truck parked in front of us last night while we were pulling out of target and I am still seeing weird spots the next day. It makes me so sad honestly. Our vision is one of the most precious gifts. We are killing it with this stupid bright headlights”
9/29/2022	“Those who use blinding headlights on their vehicles are scumbags of society who are irresponsible and extremely selfish to the core, show zero respect to lives.they should be dealt severely by law of the country. Expect authority to take stern action ASAP before the innocent road users are killed by them.”
9/29/2022	“I can’t drive at night because of HIDs. They are unsafe!”
9/27/2022	“As someone who gets migraines from bright lights (as many people do), the bright headlights make driving at night impossible and dangerous.”
9/26/2022	“These lights are dangerous and unnecessary.”
9/23/2022	“The United States is lacking in headlight control. Other countries, such as Europe, allow for ADB headlights. United States laws do not allow for the use of these adaptive headlights. Manufacturers are fitting new vehicles with these dangerously bright LED headlights, but using old methods of simply blocking off the light or angling it down to reduce glare. This works ok when on a flat road, when the headlights are properly adjusted, and the vehicle is not modified. We all know the world is not flat though, and modifying vehicles is a strong hobby. This leaves other drivers on the road blinded by oncoming vehicles simply by cresting a hill. Trucks can be towing a small load, causing the rear to squat, and angling the headlights upwards, making it seem like they are driving with their high rams on.It’s a fairly simple solution, change the laws to allow for the ADB system to be used in the United States, and outlaw the use of LED headlights without being paired with an ADB system.We need to move quickly as th”
9/22/2022	“Highly distracting, lives matter more than aesthetics. Especially on a night drive.”
9/20/2022	“I have a condition called Adies Tonic pupil which causes for one eye to be dilated. Even with special prescription glasses to drive at night, I’m still blinded by these lights because they are so bright. These new lights need to be regulated NOW! For the safety of all pedestrians and drivers.”
9/18/2022	“ఢఀయ”
9/18/2022	“I’m a collision survivor”
9/17/2022	“I hate those horrible blue lights they make it SO hard to see! This is the whole reason I hate driving at night!!”
9/14/2022	“They are genuinely dangerous to the safety of others”
9/12/2022	“LEDs are a health hazard and dangerous to drivers. They need to go ASAP.”
9/12/2022	“These lights are killing people”
9/12/2022	“It is very blinding driving at night and a car with these types of lights comes towards you.”
9/8/2022	“The car and truck lights are blinding and could cause an accident.”
9/8/2022	“When I’m driving at night these headlights makes difficult for me to see the cars  approaching me and the Road.”
9/2/2022	“I’m sick of being blinded by these headlights their practically high beams”
8/30/2022	“There’s no reason for the lights to be as bright as they are. Eyes can’t adjust that quickly which means that for a few seconds drivers are literally driving blind.”
8/23/2022	“Being constantly blinded by ridiculously bright headlights while driving at night is a completely solvable issue and its ridiculous that nothing has been done to address this ever-growing problem.”
8/19/2022	“Too many people swap out ther bulbs for these super bright LEDs and aiming them high. I’ve been blinded too many times from on coming traffic with these LEDs and have have to change my rear view mirror and side mirrors when they are behind me because its so blinding. These lights need to be illegal. Cops and highway patrol need to pull them over.”
8/19/2022	“These lights seriously are blinding, they have affected my night vision. Cars are equipped with bright lights when needed. Please go back to the regular headlights.”
8/18/2022	“These super bright HID lights that are put into reflector housing are putting out a super blast of light that is like driving directly into the sun! The purpose of these types of lights are to hopefully cause an accident in the hopes of killing a targeted person. These headlights are currently being used by hate groups, gangs, police, and by political groups who just can’t think for themselves and believe the rhetoric and must go out and force their ideology and everyone else.These super bright, completely blinding headlights are being used as one of the newest killing weapons. I have personal experience with this new murder tool as it is currently being used against me as I am the current target of a local hate group which is backed by several home owner associations. My crime, I am a 63 year old disabled widow living with my dog in my van. This vigilante group has been running homeless people out of my county for a couple of years now or simply being homeless. I on the other hand and quite stubborn and will”
8/17/2022	“these bright lights make driving at night VERY difficult.”
8/15/2022	“This is a horrible traffic hazard — exponentially worse when used on higher-profile vehicles like SUVs and large pickups.  But even with regularly-sized cars, it’s made it so that I can hardly see the road ahead, whether it’s someone coming astride in the other lane, or oncoming traffic.  I don’t see a single benefit here.  I’m not sure why these are necessary — for safety?”
8/12/2022	“I’ve been literally temporarily blinded for a few years from extreme white and blue spectrum headlights.”
8/11/2022	“These headlights are blinding from oncoming vehicles and from the vehicles behind. The mirrors drill them into the driver’s eyes.”
8/11/2022	“I get blinded if driving at night and a vehicle with LED lights is coming towards me. It is incredibly dangerous. The old-style car lights never bothered me unless they’d left their high beams on.”
8/9/2022	“LED cause migraines”
8/8/2022	“LED are just dangerous. Even during the day they blind me and I’m only 47.  How bad do they blind older drivers?????”
8/5/2022	“I’m tired of being blinded from this style of headlights. It is dangerous to have these headlights on vehicles.”
7/28/2022	“These lights are completely unnecessary & DANGEROUS! The human eye is not meant to constantly dilate & be flooded with blinding light one second, and then plunged into darkness the next. Your eyes cannot physically possibly adjust that fast! If someone blinds you with these horrible led headlights and then someone crosses the street in front of you in the dark, you could possibly hit them! It is insane!They give me headaches and eye aches. LED headlights WILL kill people.In fact, they probably already have”
7/27/2022	“The street lights have gone dimmer and car lights are so bright they literally blind you for seconds after they pass you.”
7/22/2022	“these lights are evil and they suck improve road lighting fixtures instead”
7/22/2022	“As a migraine sufferer with light sensitivity, these headlights make it very difficult to drive at night.”
7/22/2022	“I hate those headlights with a passion”
7/21/2022	“These headlights are actually dangerous.  If you need that much light to drive at night you shouldn’t be driving.”
7/10/2022	“These lights are unsafe and need to be banned. When I walk at night I can’t see a thing with these oncoming headlights.”
7/10/2022	“Clean headlights should be suffice. You’re not directing ships to port. Your stock headlights are enough.”
7/2/2022	“driving with double astigmatism at night was hard enough before these headlights. even in my 20s, i’ve almost completely given up driving at night due to these too bright headlights.”
6/30/2022	“I get “Blinded By The Lights””
6/26/2022	“Yes I understand it because, certain newer cars have a tendency to blind you, it can be very very dangerous.”
6/24/2022	“They are to bright.”
6/9/2022	“i get constant migraine and i think its from driving at night, these LEDs arent it. ive been blinded to the point that im almost driving towards the light which can cause friggin accident”
6/9/2022	“The over last 10 years have become far to bright.”
5/26/2022	“I hate these headlights, I can’t see!”
5/20/2022	“I can’t stand halogen headlights and they’re dangerous”
5/19/2022	“I’m signing because these lights are horrible!! The LED ones (super bright white ones)… They are absolutely blinding!! Whether they are shining from the car in back of you or cars that are facing you… “They are a blinding”and I can’t see how people are able to bare them?  I use a my rear few mirror dimmer to help me with cars behind me, but I literally have to hold my hand up like I’m blocking sun glare for the cars that are driving towards me.  They are really hazardous.  I was literally blinded by a car driving towards me with them one day and I had to pull over and let it pass because I couldn’t see! They shouldn’t be legal at all.  This isn’t safe! They are too bright and there will be more fatalities if something isn’t done.  I’m so happy to see this petition.  After yet another blinding experience this evening I had to look for help! Hopefully it won’t take a horrible event for something to be done.”
5/18/2022	“The blinding lights cause me migraines. I won’t drive at night now.  They need to be stopped”

5/6/2022	“I have a very low car and they shine right into my window I can’t see anything until I pass them! I know I can’t be the only one who gets blinded.”
5/4/2022	“These lights are ridiculous!  Driving back home from Airlie beach yesterday so many people not only blinded me with their lights on low beam but they seem to not see you coming either.  I had to flash at least 8 cars just to get them to dim their lights.  You are left with light burn in your eyes for a few seconds that is so dangerous!   I cannot believe it is legal.”
4/26/2022	“this has been driving me crazy and the lights are damaging my family’s eyes and affecting our sleep”
4/25/2022	“The saying is to look at the painted guide line on the passenger side. However, that doesn’t work for oncoming vehicles. Also, from the rear it makes you do not want to look at your dude view mirror. I can flip my rearview mirror. However, my side view mirrors didn’t come with the feature of mirrors being able to reduce glare and brightness. It’s not just the LEDs. It’s also people with these yellow/haze oxidized headlights with high beams on. Like there’s self DIY restoration kits and also pros that’s restores headlights clarity.”
4/25/2022	“I’m sick of being blinded by super bright headlights while driving at night.  You can tell from a mile away which car has reasonable headlights, and which one has the newer super bright blinding headlights that are going to daze you when it passes.  It’s gotten ridiculous now, and NHTSA should have done something long ago.”
4/24/2022	“These LED lights might actually brighten a road, but their excruciating glare causes oncoming drivers to both miss markings (and signs) and to have to look completely away from a road. Installing useful lights—head or tail—that are actually possible to look at should not be even slightly difficult to manage.”
4/21/2022	“I darent drive at night becayse of the blinding lights. I cant see a thing.”
4/21/2022	“To be accurate. LED = light emitting diode. JUST Like a Laser Diode. LED “lights” are NOT LIGHTS! But dirty unfocused, un-natural LASERS! They have NO PLACE on vehicles!!”
4/20/2022	“I’m blinded by oncoming headlights!”
4/19/2022	“These lights aren’t just blinding they’re painful; daggers stabbing into my eyes. It’s gotten so bad I have to wear sunglasses at night to protect my eyes.”
4/19/2022	“I am affected while driving when others have super bright led headlights. It blinds me to the point that I can’t see the lines on the road and have to shield my eyes.”
4/19/2022	“These are a danger to all road users. If they cannot be correctly installed an angled by the manufacturer in the first place, ban them altogether.”
4/18/2022	“It is bewildering that someone decided these glaring, painful lights were a good idea anywhere. They give more light, but there is less visibility, due to glare. More bewildering is that they got manufactures and a big chunk of the population to go along with it.  However, using them for headlights is just… what word is strong enough for “so obviously foolish; surely they could have predicted what would happen.” If they can make these lights with a more tolerable color spectrum (as they do with fluorescent lights), why don’t they? They hurt my eyes and blind me if I’m caught unprepared. For self preservation I look at the line at the edge of the road, and not directly at the road. I assume others do the same.”
4/16/2022	“These blinding headlights have gotten out of hand and should go away for good. There is absolutely no reason why vehicles such as pickup trucks and semi trucks need to have blinding headlights which are brighter than a car’s high beams. These lights are very unsafe for oncoming and outgoing traffic, especially during heavy rain storms at night.”
4/12/2022	“Lights are so obnoxiously bright. I get blinded by low beams from the back, shining in my rearview mirror.  Lights should be the lowest level necessary for safety, not a security light that lights up the road for miles.”
4/4/2022	“I’m only 38. I shouldn’t have to to consider not driving at night. But every night I drive home from work im blinded and the cops do nothing to help. They watch you drive by with your car lite like it’s the middle of the day and do nothing. Till something is changed im driving 15-20 mph if they get behind me.”
3/29/2022	“I’m tired of having to move my mirrors because of some jerk off behind me blinding me”
3/29/2022	“The LED lights give me headaches and make night driving unsafe bc I can’t see curbs or islands. I try not to drive at night, but have resorted to wearing sunglasses at night if I must drive.”
3/28/2022	“When that car drives towards me with led lights, I Can’t See the road car etc.   Led lights are dangerous for incoming traffic!!!”
3/27/2022	“The LED headlights are blinding”
3/24/2022	“Well a win for us today!  GM and Ford are recalling some vehicles that have headlights too bright!  Also shows the Transportation Safety Board are useless! https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/general-motors-recalls-740k-suvs-headlights-bright-83598621”
3/24/2022	“Also ban the use of LED emergency lights that blind motorists, and ironically makes the ‘Move Over’ law hazardous to comply with.”
3/23/2022	“I already have awful astigmatism making night driving awful already… These headlights have made it A WHOLE LOT WORSE. They need to be banned/outlawed immediately!!!”
3/23/2022	“Driving is a part of daily life for many Americans, and widespread adoption of LED in headlights has had a noted effect on my life. If this is true for me, it must be for millions of others.”
3/21/2022	“I drive approximately 1.5 hours to work in the dark and back home daily. I am so sick of being blinded by these bright headlights. I just close my eyes and keep rolling when I pass them. I go in everyday thinking this will be the day they get me. It’s insane. Nobody needs headlights that bright!!”
3/20/2022	“Something needs to be done about this. It’s terrible and dangerous”
3/18/2022	“I am signing this petition because these led headlights are dangerous and can cause vision complications. I have personally experience these led headlights are blinding me at a stop light and driving on the road. It is not safe for anyone and will cause unfortunate accidents.”
3/17/2022	“all the 5g smart grid is a slow kill technology.”
3/17/2022	“I struggle to dive at night, avoid it as much as possible because of these blinding lights.”
3/16/2022	“I’m signing because my family friend was a severe car accident that left her hospitalized from a 6 months due to being blinded by an LED headlight and swerving off the road”
3/14/2022	“I am so tired of being blinded by lights on vehicles! I cannot change my eyeballs, but people can certainly change their lights!”
3/13/2022	“I genuinely cannot see at night due to these lights. I’ve caught myself in the other lane or on the side of the road because these lights blinded my vision to the point I could not see the lane lines. I have chronic migraines and any time I drive at night these induce them without fail.”
3/11/2022	“Helen Wilson”
3/10/2022	“Blinding people indicators need to be more visible not blended into break lights”
3/8/2022	“I live in a southern CA mountain/lake resort town with very challenging road conditions.  Many people from out of the area use their high intensity lights indiscriminately.  This causes many accidents with people being blinded and forced off the road as well as causing a lot of wildlife accidents/fatalities.  It isn’t safe – let’s fix it.”
3/7/2022	“The breed of today’s headlights especially those decorative and blue filament types dazzle and should be banned.”
3/6/2022	“They are fitted to appeal to the feeble minded who think they look ‘cool’,  car manufacturers are more interested in sales than road safety”
3/5/2022	“I hate LED lights. Bring back amber and sodium vapor.”
3/5/2022	“I’m 26 and can barely drive at night due to the sheer amount of cars with these lights. They blind me from my rear and side mirrors unless I hunch over the steering wheel, which is incredibly dangerous. I am also autistic and suffer from migraines so even a drive around the block is a guaranteed pain attack unless I pull over but even then I can’t avoid the oncoming brights. These lights have even stunned me DURING DAYTIME! It’s ridiculous that car manufactures think bright blue is better. It hurts! Please change the law and ask manufacturers to do light recalls!!! How can I hold down a job safely if I can’t drive at dawn or after dark? It’s beyond my control.”
3/5/2022	“These lights are a hazard to oncoming traffics ability to see while passing the person with these lights.”
3/5/2022	“Yesterday I looked in rear view and a new trucks light was so bright I was coming to a light n couldn’t see ,I stopped in the middle of the road ,at a green light ,and almost got rear ended”
3/5/2022	“I am tired of being blinded by on coming bright headlights.”
3/4/2022	“I’d like to live another few years!”
3/2/2022	“This shit is ridiculous now.  Enough is enough. Brighter lights help the driver behind them and then temporarily blind the oncoming drivers. This is NOT a safer enhancement!”
3/2/2022	“These lights are blinding for those in on coming traffic, particularly on country roads where city lights do not balance their effect. Traditional car lights are just as effective for driver’s visibility.”
2/24/2022	“Lights blind other drivers and cause deaths and accidents”
2/24/2022	“I’m no longer comfortable driving at night”

2/23/2022	“I’m tired of being blinded”
2/23/2022	“Some headlights are absolutely ridiculous and certainly not required in an urban environment.This is made worse by some people who park facing oncoming traffic with their headlights full on.”
2/23/2022	“They are a danger to on coming traffic”
2/23/2022	“These lights are blinding and make driving in the dark very difficult!”
2/23/2022	“I totally agree with this petition.  I done like driving at night for this reason!  It is so dangerous for these lights to be used as headlights.”

2/17/2022	“I am tired of being blinded by HID and LED car lights, even in day time, but especially the night time. Furthermore, The American Medical Association stated they find that increased levels of LED and blue light can cause blurriness, migraines, sleep apnea, heart disease, even cancers.”
2/17/2022	“I encountered a car today that was a pair of blinding suns moving towards me DURING DAYLIGHT. I had no idea what kind of vehicle was behind the light until it passed me, because I couldn’t see anything else on the road at all. I expected something unusual, like a rescue vehicle. Nope, just an ordinary car. That can’t be legal.”
2/16/2022	“No one needs these headlights on he automobile. They are blinding.”
2/15/2022	“These lights are great for seeing….if you’re the one driving with them. For everyone who has to drive with these lights shining in their face, it can cause or worsen a migraine and/ or it makes everything other then the lights look black! Therefore it temporarily blinds the driver from the road ahead….”
2/15/2022	“For a long time now people have been driving with LED lights that despite the dipped position are still glaring drivers on the road. I am a learner driver and spend most of my time as a passenger in my partner and my friends car and the glare from oncoming LED lights is unbearable. Several times when I have been in the car with other people they have had to slam on the brakes because they are dazzled by oncoming LED headlights. They should be made illegal unless the bulbs or headlight casings can be tinted a pale yellow colour to reduce glare and help all road users to become safer drivers.”
2/15/2022	“They are a danger to other road users  as they are too bright  and could easily  cause a accident due to dazzling”
2/14/2022	“As someone with an astigmatism in both eyes, these lights are quite blinding. I have driving glasses that don’t even work with the LED and HID lights.”

2/7/2022	“Europe already has these laws and it saves lives.  We can do better in the United States.  Trucks and large SUVs are the major culprits to this.”
2/7/2022	“It seriously is causing me harm. I drive on single lane highways often throughout Ontario and I am fearing for my life because of oncoming and even traffic following me. I cannot see, it is basically a guessing game with me praying that I do not fly off the roadway into a ditch. Blinding is an understatement.”
2/6/2022	“Can not drive at peace anymore. Especially now, in the winter, when the glare is ever more prominent.And the worst thing is – since most cars come equipped with DRLs nowadays and it’s considered “more safe” – makes my life even more miserable.Obviously, my issue won’t get fixed by any sorta legislation in US. But it’s a start.P.S. Did you know that in France it was illegal to have any manner of white lights until 1993 and you had to use “selective yellow” headlights?”
2/5/2022	“These lights are dangeroys”
2/5/2022	“They blind me when driving not safe at all”
2/5/2022	“I wholeheartedly agree. It’s dangerous! When they are coming toward me in a narrow dark road at night, some headlights are so blinding and I have to hope for the best until the other vehicle passes. When they are directly behind me, I have to fold my rearview mirror up (which is dangerous in and of itself, but still less so than not doing it) so that I can see on front of me and that only helps so much, since the glare from them are still blinding me from my sideview mirror. I don’t understand why this has been allowed to become such an issue, in the first place. I hope this will save some lives.”

2/2/2022	“hate being blinded by headlights”
2/1/2022	“We’re in Southern California where there’s streetlights every 15 feet. You don’t need these here, and we NEED to be able to see in front of us instead of using both hands to block the rear and side view mirrors when you’re behind us.In backwoods Oklahoma, fine, it’s dark. But we’re in a very well lit part of the country.Stop it.You suck.”
2/1/2022	“These type lights are blinding. And I can’t see good at night already.”
2/1/2022	“I drive in the dark in the morning a good part of the year.  Usually these ultra-bright lights are on lifted pickup trucks, which is a double-whammy.  It’s too much and needs to change.”
2/1/2022	“Th se headlights are dangerous.    They should definitely be banned.”
1/31/2022	“These lights are blinding and dangerous. Impossible not to squint when someone has these lights coming towards you. How in the heck is that safer than the other less bright lights???”
1/31/2022	“Sadly, we’ve all seen how some people act when “it’s for the good of others or the environment”…My question is when did BRIGHT lights like these become LEGAL?!I remember getting PULLED OVER & TICKETED 20yrs ago (in a mid-90s car) for having my “brights” on since 1 of my headlights was out. As DIM as those lights were, the Officer said I blinded him when I turned behind him! Now, 20X BRIGHTER IS OK?!!Like most nonsensical things, it’s probably going to take someone “IMPORTANT” to get hurt because of it for anything to change…”
1/31/2022	“LED head lights are blinding and very dangerous. Especially at night in the rain when you can’t see the lines on the road or anything in front of you because you’re blinded by LED head lights.”

1/31/2022	“I can’t see anymore driving at night!!”
1/30/2022	“I drive daily. And I see people using LED light bars as headlights. Even during the day. And the light is beyond absurd and blinding.”
1/29/2022	“If we’re having issues now and nothing is being done, it’s only a matter of time before car manufacturers start increasing lumen levels in their headlights making the problem worse.”
1/29/2022	“You think they are on main beam when they are on dip, you cannot help but look straight at them. So sad they have been allowed to become so common and the new “norm”.”
1/28/2022	“I absolutely cannot believe that these lights are legal! Everything about driving a car should be about safety, seat belts, air bags, etc but it’s okay to have blinding lights on your car?!?! This is reckless and inexcusable and needs to stop now!!”
1/26/2022	“I work in lighting industry and I know the effects of blue light and think this should be addressed globally.”
1/26/2022	“I struggle to drive at night with bright lights like this and almost had an accident. I had my eyes tested and they are fine, it’s purely people with lights too bright”

1/25/2022	“I know first hand the effects this has on my health and how it has made my life so restricted both indoors and out . People need to know the effects it has on photosensitive people and in fact non photosensitive too. The impact on health is phenomenal and it needs to be better understood & circulated to all and significant action taken to address this issue .”
1/24/2022	“They are blinding!!!  I hate them!!”
1/24/2022	“I know very many people, including myself, that fear driving at night because of these lights. It’s unsafe and unnecessary.”
1/24/2022	“Because led headlights have blinded me during nighttime driving therefore I cannot drive at night.”
1/24/2022	“These auto lights are causing much distress to my eyes during daytime but especially at night and I know I’m not the only one. Something must be done to stop this agenda to blind American citizens.”
1/24/2022	“Agree with the cause being fought here.  LED lights are particularly glaring – its the directional intensity, colour temperature (if only they were at the very least a ‘warmer’ colour), they often have high-frequency but discernible flicker, and auto-headlight sensors in cars bring them on too early, heightening the glare at dawn/dusk when dimmer sidelights are more appropriate.”

1/22/2022	“No where in nature do you see lights this intense and blinding.  It’s un-natural and harmful.  Time to reclaim the night and start living in harmony with nature.”
1/22/2022	“No where in nature do you see lights of this intensity and brightness.  The whiteness and glare is harmful on all levels to people and the environment.  Best way to send a message to manufactures who churn out this crap is to simply NOT buy it.”
1/21/2022	“We live in rural area and these lights are incredibly dangerous.”

1/19/2022	“The LED headlights blind oncoming drivers.  They should be banned outright.”
1/19/2022	“Since the introduction of LED lights I am noticing getting  ‘blinded’ at times by the brightness glare causing much difficulty for me driving at night.”
1/19/2022	“The new LED headlights are too bright and very dangerous, particularly for those who suffer with photophobia migraine and other similar conditions. These new lights are not a move in a positive direction, they are a set back.”
1/19/2022	“LED Car lights are a irritation and dangerous… they are unnecessarily brightcausing temporary blindness to people with sensitive eyes when driving at night.”
1/18/2022	“I can’t for the life of me understand how these extremely blinding bright headlights are legal. It’s frustrating driving at night because of those headlights!!”

1/16/2022	“I’ve been temporarily blinded by these ridiculous lights. They are dangerous to safe driving!”
1/16/2022	“LED headlights are way too bright and they’re dangerous. Whenever a car with LED headlights is driving past me, I can’t see anything until they’re gone, and I have 20/20 vision. Please ban LED headlights for the sake of road safety.”
1/15/2022	“Bring back yellow lights ��”
1/13/2022	“The intensity of the led headlights is beyond all possible reasoning.  I’m 46 with no health issues and drive with 1 hand over my face for oncoming traffic.  A ridiculously tall pickup that has no use other than to feed egos had 6 lights on each side of the grill, and were at least 5 feet above the ground. Additionally, a behemoth truck passed me and the lights shone sideways as well and blinded me as it was passing me. How did this pass government safety regulations.? Guess the auto lobbyist bought a few more politicians. Where is the justification in for this level of lighting? It is equally bad when one of these giants pulls up behind you at a stop light.  Once again, I guess we haven’t reached the number of led light related deaths to change anything. The only people supporting these lights are the ones who drive them.”
1/12/2022	“This light are hazardous and blinding”
1/11/2022	“I remember growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. Any off road halogen lamps, which are a lot weaker than today’s modern cars’ lights, being used on the road would la d you a ticket. Today corruption is evident, the motor vehicle departments and the legislature as well as the transportation department has given in to manufacturers, for profit, and prove of it is that these blinding lights are no longer considered ilegal. Enforcement against these lights is not possible because corrupted officials have turned these blinding lights “legal”. Third world business in the USA of today !”
1/11/2022	“It’s gotten to the point I drive at night only if I must. Jeeps and lifted trucks are the worst”
1/11/2022	“Like other comments these lights are great in an operating room, not so good on the road. There is a time and place for everything in life and LED headlights DO NOT belong on vehicles.  The government nneds to regulate the LUMENS we all know 60 lumens LED are not comparable to 60 Lumens regular bulb.  The worst ones are in vehicles that were built for regular bulbs most pre 2019 vehicles and people are buying crazy bright LED’s on amazon. This has to stop SOON!”
1/11/2022	“I am all for banning LED’s on headlights. They belong in an operating room not on the road. I really hope more people start opposing these lights as more and more are going to be seen on the road in the next 2 years. It’s going to come to a point where you will feel like you are in the twilight zone just going for a drive! PLEASE BAN LED’S OR REGULATE THEM SO THEY ARE NOT WHITE BRIGHT AND HARD ON THE EYES! I’m not old but it’s going to become an issue for those in their 20s and 30’s eyesight will be destroyed!”
1/10/2022	“The ridiculously bright headlights are SO dangerous.  For everyone.  Motorists, cyclists, pedestrians. PLEASE DON’T USE THEM PEOPLE.”
1/10/2022	“Went out last night and on the way home on a narrow road the oncoming Suv’s lights were blinding the crap out of me! I had to slow way down. I don’t like flashing them but I did! Bas-ard had his hi beams on! Really! Even after lowering his high beams I was still blinded! Pisses me off! According to police data, accident investigators report ‘dazzling headlamps’ as an influence in 10 fatal crashes, nearly 70 serious accidents and more than 250 other accidents. Some  drivers suffer something called ‘disability glare’. Studies have shown it can take up to 10 seconds to recover from.”
1/9/2022	“Im tired of being blinded at night and scared im going to hit someone or something while blinded! I cant believe these lights ever passed ANY car manufacturers safety inspections”
1/8/2022	“Because I feel that these headlights are dangerous & deadly. My mom almost got in very bad accident because of these damn lights!! How many more people have to get hurt or lose their lives because of this stupid trend of LED lights. It has to stop !! ”
1/8/2022	“I am signing this petition because the high intensity lumens (3000-4000) from LED highlights should be illegal, not the specially-designed glasses that are an alternative solution for driving at night. Once again it is a matter of money and power supported by the stronger lobbyists.  I thought it was my imagination, that the headlights today are stronger and brighter than yesteryear. With almost 29,000 people supporting this petition, how is it these lights are still legal. It is clear the powerful lobbyists have a strong  government backing and consumer affairs are of no concern.  What horrific event is going to ban these LED lights the way, the Amber alert came into play. Why will it take a tragedy for this country to create a statute to ban LED headlights. These lights are blinding, these lights cause migraines, these lights force to look away from the road. And for some, these lights cause people to blackout when they are driving. Seriously, that in itself is enough reason to ban LED headlights. The irony”
1/7/2022	“I drive my car now with high beams all the time bc it bounces back some of the light and even though I know this is illegal; I have no other alternative.”
1/6/2022	“hurts my eyes”

1/6/2022	“I am only 41 and have been struggling to drive at night for years already because of these headlights.    Just last week the driver behind me had lights so bright that the reflected off of the median barrier and light up the interior of my vehicle.”
1/6/2022	“Blue lights or light containing more blue lessen a persons night vision. These new lights blind other drivers”
1/6/2022	“When I drive at night, and there’s an oncoming car, I can’t see a darned thing until it has gone by me. I try to look at where the road in front of me SHOULD be, and pray that I don’t hit anything on the side of the road.It’s even worse if I am driving in a regular car (I drive a light duty truck.) I have friends who refuse to drive at night because they are blinded by oncoming halogens.Please, please, just angle them DOWN a bit??? Why do they ALL have to look like highbeams are already on? And when they do switch on their highbeams, then I am white knuckling the steering wheel, slowing way down, because I am almost completely blind until they have gone past me.Please, especially for the shorter amongst us, please stop blinding drivers?? It’s incredibly dangerous! It is light someone shining a flashlight directly into your face in the dark – all you can see is blinding light.”
1/6/2022	“We were just talking about this at work yesterday. Extra bright headlights, coupled with people having their high beams on, plus the fact that truck & SUV headlights are at the height of sedan windows, make for some dangerous driving conditions.”

12/31/2021	“Should be illegal”
12/30/2021	“I have had to quit my job as an Uber driver because I can no longer see when driving at night. This directly leads to bar patrons deciding to drive themselves because they don’t have another option, which also adds to PEOPLE DYING.”
12/29/2021	“Headlights on new cars are a joke”
12/28/2021	“my astigmatism blurrs led headlights so they’re the only thing i see”
12/27/2021	“I deliver for a living and these lights are so bright that I have to block them with my hands or pull over and let them pass me.  Nobody needs lights and powerful under normal driving conditions.”
12/24/2021	“This has been an issue for me for years!! My eyes are sensitive, and I also suffer from severe migraines. Bless the person who started this petition, and you’ve got MY signature!”
12/23/2021	“These lights are harmful and are going to cause many accidents!”
12/23/2021	“not only is it harmful to myself and other human road users outside of said vehicle, it is also penetratingly damaging to living creatures, notably insects who are disoriented, and disrupted by the effects; this in the sixth great extinction, in a biodiversity crisis…”
12/23/2021	“It’s so bad that I get migraines any time I go out at night. It’s just not reasonable to expect everyone with sensitive eyes to never drive after dark or in stormy weather. These lights are so bright and disorienting that it can lead to premature vision loss!”
12/22/2021	“I drive country roads often where conditions can be challenging without blinding bright white lights causing temporary blindness. A lot of the time road lines are faded or nonexistent in foggy, rain or other inclement conditions on windy roads these bright white lights. That have become the standard instead of a exception create a perfect storm for close call situations. I can handle old school standard halogen lights even with their brights, but these new led style lights make it impossible for ANYONE to see and we must not take away vision from our drivers.”
12/21/2021	“It is so distracting and dangerous while driving and having these kinds of headlights blinding you! I have feared for my safety when I could barely even see the guide line to the right of my truck. Before these new LED lights became wide spread, that level of brightness was only used when your brights were on. There is zero reason for lights this bright esp when the majority of people drive in populated areas.”
12/21/2021	“It’s dangerous, when you’re blinded by these lights”
12/20/2021	“I get blinded by cars with LED lights and LED streetlights. We need help to stop this madness!”
12/19/2021	“bright led headlights with auto dimmers still to BRIGHT”
12/18/2021	“In really tired of “driving by feel” everytime a car with a set of these lights passes me by.  I’m likely going to crash soon.”
12/18/2021	“bc fuck them im trying to see to drive !!!! fuck u too if you have headlights brighter than the sun”
12/18/2021	“It blinds you when u driving”
12/18/2021	“If this saves just one life it’s worth it.”
12/17/2021	“Driving stately is utmost important and this change can help reduce the accidents”
12/17/2021	“it’s highly dangerous”
12/17/2021	“Becouse these headlights are dangerous”
12/16/2021	“These new bright headlights are dangerous and blinding to other drivers.”
12/15/2021	“Led lighting has its place but not for headlights or streetlights. The rays are harmful.”
12/14/2021	“I’m tired of being blinded with these bright lights! It’s painful!”
12/13/2021	“I can’t even see at night while driving anymore, and I’m only 25! With everything going online nowadays, were stuck staring at screens for hours. Sometimes against our will, with work from home! We can’t afford to harm our eyes even further.”
12/13/2021	“I can barely drive at night anymore. I’m afraid of an accident because I am constantly blinded by LED lights aimed into my vehicle”
12/13/2021	“I hate these lights. They hurt my eyes and head so bad.”
12/12/2021	“Deborah Kenney-Hood”
12/11/2021	“I have nearly died in the car because of blinding headlights. I’ve swerved off the road, I’ve been unable to see the road in front of me, I’ve missed bends in the road and I’ve nearly hit the car blinding me before.”
12/11/2021	“I can  no  longer  participate  in society  because  of  how  sick I get  from  LEDs. Please  join  me  and  the  many  who’s lives  have  been  turned  upside  down  by  radiation  emitting  deathiodes in  the  fight  to  bring  awareness  to  the deeply  painful  and  life endangering  consequences of  the  lack  of  regulation  and  accountability  in  the  ‘lighting’ market.”
12/11/2021	“I can’t see at night with those blinding lights and it causes me to swerve and lose sight and once I gain my sight back another car comes with bright lights. It’s ridiculous. It’s dangerous. Something needs to be done. Stop fixing things that don’t need to be changed and focus more on things like this!!!”
12/10/2021	“I am blinded by theseights”
12/10/2021	“Not only do these light make your side of the road not visible creating a safety hazard but if you’re like me they give you an instant pounding headache. These headlights are a nuisance and should be banned.”
12/9/2021	“I can’t drive safely with these brighter lights behind me and coming toward me”
12/8/2021	“I hate excessive glare in  eyes on night highways.”
12/8/2021	“I suffer from chronic Migraine Migraine and night blindness. I have to drive to and from work on very dark roads with these headlights either coming at me or coming up from behind. On very narrow country roads, it’s hard to look away and stay safe. It’s even worse when it’s on a work truck displaying two sets of these lights. Something has to be done about these lights before anyone else dies, and I sure hope  that someone isnt me.”
12/8/2021	“The LED headlights on these new vehicles and semis blind me so I can’t see ANYTHING. These ****ing things…I can’t even tell if they are on low or high beam they’re so bright. If I think someone’s halogens are on high beam but they aren’t and I flash them, and they flash me back…no big deal.  But if that happens with LED headlights and they turn on their high beams in retaliation it’s like being forced to look at someone welding without a helmet and my eyes hurt for hours after.Anything that damages your eyes and creates deadly conditions is not a headlight: it is a WEAPON. And that’s just what these LED abominations are. And they need to be BANNED.To anyone who says “people who hate LED headlights need their eyes checked”: if you need THAT much blinding light to drive at night, then you need YOUR eyes checked. And to everyone in the government who authorized this, take note. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU.”
12/8/2021	“These lights are extremely blinding, and also a threat and trigger to my health condition.”
12/8/2021	“I drive alot at night & these new lights are so bright & blinding it’s ridiculous how it’s even being allowed! Take these lights off the strets so we can see!”
12/7/2021	“They are dangerous and I haveto avoid night driving.”
12/7/2021	“These lights make it difficult to drive at night, are blinding, and induce migraines and other issues in many people.”
12/7/2021	“These lights are dangerous! You cannot dim them, and they blind other drivers!”
12/6/2021	“I can’t drive at night , specially approaching any curves on the road , if this lights are coming at me I have to slow down completely till they are no longer pointed directly in my eyes”
12/6/2021	“Sick of it…it’s already dangerous enough to drive at night.”
12/6/2021	“Driving at night especially in rain and snow you cannot see when when you approach a vehicle with led bright lights”
12/6/2021	“Its blinding”
12/5/2021	“I have a hard time gauging the distance or speed of an oncoming car with LED lights. Not only because of the way it looks but also they are often blinding. Whenever a large truck with LED headlights is behind me, the lights reflect off of my rearview mirror and are painfully blinding. This creates scary and unsafe situations for myself and others on the road. I can only imagine how awful this is for those with strong astigmatism and light sensitivities”
12/5/2021	“I live in a dark sky city where outdoor lighting ordinances are enforced to preserve the night sky. This makes extremely bright headlights all the more dangerous in areas where there are no other light sources. I went out to run an errand around 7:00pm two nights ago and had to turn around and head back home after five minutes of driving due to the blinding lights of oncoming traffic which caused me to fear for my safety. Something needs to be done about this before serious accidents occur.”
12/5/2021	“I’ve almost been in several accidents involving 12 ft ditches because I’m blinded my trucks and suvs with insanely bright led headlights. Headlights brighter than my high beams ! Absolutely ridiculous this hasn’t been handled already !”
12/4/2021	“It makes driving dangerous”
12/4/2021	“Driving at night has started giving me headaches. Earlier I used to wonder what’s causing this but over the time I have realized it’s the bright lights from oncoming traffic in the new cars. I don’t feel this with the occasional cars having old halogen bulb yellow lights. There are many times that I had to look away to protect my eyes. I wonder how many other people are facing this”
12/4/2021	“Naheed Azhar”
12/3/2021	“I like to see some changes.”
12/3/2021	“I am hardly able to drive at night anymore due to the strong headlights and lack of consideration of others not attempting to turn down their overly bright lights. It has become dangerous for me to drive as I literally cannot see the road in front of me.”

12/1/2021	“I’m tired of being blinded!!”
12/1/2021	“These are way to bright for cars ahead and behind…”
11/30/2021	“I believe these lights are a hazard on the road”
11/30/2021	“These lights are absolutely dangerous and I hope to god we can get a new law in place to save lives. I’ve dealt with these lights on two lane highways and it’s not a nice feeling, you pretty much have to brake and wait cause you cannot see anything. Enough already, I know the whole inconsiderate jerk in a lifted truck is the life blood of the police force and it’s supporters but at some point the public they supposedly serve must be taken into account.”
11/30/2021	“These lights are a joke and should be banned.”
11/30/2021	“They are too bright! No need for it”
11/30/2021	“I am tired of being blinded by these lights. I have to wear special glasses at night to drive and even then sometimes they are not enough.”
11/30/2021	“I have stopped driving at night because I can not handle the bright lights.  Every time I pass a vehicle that has these headlights I end up having trouble refocusing and arrive at home with the start of a migraine.  There is no reason for lights to be this bright.”
11/29/2021	“I don’t want to die so some entitled douchebag can follow spacecraft and pterodactyls at night!”
11/28/2021	“I have driven over 250,000 miles over the last 20 years.  The recent change to bright lights on an increasing number of vehicles is not just an annoyance, but a serious safety hazard to other drivers.  If the oncoming traffic has any vehicle with this new type of lights, I find that the light is quite blinding, and reduce severely my ability to see the road.  Please do something about this before it is too late and we have too many vehicles on the road with this type of light!”
11/28/2021	“They have blinded me to the point that I’ve had to completely pull off the road and stop!!   I no longer can enjoy evening rides with my grandchildren”

11/25/2021	“I’ve come close to hitting parked cars and pedestrians walking because of these headlights. Some lights are way too bright. And some people have 4 or even 6 of these headlights. BAN THEM!”
11/24/2021	“Those Led lights are way to much blue light for those who were glasses. At some points at night we can’t even see the road because of overly high Led lights blinding us from behind and oncoming traffic. More fatalities will come from these light source while on the road.”
11/24/2021	“The public would benefit from a serious inquiry into how these lights affect other road users, and regulation to ensure that manufacturers are not putting out products that are unnecessarily unsafe for others. Car manufacturers should be held to a high standard of safety for a community—not just the driver.”
11/23/2021	“The led headlights are getting out of hand!!!”

11/12/2021	“LED headlights are painful, blinding and dangerous, creating a situation where we can no longer see at night while driving, which is especially dangerous when approaching a crosswalk with an oncoming car with LED lights.”

11/11/2021	“These headlights create dangerous conditions for oncoming drivers. They are blinding.”

11/5/2021	“LED headlights have no place on our roadways period!!! They are so blinding! And you see spots afterwards.  I find myself looking at the far right side of the road, but then I’m not even watching the road in front of me.  Please outlaw them!!!”
11/3/2021	“I think safety should always come before selfish and/or “cool.” It used to be law to dim high beam lights as a courtesy if another vehicle is coming. These new halogens or whatever are even brighter than older high beam brights were/are.  They are temporarily blinding and are causing many problems to other drivers. Get rid of these and encourage yearly eye exams. People need glasses not brighter lights.”
11/3/2021	“I’m signing because I have been blinded by LED headlights and nearly crashed.”
11/2/2021	“Ban the blinding lights!Light pollution is ruining neighborhoods, commutes, and a serious danger on all roads!”
11/1/2021	“I really hate those bright lights at night.”

10/31/2021	“I am signing this petition, because I suffer from chronic inflammation of my optic nerves (which causes bright white vehicle headlights to be impossibly blinding). I am able to handle the soft yellow headlights without too much difficulty. I am speaking up for the many thousands of people who suffer from optic nerve issues that cause artificial lights to appear extremely bright.  -Chris Weston”
10/29/2021	“I am sick of being blinded by over bright headlights that make roads less safe”
10/29/2021	“These lights are blinding and absolutely dangerous for oncoming vehicles!  Sure glad THEY can see!  And some of the vehicles have three lights on both sides! WTF!!!  Whoever invented those ought to be…..”

10/25/2021	“Passing by a whole line of cars coming from the opposite direction is scary. The brightness makes it more difficult to see in front of me. This increase in brightness has become remarkably more problematic over the last few years.”
10/25/2021	“In one particular scary instance I remember being at a four way stop late one night and all three opposing vehicles had these extra bright lights glaring into the intersection, and as my vision was practically blinded I barely saw, at the last moment, some pedestrians start to come in front of my car as I began to drive forward. Thankfully I noticed them in time and stopped, but that was too close for comfort, not to mention the terrible uncomfortableness in my eyes from that horrific, blinding brightness. And unfortunately this blinding is all too common in many circumstances, pretty much every day. This needs a remedy, like yesterday!”
10/21/2021	“These lights are totally unsafe!”
10/20/2021	“These blinding lights are making it very hard to stay on the road when approaching a vehicle equipped with them.”

10/18/2021	“Blinding headlights are dangerous”
10/18/2021	“These harsh and blinding LED headlights are a danger to all. You’re not driving safer if you are blinding other drivers. Please ban LED headlights now.”
10/15/2021	“The headlights are too bright.”
10/14/2021	“As a wearer of glasses these produce a ridiculous amount of glare, and as a driver of a newer care with them there is no discernable advantage to visibility.  I would rather not have them nor be blinded by them.”
10/14/2021	“I hate it to honestly people need to be Courteous and careful on the road”
10/12/2021	“I believe this to be true.”
10/11/2021	“They are blinding and very dangerous”
10/11/2021	“Because of our northern latitude, we get early darkness in fall and winter.  On several occasions, I have narrowly avoided an accident because of these blinding headlights.   Even when a driver switches from high-beams, the headlights appear overly bright to oncoming drivers.  On our rural roads with minimal installed lighting, drivers tend to keep headlights on high for better visibility, unaware that their lights are blinding oncoming drivers.  We also get frequent fogs during these colder months, which scatters the bright light, creating an even larger zone of bright-blindness.  European countries require auto manufacturers to mitigate this hazard.  Why is the US so backward on this?”
10/11/2021	“I live off of a dangerous road and have been blinded so many times by oncoming halogen headlights it’s a miracle I haven’t veered off the road. I am shocked that such a dangerous nuisance is not being acknowledged by the masses and rectified:”
10/10/2021	“The headlights are blinding!”
10/9/2021	“I almost lost my life twice because of these  stupid lights. I was blinded by oncoming traffic and couldn’t see that traffic stopped in front of me. These lights should’ve been banned years ago. Until someone dies and the family sues, nothing will ever be done.”
10/9/2021	“Mine too!”
10/9/2021	“Can you get Tac Night vision in prescription glasses?”
10/9/2021	“I hate them so much.  I have gotten quite a few migraines from bright sunlight and and sensitive to bright lights.”
10/9/2021	“I have pulled over and let people pass because of this”
10/8/2021	“I agree there have been many times I almost wrecked and literally felt like I was not going to make it. Many people do blind other people on purpose I don’t think some people understand how dangerous it is or maybe they do and just don’t care.”
10/8/2021	“It is not legal for a blind person to drive and therefore should not be legal to blind someone while driving.  I have experienced these ‘blinding lights’ and because of them, now only drive at night when absolutely necessary.  I regret that my ability to go out at night has been restricted. Since AAA and AARP have no interest in helping with this problem, perhaps a class action suite against the manufacturer would be appropriate.  I volunteer to be your lead plaintiff.”
10/8/2021	“I have a hard enough time seeing at night WITH my glasses much less when someone is brightlighting me with the light of 1000 suns and your eyes take time to recover after and if anything is in the road in front of you there is a good chance you’re not seeing it and smashing it full speed. Ridiculous they’ve ever been allowed at this brightness ever anyway.”
10/8/2021	“These new headlights are even to bright for daytime usage”

9/29/2021	“I have personally had trouble seeing momentarily while driving at night due to blindingly bright headlights either behind me, or oncoming the opposite way.These can be very dangerous and we need to put an end to them!”
9/28/2021	“LED and HID headlights blind me when I drive at night.  I have to slow down because I really can’t see because of these super blinding lights in my eyes.  These lights cause a danger to oncoming traffic because they make it impossible to see.”
9/27/2021	“This is a safety issue-clearly!!!We,the public should not have to insist that the producers of these products cease and desist production and distribution …it should be illegal to:produce,distribute,sell,use for use on our roads, highways and byways!”
9/25/2021	“I’m signing because I have experienced many times the dangerous hazard of being temporarily blinded by oncoming overly bright LED headlights and nearly wrecked my car on numerous occasions because I couldn’t see the road nor anything or anyone around my vehicle while those lights adversely affected my vision. I agree that headlights should be regulated and restricted to lower levels of brightness that will create safer driving conditions for drivers that are facing them.”
9/25/2021	“There has to a limitation set on the blinding headlight brightness. They only get brighter and brighter.”

9/23/2021	“Phyllis Abrams”
9/23/2021	“I have to look away when faced with the LED lights in oncoming traffic. Even the low beam lights used in the daytime are a problem.AN OVERWHELMING majority of drivers believe new car headlights are becoming far brighter than they need to be, according to research by The RAC. The motoring group found 91% of those surveyed believe car headlights are becoming too bright, with 60% admitting they’re regularly dazzled, even by dipped headlights.”
9/23/2021	“The super bright lights make it very hard to see the actual traffic, much less pedestrians. The LED craze is in so many stores now, and some make it impossible to look up, but at least they’re stationary, and I can avoid them. But the one on cars— in front of me, or in back of me— are temporarily blinding, and I truly hate what the do to our vision. Please use some common sense to get rid of known driving hazzards!”
9/22/2021	“LED lights and the light pollution they cause have negative effects on our health and environment. People share a common heritage to the skies and stars. Enjoyment of this common heritage is diminished by bright LEDs and the light pollution attributed to them.”
9/22/2021	“The last time I visited my family in the city I came down with a severe migrane headache from the continues onslaught of extremely bright, blinding LED headlights. The sheer amount of light pollution between the streetlights (now LED) and the headlights in virtually every cat on the road destroys my night vision, makes it impossible for me to use my mirrors for safety, and makes nighttime divinga exceptionally difficult. Stop this madness, NOW.”
9/22/2021	“In my experience, bright lights at road level create a halo of darkness, where you can’t see the vehicle itself or what is behind or around those lights.  A significant contributor to dangerous situations, no doubt!”
9/22/2021	“I’ve been blinded by these ridiculously bright lights in a construction zone and hit a barrier that wasn’t visible as a result.”
9/20/2021	“I just purchased a 2021 VW ID4 with LED headlights.  However as a driver age 70 I have noted that headlight glare is definitely more of a problem for me at night AND I do not have 20/20 vision with my glasses on! This change makes sense.”
9/19/2021	“Add these dangerous LED headlights to under lit cyclist weaving in and out of traffic and unlit pedestrians dashing across the street wearing black  at night in the rain during the early dark days of winter in high density neighborhoods in the city and it is simply a cluster bomb of accidents waiting to happen.  So scary to imagine a car accidentally hitting a pedestrian or cyclist. No more High beam LED headlights. Cross the street at the cross walk. Lights and helmets on cyclists. Even lights on pedestrians. No random dashing across the street.  I’m talking dense city streets.”
9/18/2021	“Please stop this nonsense!   We got 3′ lifted trucks/jeeps with LED headlights and LED foglights.  Only one who can see is that guy in the jeep.  No-one else can see around him!  Subaru, you just did this! This is crazy, what are we doing??”
9/17/2021	“LED headlights are blinding even when dipped especially in rainy conditions. I use my fog lights all the time now just to pick out the road nearside and centre white lines which are increasingly being left out after road repairs and maintenance.”
9/16/2021	“These lights create a hazard for all drivers!”
9/12/2021	“This needs to be addressed at the national level with a total recall of all of these new vehicles using this technology. I think given a choice, most people wouldn’t choose these awful lights, but it’s what comes standard and who is going to choose to change their headlights at the cost of 100s of more dollars.”
9/12/2021	“Do not like being blinded by headlights that have no business being that bright. They do not increase safety but are instead potentially unsafe.”
9/10/2021	“Peter jones”
9/9/2021	“Also daytimes lights are a hazard.  DC”
9/4/2021	“It blinds my eyes at night with headlights that are too bright. It’s very dangerous for drivers”
9/2/2021	“Shelley Reaves”
8/31/2021	“Driving on a road that has street lights or not when a vehicle approaches with glaring lights all visibility is lost and the chances of a crash are extremely high.”
8/31/2021	“I am fed up with being dazzled by these extremely bright headlights.”
8/27/2021	“These lights are dangerous and for people who suffer from Migraine , painful .”
8/26/2021	“This is common sense. Anyone who hasn’t been blinded in a dangerous way by HID or LED headlights is in for a serious scare when it finally happens”
8/25/2021	“I am tired of people putting my personal safety and others at risk by acting smug with their bright headlights and motorcycle headlamps on full bright during the day, as they’re passing by on the road. Let’s get this petitioner’s goal achieved, and get the ball rolling!”
8/17/2021	“Where do you actually sign the petition?  All I see is the Take the next step!  which is a funding request.   How about an immediately obvious button?”
8/15/2021	“these headlights are dangerous.”
8/10/2021	“I agree”
7/31/2021	“For Austin Lee Beebe and my road rage ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯”
7/25/2021	“I agree – I’ve been blinded by some of these and nearly come to grief !”
7/24/2021	“I drive a lot early in the morning for work. Just about every morning I experience a vehicle with blinding light and most of these people have no consideration for other drivers. It is very difficult to drive when these lights remain behind you in your rear view or head on. I find myself dodging the reflections from my mirrors or moving out of the way, just so I can see.”
7/21/2021	“Having to face blinding bright white headlights is a painful experience, damaging to our eyes, and dangerous.  Thank goodness there is proof that they need to be banned.”
7/21/2021	“At the age of 66, these needlessly overly-bright and misdirected headlights and streetlights have made impossible to drive safely especially on highways. Many times I had to pull over and let my husband drive who does not have astigmatism.”
7/20/2021	“Canada here: – Our divided highways are not level on each side, so you may always be below the “cut off” point for some parts of the highway- We still have a lot of side roads where you will be blinded by these, especially if it has small hills ( toyota corolla you are the worst here). If you come over a hill you will be blinded- We do not have a law to mandate self adjusting headlights, so all trucks with a load in the back or just high off the ground will blind you with these headlightsThis is the most selfish thing I’ve seen auto manufactures do.  Jeep you are the worst and Toyota how dare you.  You are selling the vehicles like this knowing the “a-holes” of the world will buy it and no-one cares…  Well we care! Enough is enough. These lights are for off road use.”
7/18/2021	“With the blinding head on lights at night on my local two lane roads, it is often impossible to see if there is any dangerous object in the road ahead.  Most of the time roads are clear, but I have witnessed several times where heavy damaging items are laying in the middle of the road that likely fell from a truck.  If I would hit one of these items that I could not see, it could cause death/injuries to me and/or people in the on coming traffic.”
7/18/2021	“Please ban these headlights.  They blind me even though I focus on the passenger side road lines.  People refuse to dims these blinding headlights are also contributing to theses road deaths.”
7/14/2021	“Bright headlights are incredibly dangerous. There needs to be strict regulation to limit their brightness.I once couldn’t even see the road in front of me because I was blinded by the headlights of a new Mercedes SUV.”
7/11/2021	“Blinding lights are a hazard to lives”
7/4/2021	“I read through the petition, and I want to be clear that my signature is intended to support a ban on use of LED lights at night while pointed at other drivers. It’s important on our farm to have light bars and such to help illuminate equipment we may be trying to fix at night before we need it the following day. But we use switches to control them, and no aftermarket LED headlights are installed. Those who are not responsible in the installation and/or use of LED lights should not be allowed to use them, or at least fined.”
7/1/2021	“I’ve almost gotten into multiple wrecks because these types of headlights blind me. They’re beyond distracting – they actually become physically painful and it becomes hard to focus on anything else when they’re in my view.”
6/29/2021	“The LED headlights on cars are destroying our environment and our eyes”
6/26/2021	“cause i’m short and i drive a short car. i’m at eye level with these fucking mini-suns and i’m tired of the road migraines >:(“
6/24/2021	“My father deals with this issue regularly and has a huge problem seeing the lines on the road when faced with these unnecessarily bright headlights. I’m not against HID’s but I am against the overuse of various types of LED’s especially because I’ve seen an uptick in my area of people applying many aftermarket parts to their vehicles in recent years.”
6/23/2021	“Blinding headlights make it impossible to see the road or any pedestrian or cyclist beside the road. They are horrible to have in the rear view mirror. Driving at night for any great distance in traffic becomes visually exhausting, which is unsafe for everyone.”
6/20/2021	“These headlights should be made illegal immediately. Besides being blinding, those who drive with them are not able to see what is in front of them and turn on their bright lights and running lights to help see better. The color temperature does not light up the road as well as other headlights do.”
6/20/2021	“I have, like most all drivers, been nearly unable to see for a number of seconds while driving due to these terrible lights that Never should have been allowed on cars but should Obviously be outlawed from being installed on new vehicles and removed retroactively from existing ones. Do we Need to wait for X number of highway deaths before a serious change is made?”
6/20/2021	“These lights cause more accidents, affect health and vision and impact bird migration.”
6/20/2021	“These new lights are to bright”
6/19/2021	“Where I live, the roads are 2-lane, hilly, curvy, and unlighted, and it’s deer country!  The blinding glare from oncoming LED headlights make it impossible to see upcoming curves and in-road hazards such as deer.    I do not have this problem with oncoming halogen headlights.”
6/18/2021	“I’m one of the older drivers who is blinded by the lights! Fix them!”
6/16/2021	“My experience is that these lights are extremely bright and make it nearly impossible for me to see anything else when opposite them. My husband is a trucker and it is equally impairing to them. We value our CDLs, our lives and our fellow drivers lives.”

6/12/2021	“Please sign”
6/12/2021	“LED lights have been a terrible addition to our daily lives and overall health.  To continue allowing LED lights on a car, either headlights or taillights, would only prove that our leaders, car manufacturers etc, care nothing about our safety while we’re on or off the road.  LED headlights blind drivers and black out everything around their glare for only a moment, but it only takes a moment to cause an accident. The worst part is the blurred vision we’re left driving with for several moments after when anything could happen.”
6/11/2021	“Nathan Currier”
6/11/2021	“It is vital to restrict the brightness for safety.  “Brights” are available when not following someone or approaching someone coming the other way.  That is enough.  But what really needs attention is the popular trend toward people using their fog lamps at all times.  It is illegal to do so in many places. Yet it is never enforced.  Some of these fog lamps are as bright or brighter than the headlights.  They are for FOG, not regular driving, and should never be used when approaching or following someone.  They have somehow become “fashionable” to be a big shot showing off that you have fog lamps.”
6/11/2021	“Blue/bluish, too high and too bright even with streetlights on. The driver with these lights may see better, but those impaired/blinded may end up aiming  for such vehicles unintentionally…”
6/11/2021	“As an independent elder, I have noticed for years that the blinding lights are creating unsafe driving conditions. They’re also threatening my independence as the lights are a serious risk factor for accidents that I want to avoid. They’re doing the opposite of what they’re intended to do — public safety!”
6/10/2021	“In the last few years I’ve begun to find that I can’t see the road very well at night due to the excessively bright glare of oncoming headlights.  Everything other than the headlights looks black to me.  I feel this is not only unpleasant, but also unsafe.  When in traffic, I sometimes have to avert my eyes from the bright red LED brake lights of cars in front of me.  Some cars are much worse offenders than others.  I’ve also noticed that even LED-based stoplights can be so bright that I can see them from a mile away but I can’t see the surroundings.   I thought for a while I was just getting old and my eyes were not as good as they used to be (I’m in my early 40’s), but a recent news article on the subject has me convinced that this is not my imagination — it’s a genuine problem experienced by many people.”
6/10/2021	“I usually wear sunglasses when I drive at night or raise my left hand to block oncoming traffic. Can we also lower the height of SUVs & other taller vehicles so they aren’t at the level of the eyes of the car drivers? Why can’t their headlights be at the same level as cars, since they need to hit the road rather than blind oncoming drivers? These lights are also blinding in rear and side view mirrors that I have to redirect at night.”
6/10/2021	“They are not only distracting but it also difficult to see anything past them. I am most aware of this while driving through areas with a lot of deer as I scan the roadside watching for the tell tale reflection in their eyes.”
6/10/2021	“I’m signing because my eyes have been painfully effected by these over-bright headlights for years!  I like the softer old lights.  Why do we need these when most cities are so flooded with LED’s anyway?!  They are harsh and they hurt the eyes.”
6/10/2021	“These blinding headlights are dangerous. It used to be illegal to drive on an interstate with your high-beams on; why are these super-bright headlights allowed?”
6/10/2021	“SUVs/trucks are the worst because their lights are high off the road an aimed straight into the oncoming car.  The headlights that automatically dim work terribly on country roads that curve or have lots of dips in them and the lights aren’t set up to dim far enough away from the oncoming car.  The lights are a huge safety problem.”
6/9/2021	“I support this petition.”
6/9/2021	“The extreme bright lites are insane and dangerous. I hate them. I also feel that way towards the police car flashing lights. What ever happened to the ole single red flashing light on top of a police car that everyone knew what it meant and how to respond?”
6/9/2021	“I have to pull off of the road every time one of the vehicles get behind me or slow down to a crawl when coming toward me.”
6/9/2021	“These extremely bright headlights do impair the driver whose eyes are extremely bothered by having to advert their gaze from the road till the offending oncoming vehicle passes. Likewise one has to flip their rear view mirror up when you have a vehicle behind you with these LED lights, but they still can be very disturbing as when said vehicle is fairly close their LED lights are reflected in my side view mirrors. Only thing for that is to change lanes, if another lane is available, to get away from that vehicle that is following. They should be illegal as they do affect other drivers.”
6/9/2021	“These bright headlights are such a problem for me, thus I find myself not even wanting to drive at night.”
6/9/2021	“I feel this is the right thing to legislate as well as have all Truck and SUV night lights angled down a bit more as they are also blinding at night and come level with my eyes in any car.”
6/9/2021	“These bright lights are a significant safety hazard”
6/9/2021	“pone en peligro el conducir en la noche porque la brillantez de los focos perturban la visibilidad del conductor que recibe el resplandor”
6/9/2021	“I thought I was alone in noticing this problem.  Glad to hear that my opinion is shared.”
6/9/2021	“I have stopped driving at night due to cars that have bright white lights.”
6/9/2021	“There are certain vehicles in which the headlights are blinding and cause unsafe and very annoying driving conditions”
6/9/2021	“I agree completely with the author and thank him for this petition.  I believe this sort of intense light that shines directly into the windshield of oncoming traffic and rear view mirrors of others should be illegal and changed in some way to dim their effect on other drivers.”
6/8/2021	“I have been saying this for DECADES, even more so now that I am a professional driver!What is worse is that many vehicles are sporting four or six lights.  I believe that many drivers do not realize how bright their lights are nor how to turn their “extra” lights on and off!Chevy, South Hadley, MA”
6/8/2021	“I’m signing because I still want to be able to drive at night, and the blue lights are blinding.”
6/8/2021	“Drivers can help reduce the blinding effects of their vehicle’s lights by turning off the fog lamps.  Some drivers don’t even know when these lights are on and they add to the light emitted from the vehicle.  At least 20% of drivers leave fog lamps on full time.”
6/8/2021	“We need to keep safety first on our roads  and eliminate the  hazards that can cause distraction, especially when driving at night.”
6/7/2021	“I’m signing because these blinding vehicle LED headlights including, halogen and HID lights are a blinding nightmare for me.  In particular, SUVs blind me when their headlights’ glare is reflected in my rear view mirror as well as, directly from oncoming traffic.  Automakers promote them as a safety feature when, in reality they pose a danger.  I find myself reflexively removing and raising my arm and shielding my eyes with my hand,  which further interferes with my view and further disrupts my focus.  Lexus and other luxury vehicles began coming out with LED lights in 2006 and in the past several years they are being pushed by most automakers because the cost of manufacturing of the lights has become cheaper.  As usual, it’s about the money and lack of regulation, quality control, and lack of training and know-how on using the proper installation kits and alignment of the headlight beams.   Especially aftermarket LED light bulbs, which are intended for off-road vehicles, not basic transportation vehicles.  W”
6/7/2021	“Older people are having a hard time driving at night since they released those headlight.”
6/7/2021	“I’ve literally had panic attacks driving at night faced with oncoming headlights.”
6/7/2021	“I’ve been struggling with bright lights for offer 10 years now – from oncoming traffic, rear view cars and stop/blinker lights.I want to ask to also advocate limiting luminance on traffic and road side lighting (such as signage and billboards).Furthermore, I would like to see after-market lights, typically meant for off-road use, banded for use on roads (such as the LED arrays on bumpers, grills, mirrors and roofs, as well as extra flood/beam lights).Lastly, I would like to see strong limits on the use of high beam lights, both through better driver education and stricter enforcement. There is an increase number of drivers using high beams, many of them turning those on by default as soon as they start their cars.”
6/7/2021	“I am constantly blinded by oncoming headlights, to the point that I avoid driving at night. This is ruining my social life!”
6/7/2021	“I’m signing because the headlights are blinding”
6/7/2021	“Number of high position lights shining right in on car drivers.Drivers license that will not lower their lights.”
6/7/2021	“I was surprised, but heartened, to find I wasn’t the only person to find the headlights coming at me uncomfortably bright! I thought before reading the NYT piece that it was just me.Let’s stop and reassess what we mean by “safety…” not being able to look where you’re going at night surely doesn’t fit the definition..”
6/7/2021	“Not only are extremely bright lights dangerous to the health of our population, but can cause a whole demographic of people to stop driving. For example, people with headaches and seizures are typically unable to drive due to the increasing bright lights that are being put into vehicles. The new Hyundai has 9 bright blue-white lights to “assist” people to see safer. We have road lights and if the area is too dark then we need more road lights. Today, while driving my child they had a seizure because of new brake lights on the vehicle in front of us that blinked in a strobe-like pattern depending on how hard the person was braking. These types of lights should be banned due to people being sensitive to light patterns and the intensity of lights. These types of bright lights and blinking should be only allocated for emergency vehicles.”
6/7/2021	“These lights are absurdly bright and make it hard to see- an accident waiting to happen. I hate them so much!”
6/7/2021	“Truck driver, and they’re too bright”
6/7/2021	“I am being “Blinded by the Light” Courtesy Bruce Springsteen and Manfred Mann. And those strobing bicycle headlights are blinding and dangerous. These lamps/lights need to be regulated.”

6/7/2021	“I drive at night and completely agree that this is an overlooked danger which  needs to be addressed.”
6/7/2021	“I find the brightness and glare from the newer LED headlights on higher-riding vehicles like trucks and SUVs to be overwhelming, and even dangerous. It can often cause drivers like me, in a conventional sedan-type vehicle, to have to avert our eyes.”
6/7/2021	“I am signing because this kind of new-fangled light has nearly blinded me on several occasions and NOW I cannot in good conscience drive at night.  Fancy for you [whoever you are who owns these lights] deprives me of freedom! Maybe someone out there can make some kind of lens that really neutralizes or diffuses glare might be the answer.  IF I am forced to buy new night-driving goggles, so be it.”
6/7/2021	“I drive a lot of 2 lane rural roads.It’s terribly blinding.”
6/7/2021	“I cannot drive on winding two-lane roads in Fairfax County, Virginia at night because on-coming vehicles blind me with their bright lights.  Enough is enough.  There are hundreds of highly paid automotive and lighting engineers who could resolve this issue if the government would mandate a solution.”
6/7/2021	“These lights are a danger to all other drivers on the road. How selfish can you get? Ban them!”
6/7/2021	“I have also been blinded by these after market high power LED lights.”
6/7/2021	“I am very sensitive to light making night driving nearly impossible. The risk of facing these headlights is dangerous for some as the extreme brightness causes a light blindness, possibly causing an accident.”
6/7/2021	“The macho 50% of Americans are blinding and deafening the other 50%.”
6/6/2021	“How did it get to this point?”

6/6/2021	“I hesitate to drive at night because of high-mounted bright lights behind me (I’m 70)”
6/6/2021	“I’m tired of being blinded by LED lights. I am afraid of getting into an accident because of it.”
6/6/2021	“Its dangerous to drive at night. I cannot see for the glare!!”
6/6/2021	“omg, finally – thank you! this has to stop.”
6/6/2021	“Being blinded by another driver’s headlights and possibly causing a car crash is the result of an industry that values looks and buyer appeal over safety. Past time this issue was fixed.”
6/6/2021	“I am blinded by these blue-white headlights. I am 68 and it’s making night driving harder. There was nothing wrong with the warm yellow-white headlights. Just drive the speed limit and you won’t out run your vision. Regarding safety, having all cars run automatically run headlights while running, day and night, would help tremendously.”
6/6/2021	“Each year, in the past few, my discomfort increases with the rise of SUVs & led lights; this is also a safety issue for older drivers, and therefore for everyone!”
6/6/2021	“The glare from headlights at night is extremely painful, and I have no choice but to drive at night. It’s ridiculous.”
6/5/2021	“The lights have an intense bright beam that hinders oncoming traffic from correctly viewing the road and hazards ahead of them.  The intense bright headlights are a road hazard with a good potential of causing accidents”
6/5/2021	“lights are waaayyy to bright!”
6/5/2021	“Oncoming vehicles with these lights blind me. They are not safe to other drivers. When facing these light often times I have to turn my head away from the road and or hold my hand up to try and block the light. None of this is safe and could easily cause a accident. I don’t state into the sun in the day time why would I want to stare at it in the night while I’m driving when it’s harder for your eyes to adjust.”
6/5/2021	“These too bright, badly adjusted lights are dangerous and I’m scared when I have to drive at night !!!”
6/5/2021	“I am rendered effectively blind for 3-5 seconds at a time by these headlights, and when driving on a two-lane highway at night, it is terrifying. It does not need to be this way.”
6/5/2021	“i have an SUV and cannot see when these pickup ups wit these type of lights come at me! I cannot imagine being in a car with these blinding lights coming at me. We use to have laws against these types of high intensity lights on vehicles, enough already!”
5/23/2021	“This is one rare case where government regulation can prevent an arms race between drivers.”
5/21/2021	“We’ve had the science on this for years: white LED lights reduce visibility at night. Whether they’re on cars, streetlights or buildings they are a safety and ecological hazard that need to be addressed. With great brightness comes great responsibility, something that most people have failed to show.”
5/16/2021	“I have nearly been run off the road by these LED headlights. They are so bright the edge of the road can no longer be seen. These are DANGEROUS.”

5/10/2021	“They are blinding and if you cannot see good enough to have normal headlights you dont need a license.”
5/1/2021	“It’s amazing how something dangling from your rear view mirror is illegal and “distracting” but these lights that cause you to not see the road are fine. People have these on during the day and they are brighter than daylight. The same people that are “pro-mask” are the same people nearly killing people with these lights.”
4/23/2021	“Mark Orlosky”
4/21/2021	“UNBELIEVEABLE that these blinding lights are legal! I have to wear sunglasses when I drive at night because of these dangerous lights. Or I have to look away when I drive. Please Please Please ban these lights! I assume they cause eye damage as well!”
4/21/2021	“I believe what Neela is fighting for is right. Bright lights do cause health problems”
4/20/2021	“Too much glare coming from the new car headlights l. It’s as if drivers have their bights on 100 percent of the time. This can’t be good for our eyes.   Light glare is distracting!”
4/18/2021	“Absolutely! Please get rid of these bright headlights. Especially within city limits, there’s just no reason why cars should have such bright lights. Also, SUVs and higher vehicles should definitely not be allowed to have bright headlights on city roads.”
4/16/2021	“Several bad experiences with this issue!”
4/10/2021	“I hate those lights! Even when not on bright they are blinding, rather in front or behind.”
4/9/2021	“I’ve almost wrecked a few times and I’ve had to come to a complete stop a couple of times. I cannot believe that these are even legal. I’m all for LEDs but some of these are way too bright.

3/15/2021	“These lawless blinding lights have been getting worse by the week since around 2011 AND we have still yet to slow down the corrupt and greedy automobile industry from making these standard on most ALL new automobiles.

3/4/2021	“I got into five accidents because of so much LED lights”
3/4/2021	“I’ve not had an accident Yet, though have had Many close calls due to being blinded by another vehicle’s headlights. Turning onto roads where a daylight car/s is coming is particularly dangerous as one is blinded when turning and as noted many times here by others, it takes a minute or two see clearly again. Even when sitting a light or stop, an SUV or truck with them blinds me from the Sideview mirrors, so I now wear sunglasses as night when driving. And ALWAYS drive with the review mirror in reflection position. I spoke with a couple of 18 wheeler truckers who won’t put them on their trucks because they find them dangerous too, and they even get blinded by their fellow truckers. For the last 2yrs I’ve thought about writing AAA and the FHA to see what their accident stats are involving daylight headlights. And lastly, talking with a young Nissan engineer about 5yrs ago, he said regarding Why the change to daylight headlights, “If we can save a buck, we will.” Manufacturers definitely need regulating and the”

2/21/2021	“Cant see a damn wink when someone with led headlights passes by”
2/17/2021	“I also find it dangerous because the blinding light blocks out other light coming from my rear view mirrors, making it impossible to clearly see other cars. This makes it very dangerous when changing lanes, or turning. It also takes my attention away as the brightness is painful and distracting.”
2/16/2021	“I’m signing because way too many times I have had to slow down and almost stop in the road because the lights coming up behind me or in front of me and blinding me and I can’t see the road.”

2/13/2021	“Ironically an avoidable dangerous hazard.”
2/10/2021	“It’s getting to the point where I need to pull over until it’s safe to continue driving. I also have a lot of trouble focusing and seeing on the road when they are behind me, forcing me to adjust my mirrors which is almost as dangerous as not doing so.

1/27/2021	“It’s time the DOT and Congress intervene as they did in the late 80s or 90s regarding headlight brightness. About 6yrs ago, I asked a young Nissan engineer Why the new bright blinding headlights; his reply with a smirk, “If we can save a buck….” These daylight headlights are extremely Dangerous. I, as do other friends, now wear sunglasses when driving at night in the city or on interstates. I also now always have the rear view mirror in “reflective” position, though that does NOT help if a truck or SUV is behind nor does it block blinding light in side view mirrors. With our US population getting older, blinding older drivers is hazardous to them and other drivers, as is the case for inexperienced young drivers. I’m also told by friends that replacing these horrible headlamps is incredibly expensive on certain high-end cars. Congress needs to ask. I’ll be writing Pete Buttigieg and President Biden.”

1/18/2021	“Because I’m tired of not being able to see when I’m driving. I’m doing this because driving at night I am blinded by the bright lights. I’m signing this also because I have a new teenager who will be driving who is already complaining while sitting in the passenger seat that they can’t see past the cars coming in are concerned for my safety and theirs”
1/18/2021	“I agree with this, but I am unsure what can be done to fix the problem. A large percentage of newly manufactured vehicles are produced with these lights. There are so many on the road today that were manufactured like that legally.  What do you do about them?”

12/23/2021	“It’s so bad that I get migraines any time I go out at night. It’s just not reasonable to expect everyone with sensitive eyes to never drive after dark or in stormy weather. These lights are so bright and disorienting that it can lead to premature vision loss!”
12/22/2021	“I drive country roads often where conditions can be challenging without blinding bright white lights causing temporary blindness. A lot of the time road lines are faded or nonexistent in foggy, rain or other inclement conditions on windy roads these bright white lights. That have become the standard instead of a exception create a perfect storm for close call situations. I can handle old school standard halogen lights even with their brights, but these new led style lights make it impossible for ANYONE to see and we must not take away vision from our drivers.”
12/21/2021	“It is so distracting and dangerous while driving and having these kinds of headlights blinding you! I have feared for my safety when I could barely even see the guide line to the right of my truck. Before these new LED lights became wide spread, that level of brightness was only used when your brights were on. There is zero reason for lights this bright esp when the majority of people drive in populated areas.”

12/11/2021	“I can  no  longer  participate  in society  because  of  how  sick I get  from  LEDs. Please  join  me  and  the  many  who’s lives  have  been  turned  upside  down  by  radiation  emitting  deathiodes in  the  fight  to  bring  awareness  to  the deeply  painful  and  life endangering  consequences of  the  lack  of  regulation  and  accountability  in  the  ‘lighting’ market.”
12/11/2021	“I can’t see at night with those blinding lights and it causes me to swerve and lose sight and once I gain my sight back another car comes with bright lights. It’s ridiculous. It’s dangerous. Something needs to be done. Stop fixing things that don’t need to be changed and focus more on things like this!!!”

12/10/2021	“Not only do these light make your side of the road not visible creating a safety hazard but if you’re like me they give you an instant pounding headache. These headlights are a nuisance and should be banned.”

12/8/2021	“I suffer from chronic Migraine Migraine and night blindness. I have to drive to and from work on very dark roads with these headlights either coming at me or coming up from behind. On very narrow country roads, it’s hard to look away and stay safe. It’s even worse when it’s on a work truck displaying two sets of these lights. Something has to be done about these lights before anyone else dies, and I sure hope  that someone isnt me.”
12/8/2021	“The LED headlights on these new vehicles and semis blind me so I can’t see ANYTHING. These ****ing things…I can’t even tell if they are on low or high beam they’re so bright. If I think someone’s halogens are on high beam but they aren’t and I flash them, and they flash me back…no big deal.  But if that happens with LED headlights and they turn on their high beams in retaliation it’s like being forced to look at someone welding without a helmet and my eyes hurt for hours after.Anything that damages your eyes and creates deadly conditions is not a headlight: it is a WEAPON. And that’s just what these LED abominations are. And they need to be BANNED.To anyone who says “people who hate LED headlights need their eyes checked”: if you need THAT much blinding light to drive at night, then you need YOUR eyes checked. And to everyone in the government who authorized this, take note. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU.”
12/8/2021	“These lights are extremely blinding, and also a threat and trigger to my health condition.”

12/6/2021	“Its blinding”
12/5/2021	“I have a hard time gauging the distance or speed of an oncoming car with LED lights. Not only because of the way it looks but also they are often blinding. Whenever a large truck with LED headlights is behind me, the lights reflect off of my rearview mirror and are painfully blinding. This creates scary and unsafe situations for myself and others on the road. I can only imagine how awful this is for those with strong astigmatism and light sensitivities”
12/5/2021	“I live in a dark sky city where outdoor lighting ordinances are enforced to preserve the night sky. This makes extremely bright headlights all the more dangerous in areas where there are no other light sources. I went out to run an errand around 7:00pm two nights ago and had to turn around and head back home after five minutes of driving due to the blinding lights of oncoming traffic which caused me to fear for my safety. Something needs to be done about this before serious accidents occur.”

12/4/2021	“Driving at night has started giving me headaches. Earlier I used to wonder what’s causing this but over the time I have realized it’s the bright lights from oncoming traffic in the new cars. I don’t feel this with the occasional cars having old halogen bulb yellow lights. There are many times that I had to look away to protect my eyes. I wonder how many other people are facing this”

I’ve dealt with these lights on two lane highways and it’s not a nice feeling, you pretty much have to brake and wait cause you cannot see anything.

1/6/2021	“I am about to do further research online, but it is already obvious to me that the headlights I am exposed to as a driver and as a pedestrian, in daylight and in darkness, hurt my eyes — in the same way that a glance into the sun hurts one’s eyes. And everyone to whom I have mentioned this problem has agreed that it hurts their eyes, too.  Someone has to take action immediately, as the damaging lights are becoming more and more prevalent on the road, and it looks as if the NHTSA is the agency to whom the task of saving our eyesight must fall.  It is interesting to hear that the excessively bright and blue headlights might be shown to be causing an increase in motor vehicle accidents — I find that highly plausible, based on the lengths to which I have to go in order to protect my eyes while driving.  And I am glad to hear that the American Medical Association has already taken a stance requesting that these damaging lights be banned.  I also want to point out that the great benefit touted for LED lights — r”

I am not often an irate person and rarely feel that my options should be imposed to the masses but when it comes to the topic of headlight brightness I am incredibly passionate and have even considered starting petitions of my own.

Most annoying situation which is becoming all too common: SUV or pickup truck behind me or just on the left lane super bright lights blind me through my side mirror. In that situation I have only one option: raise my hand to block the light, which means essentially that I cannot see what’s happening on the side, unless I accelerate or slow down so that they pass me.

12/9/2020	“Night vision is hard enough for some but add these lights to the mix and they truly are dangerous!”
12/8/2020	“Led lights are annoying”
12/8/2020	“These new lights are DANGEROUS!!!! IVE ALMOST BEEN IN A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE I COULDN’T SEE!!!!”
12/8/2020	“These blinding lights need to be illegal!!!”
12/7/2020	“I fucking hate led lights”
12/5/2020	“Tired of not being able to see when the LED headlights pass. They are gonna cause deaths.”
12/5/2020	“These lights blind drivers at night for several seconds and accidents are going to happen.”
12/4/2020	“I have difficulty seeing at night and these just make it worse.”
12/3/2020	“I can’t believe these things are allowed on the road. I can’t see anything for several seconds when they pass and it’s on many cars here.”
12/3/2020	“Can fuckin see cause this shit”
12/3/2020	“Can’t see cause this shit”
12/3/2020	“I hope…”
12/3/2020	“I hate the blinding LED headlights! It is dangerous for other drivers who don’t have them and annoying to be blinded by assholes who want to be boss of the road!”
12/2/2020	“I’m signing because I care about the well-being of the people.”
12/2/2020	“Return to normality! The bad light kills!”
12/1/2020	“I’m tired of being blinded by o. Coming g vehicles with bright lights.”
12/1/2020	“These lights are only beneficial to the person/person’s driving the car in which they are installed but putting other drivers in harm’s way”
12/1/2020	“This shit gives me headaches and as the bright lights get closer, my eyes can barely see the lines and what is ahead of me. And I have perfect eyesight, imagine what it’s like for someone with out perfect eyesight to see, other than blinding ass headlights, that of which are sometimes worse that other vehicles bright headlights.”
11/30/2020	“LED MUST be banned !!!”
11/30/2020	“Blinded by the light…”
11/30/2020	“Driving at night is difficult for me as is, without that blankety, blankety headlight glare………..”
11/28/2020	“My wife and have almost crashed multiple times cause of people with led bulbs.”
11/27/2020	“I agree that headlights have definitely gotten to an unsafe level of brightness over the years. More is not better when it comes to proper headlights.”
11/25/2020	“That shits too bright”
11/24/2020	“These lights are dangerous!”
11/23/2020	“My mother was killed by flash blindness while driving.”
11/23/2020	“LED lights are DANGEROUS!  I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been totally and completely blinded by them and couldn’t see where I was going but had to keep moving forward at the speed limit anyway because slowing down would have caused me to be rear ended.”
11/21/2020	“These are going to cause a while bunch of accidents. But then why should I bother signing, it’s just another tally for the government to add to population control.”
11/20/2020	“They are so blinding in front of you and behind you . It’s equal to hanging your brights on. What’s the difference ? None !”
11/20/2020	“I feel it affects all and it can cause accident”
11/20/2020	“These lights are too bright and blind on coming driver’s”
11/19/2020	“Dangerous in the extreme!!!”
11/14/2020	“These LED headlights are completely blinding and dangerous on the road!”
11/14/2020	“These lights are a hazard. Causing temporary blindness of other drivers and countless other problems that a light that bright presents”
11/11/2020	“These style lamps are far to bright and cause momentary night blindness.  They are just dangerous to oncoming traffic. Plus they are bright enough to blind you to obstacles such as narrowing verges and pedestrians on country roads at night.”
11/10/2020	“I’m signing because I’m tired of being dangerously blinded while driving. I’m for safety but safety for ALL drivers not just THE driver.”
10/30/2020	“As a professional class a cdl driver with over 30 years experience I’m surprised these blinding headlights are legal i am blinded consistantly at night to the point of almost crashing on certain sections of interstate and highway. Also so bright my eyes take time too recover these lights are gonna cause fatal accidents guaranteed”
10/29/2020	“Super super dangerous”
10/29/2020	“SHOULD BE ILLEGALABSOLUTELY BLINDING”
10/29/2020	“These are so bad for our vision & they are blinding at times, esp for those with less than perfect vision. Some do it just to annoy people (turn them on before its dark) while other cars turn them on automatically. Im sure they cause accidents, its like the blaring sun & at the LEAST are a huge safety hazard. Weve all had the regular lights, should stay that way”
10/27/2020	“I wasn’t aware of this blaring problem until my shift changed and I leave my house by 4:30AM.  Now that I drive through the dark every morning I am regularly blinded by cars.  This is especially bad on curvy and hilly side roads.  I thought some people were just driving with their brights on so I flased mine at them only to be assailed with their brights.It is so bad that I have to keep my sunglasses ready so I can put them on then take them off again so I can see without getting blinded.  These do it yourself LED upgrade kits should be illegal, especially since they often beam straight ahead instead of aiming downward towards the road ahead of the vehicle.  Trucks are especially egregious in this regard.”
10/24/2020	“I find it scary driving at night when I’m constantly being blinded by headlights that are way more bright than they ever needed to be”
10/22/2020	“- YESTERDAY- THIS HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE – Driving to a new workplace before daylight in a drizzling rain, no street lights, no visible road markings, tons of glare from oncoming hyper-headlights multiplied by the reflections on wet pavement made my visual acuity so poor that I turned into the near lanes of a divided highway… had to drive a half mile against traffic (thankfully sparse) before I found a paved crossover. This is not my first incident with hyper-bright LED blindness, just the latest. Even under ideal conditions I often can’t see turn signals next to the hyper-headlights. I don’t dare flash high-beams at a hyper-brights coming at me for fear that might be their low-beams blinding me.”
10/21/2020	“Bright LED lights are dangerous.”
10/17/2020	“Those lights get me dizzy and I was close to crashing and fainting”
10/16/2020	“Super bright headlights are dangerous. There’s no need for headlights that bright in a city or around other drivers. We have separate brights for a reason. Install them as your brights so you can have a lot of light when it’s actually necessary without blinding other drivers.”
10/15/2020	“LED headlights are blinding! Let’s get rid of a totally needless danger on our roads.”
10/14/2020	“I’m signing because on a daily basis, I am unable to use my side view mirror to check lanes when driving to work due to these lights. When the interior of your car looks brighter than noontime sunlight at 5:30 in the morning, it’s dangerous.”
10/14/2020	“the lights today are sooo bright they hurt my eyes and often trigger headaches and migraines”
10/12/2020	“I hate not being able to see well when driving and these lights make night driving terrible especially when it’s a new suv or truck that accidentally turned on their high beams on top of their annoying led lights”
10/8/2020	“Because when confronted with these lights,  I am temporarily blinded.   Not safe.”
10/7/2020	“This extreme intensity of brightness can’t possibly be necessary for the vast majority of driving situations. But this intensity and glare is dangerously blinding for oncoming drivers. Combine this with the huge popularity of SUVs and crossovers and these extremely bright lights seem to hit directly on eye level for drivers who are in passenger vehicles that sit lower to the ground. If the new, blinding lights are intended to be trained at the roadway, that’s not what’s happening. It’s very stressful – even for a very experienced driver in a familiar area – to simultaneously avoid the oncoming car, parked cars along the road – and, especially pedestrians and cyclists. This seems to be part of a virtual arms race – much louder horns, much brighter lights. And the drivers behind these lights don’t seem to realize the danger they are causing – including to the themselves. I don’t know what else to do other than slow down – and flash my brights briefly at a distance to try and let the oncoming driver”
10/2/2020	“Because they are dangerous.”
10/2/2020	“2018+ Toyota Corollas are still the worst here in Canada. All new higher trucks, and even Acura SUVs with their new LED units too.  What I won’t stand for are the new Jeeps with their LED lights in the driving lights and fog lights. It’s the most a-hole selfish thing I’ve seen. Worst than older civics with ebay bulbs.”
9/28/2020	“They are too bright and blinding. When they reflect on rear view and side mirrors  they are also a nuisance.”
9/21/2020	“Your improved vision is not justified at the expense of others on the road. Use normal headlights or don’t drive.”
9/18/2020	“I’ve been blinded 1 to many times.”
9/16/2020	“I have severe light blindness”
9/12/2020	“I feel extremely unsafe driving with LED lights flashing in my direction. It makes it incredibly difficult and painful to drive with those lights directly in my eyes”
9/7/2020	“I’ve almost been run off the road when cars with these bright blue lights come from the other direction. The glare seems to negate any potential safety benefit to the driver of the car with the offending lights. We have high beams that can be toggled on/off for a reason! The blue also scatters more, causing light pollution and potentially making it harder to see in fog or snow.”
9/7/2020	“Those lights  are blinding , in back of you, or coming at you. Dangerous !”
9/3/2020	“Don’t forget the damn smart phones and such. -signed, a sportbike rider.”
9/3/2020	“Those lights are blinding and have no place on public roads. Strictly off-road only!”
8/29/2020	“BLINDING LIGHT HURTS MY EYES!!!!”
8/27/2020	“I have almost ran off the road several times due to idiots failing to dim these lights. I hate meeting a car using HID. I took the HID headlights out of my housing as a courtesy to other road patrons.”
8/26/2020	“Excessively bright headlights have repeatedly made it to where I couldn’t properly see while driving at night, causing me to nearly run a stop sign one time and nearly hit a pole on another. Ban these pointless safety hazards! No one needs them!”
8/22/2020	“I have had to pull off the road when these are behind me – blinding and dangerous!”
8/22/2020	“These lights are blinding! I already have trouble seeing at night and these make it worse. It’s gotten to the point that if I don’t know exactly where I’m going, I can drive at night because of these lights! And I’m only 50!!!”
8/21/2020	“I find driving st night challenging when oncoming vehicles have high intense white LED lights”
8/21/2020	“I dislike large 4WDs behind me blazing these ridiculous lights in my mirrors.  They don’t focus well on the road, but rather spread light in all directions.”
8/18/2020	“I’ve been ran off roads numerals times from these bright lights. They prevent a normal ability to drive at night. But they include unshielded streetlights shining for blocks away into private residences. And…. spotlights on houses pointing up & off owners property. In turn, this prevents residents from being able to walk for exercise! Bright lights disrupt circadian rhythms of all living beings, even plants. It appears most citizens don’t care or perhaps just ignorant to the damage in process to this planet. Not to mention taking away our right to see the beautiful night sky. It’s no wonder so many children have no knowledge of science since the simple joy of viewing the Cosmos thru a telescope is non-existent in many cities & towns. We used to be able to drive to the countryside to see the night sky but with so many home owners duped into believing these bright LEDs are healthy, many have these lights with no shields or covers, sending billions of $$ wasted energy into the sky per NASA.”
7/30/2020	“Sick of being blinded at night and am concerned about safety on the road”
7/29/2020	“I work third shift and I HATE these lights!!!! They give me Migraines.”
7/10/2020	“I find myself often having to stop in the road because I cannot see where I’m going due to stupidly bright lights equipped on oncoming traffic. The simple view of regulating lighting by their wattage is no long accurate, those standard were set when filament bulbs were the normal. Compare the lumen output from a 35w filament bulb compared to a 35w LED. Also newer lighting has much much blue light spectrum which scatters and is harmful to health. I believe the colour temperature should also be controlled and limited to no more than 4700k”
7/6/2020	“I have to pull down a very dark filter to nearly completely block my view of the oncoming side of the road.”
7/1/2020	“These lights increase the risks associated with driving and cause RTCs.”
6/22/2020	“I am BLINDED by headlights when I drive at night. Those coming towards me, and those behind me. The LED lights that are a  blue hue should be illegal. The yellow hue is much easier on the eyes. I don’t often drive at night because of the extreme glare from headlights, especially those on new cars.”
6/21/2020	“save lives all lives matter”
5/31/2020	“This is very dangerous! Please fix this issue before more lives are taken for such a small problem”
5/31/2020	“Because I cant see when people use those bright blinding lights”
5/30/2020	“Lane Miller”
5/30/2020	“I believe these lights cause more wreckage and night blindness when I encounter these on the road I usually have to come to an almost stop when they pass me.”
5/30/2020	“Need to ban them”
5/25/2020	“We don’t need extremely bright headlights. Yes, we need headlights in order to drive a car, but they can’t be too bright.”

5/9/2020	“We need laws in America badly to fight the people that are intentionally playing games with their headlights.I’ve been a truck driver for better than twenty years and many people know what they are doing I have to use a laser pen to force people to turn their damn headlights down and in some cases they refuse or simply can’t because they have intentionally aimed their headlights too high. We Truckers are sick of it!!!The government allowed all this madness to happen they can fix what they broke.”

4/29/2020	“Led street lights #1 . No diffusers , the brightest blue light they can find . Just wrong . Also the flashing lights off emergency vehicles, once again, the rawest unfiltered brightest beam of light being shined directly into motorists eyes. Did engineers even go to college ?”

4/7/2020	“I am having to stop driving at night because the car lights actually HURT my eyes…PAIN…in my eyes.”
4/5/2020	“I hate these lights, they don’t need t o be so bright.”
3/30/2020	“Why is it acceptable for people to be color blind but not acceptable to be blinded by brighter lights?Very Simple Request ” TAKE A POLL” The poll I am getting is at least 40 % of the drivers don’t like seeing these new headlight coming at them.  Then why are GM Truck running light even brighter then the regular headlights?Why are jeeps interchangeable headlight low beam seam like they are full time high beams? Would it Kill our auto makers to TAKE A POLL to help protect the on coming drivers?”
3/29/2020	“I have photophobia (which is quite common), and the blinding bright white headlights is very dangerous. It’s not just the brightness, it’s the colour temperature of the whiteness.  Headlights are usually more a yellow tint, but these super white ones are dazzling and I’ve nearly crashed several times after being blinded by them.”
3/15/2020	“I agree with this 100%.”
3/13/2020	“I drive a medical transport at night. Constantly blinded from oem and aftermarket led lights.”

3/13/2020	“These LED headlights are a real nuisance and causing problems to eyes, they are blinding and even worse in suv’s and 4×4’s as they are higher up.. Nothing worse than a suv or 4×4 sitting close behind while driving and putting lots of pressure on as they blind you, it’s even come to the stage where I’ve got out my car had a few words..”
3/12/2020	“I have been at the brink of fatal accidents because of blinding headlights it should be prohibited !!!!”
3/12/2020	“They ARE dangerous! I am literally driving blind when a car with HID or LED is in front or behind me. I have a panic attack every time I have to drive in the dark because I can’t see where I’m going. Praying that I don’t run off the road and kill myself or someone else. We’ve gotten by just fine with normal headlights!!! Not everyone can afford the headlights or a new fancy car with them already installed. So the driver with death ray headlights can see 5 miles up the road but I can’t see a single thing, that just doesnt make sense. People in my hometown used to get tickets if they had the blue halogen lights, but now it’s a norm. It’s not a “safety feature” it’s a freaking safety hazard because one person is putting multiple people in danger and it’s getting rediculous. When you drive at night your pupils naturally dilate. And then when you pass a blinding light that looks bright as the sun, it’s painful! And then your pupils naturally try to contract and then you can’t see whats in the dark anymore. It’s si”
3/12/2020	“FIX FOR BLINDING LIGHTS HERE!!!   PAY THE JERKS BACK! MAKE THEM SEE HOW YOU FEEL!!! I HAVE HAD IT BEING BLINDED. I bought a 14×14 mirror with a handle and a hole at the end, I first stabilized the mirror on the flat part behind the back seat with some masking tape, it holds but doesn’t mess with that area , i threaded the string thru the hole of the mirror handle, then at the top of the back window i taped down a small U shaped piece of plastic to thread the string thru, then i looped the string thru the passenger above window handle, then thru my handle above my door, the string hangs down for me to reach, when a BLINDING vehicle gets behind me, i pull that string, the mirror goes up, and WAAAALLLAAAA that driver is blinded by his OWN LIGHTS.  They immediately go around me having no idea what hit them!!!!  So, this fixes the rear.  For the front i have a boat searchlight, i am careful to only blind someone at stoplights who are blinding me on the other side.  I can use this on rear drivers as well, but the m”
3/12/2020	“Read my response just above you, i have a fix for these rude idiots.  It really works, at least for the ones behind you.   These Bad LED lights are not factory installed, people buy brand new trucks and change the lights right after.  After begging lawmakers, i have taken this into my own hands.  More people need to, then the blinding light drivers will start complaining, it will be hilarious.  Paybacks.”

3/7/2020	“these lights are to bright”
3/6/2020	“I think all these new supersonic headlights whether factory OEM on new cars and trucks or aftermarket bought from the auto parts store, are extremely annoying and down right dangerous, I get almost completely blinded by mostly every other car or truck coming at me with those LED or projector style LED’s, takes awhlie for my eyes to recover, these new headlamps can’t be any good for anyone’s eye sight as well, it’s just ridiculous!”
3/6/2020	“This is definitely an issue for anybody. These LED headlights blind everyone and they aren’t any more effective than the old fashion headlights but instead all they are good for is blinding other drivers. Banning these headlights should’ve been done long ago”

3/2/2020	“Finally some much need attention to this.”
3/1/2020	“I was driving on a back road one night and was being tailed by a car with blinding lights so had to point my rear view down. Suddenly another car approached with blinding lights and I could not see the edge of the road and wound up in a ditch requiring road service, wheel rim repair and a new tyre. It could have been much worse. These lights also give me mild headache like lasers and I believe they should be banned and all production ceased with full scientific and medical investigation done.”

2/27/2020	“It is getting harder and harder to drive safely at night. In Nebraska, lots of people spend hours on the highway and I have almost been ran off the road meeting some of the vehicles with these lights.

2/23/2020	“So glad there’s a petition for this. Just within the past year or so this has become more noticeable and it’s becoming a big problem. They are so overly bright even when I’m not looking directly at them it seems like there’s a stadium light shining in my eyes. I have to use my hand to shield my eyes becuause the brightness is so harsh. I’m only in my 30’s and wasn’t expecting to have issues with driving at night for another at least another 20 years. It’s not just a problem with car headlights either. Some street lamps in my area have been upgraded to LED and the glare from those hurts my eyes while driving too.”
2/23/2020	“The new headlights greatly impact my night vision and create a hazard for drivers even if high beams aren’t used.”
2/23/2020	“I can’t tell you the number of times my vision got fucked because some guy went and installed bright ass LEDs on their headlights. Why these people aren’t charged with reckless driving or whatever is outrageous. Most all of them don’t even have the decency to get the lights calibrated to be tolerable on the road. It’s worst than getting tailgated, because atleast with tailgating I can fucking see”
2/23/2020	“I’m signing because I am constantly blinded by these headlights lately. These are dangerous. I have to choose between either being blinded when a driver with these lights is behind me, or seeing out of my mirrors because the only way to see is to adjust my mirrors so that they reflect the light away from me. But this means that I cannot see out of my mirrors! Not only are these lights blinding, but they are also extremely agitating and distracting. This is not only affecting seniors and those with vision impairments. I am 27 with pretty good vision and I am struggling to drive at night when these lights are behind me.”
2/22/2020	“I experience this everyday.”
2/22/2020	“Im being blinded to the point of danger.”
2/22/2020	“I am really offended by overly bright headlights. It’s hard to believe they are legal, considering how dangerous they are. I have to shield my eyes and hope I’m seeing enough to continue.”
2/22/2020	“Please ban all blue-light technologies on vehicles and keep tail-lights, brake-lights and turn signals at a maximum brightness no greater than that allowed for traffic signals.”
2/21/2020	“They are so dangerous with the extreme contrast at night, between the headlights in front, behind, maybe addl sides, you lose the grey areas…like pedestrians,  cyclists, scooters, skateboads, motorcycles, kids, dogs; even other cars nearby in your rearview disappear on a multi-lane road. Add rain at night. Glare from the wet road reflecting these beams at now more angles really fully blinding most ppl, for maybe small amounts of time but that’s all it takes for a person, dark winter coat, to step into a crosswalk.A lot of people dont feel safe driving, walking, cycling at night. I commute from city to suburb and it’s harrowing most nights. They are migraine inducing as well. So how many ways do these things need to be a menace before they stop putting them in these cars? Who is responsible for accidents being caused by these poorly thought out and hazardous headlamps?!”

2/21/2020	“The headlights, taillights, LED signs are blinding and dangerous. First responder vehicle lights are exponentially more bright. Unnecessarily bright at night. I’m afraid it will cause more accidents as people must look away in order to preserve sight”
2/21/2020	“These headlights are so dangerous. Gotten to the point I can’t even drive at night. They just totally blind you. People have survived with regular headlights for many years why do we need these things that are going to cause accidents?”
2/21/2020	“I can not drive at night any longer because of the outrageously bright headlights! If I do, I usually get a bad headache and I am sick of it! Bright headlights are dangerous and uncalled for!”
2/20/2020	“I am an optometrist. LED headlights are causing problems for drivers of all ages. In my younger patients the LED lights cause them to over focus and their eyes suddenly act a lot more nearsighted, in older eyes blue light scatters more than any other wavelength of light. See my journal article for further info: <a href=”https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/seeing-blue-the-impact-of-excessive-blue-light-exposure” rel=”nofollow”>https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/seeing-blue-the-impact-of-excessive-blue-light-exposure</a>”

2/18/2020	“I have regularly been blinded while driving passengers at work. And in my own vehicle. They are dangerous no argument about this fact. The end.”
2/18/2020	“I’m tired of being blinded and I don’t want to have an accident caused by said blinding. There are high beams and low beams for a reason… so you don’t blind people driving on busy streets and cause accidents.”
2/18/2020	“These lights are dangerous.  They literally blind me.”
2/17/2020	“I agree”
2/17/2020	“These lights are terrible.”
2/17/2020	“I’m one of thousands who no longer drives in the dark due to being blinded by modern car headlights on twisting country roads! I’m a confident and competent driver and feel I am sadly losing my freedom due to this  common issue. Lorries lit up like Christmas displays are a danger too as many drivers are distracted from concentrating on the road by their fancy lights!”
2/17/2020	“I’m signing cause I CAN’T SEE with these things glaring into my car. Even if you reposition mirrors they are still blinding and a total distraction.”
2/16/2020	“The headlight situation has become debilitating at times. If I get into an accident because of being blinded by the intensity of headlights, who is to blame? Will I be at fault? Will the car that’s pulled up behind me and hauls A— after I crash, will they stick around so I can get their info??? Hardly!!!What are we to do??? HOW HAVE THESE BECOME LEGAL??????”
2/16/2020	“If you buy a new car and don’t remove the new blinding ones you are part of the problem.”
2/15/2020	“Driving at night is becoming a dangerous ordeal. Cars headlights are too bright and i find i need dark glasses to dim the impossible non stop glare. Same foes for the red lights. It must be addressed.”
2/15/2020	“Nothing worse than blinding headlightsPlease ban the use of them”
2/15/2020	“These lights must be eliminated for the sake of public safety. The blinding brightness of these lights are typically as bad as high beams at night, only full time! Personally dealing with this at night on two lane country roads, is aggravating and so unsafe. It makes no sense for lights to be this bright, much less legal.”
2/15/2020	“I hate the white lights! So hard to see at night when they are coming at you!!”
2/15/2020	“Gloria Donaldson”

2/13/2020	“퓛퓮퓲퓰퓱퓪 퓜퓸퓻퓻퓲퓼퓸퓷”
2/13/2020	“How the use of these blinding lights on motor vehicles on U. S. roads was ever allowed in the first place is a huge miss / failure on the part of the government agencies meant to protect us. Their increasing use on tractor trailers cabs  – where the headlights are higher and therefore more blinding – make this issue even more urgent. And as an avid walker as well as driver, I have to cover or shield my eyes from oncoming traffic at night because of the insane intensity of these new lights. Let’s please roll back this technological advance to some kind of sane permitted national standard that doesn’t offend / disable oncoming drivers and other users of our roads.”

2/9/2020	“Incandescent bulbs are safe and have proven to be safe for many years LED bulbs blind incoming traffic and blind from behind perhaps the driver with the LED bulb can see better but the people around them have to have their eyes hurt as a consequence I could see these causing many accidents.”

2/5/2020	“These lights may make the 1 person driving the vehicle with them installed feel more safe but the other 50 or more cars that they drive past (oncoming) are blinded! I can’t count how many times i haven’t been able to see or had to squint or even close my eyes because the brightness is so intense. Or when they are behind me, the whole cab of the truck lights up and every side mirror and rear-view mirror makes it even worse, the lights hit me from everywhere!”
2/4/2020	“I have to drive every night in the dark and it’s awful if it’s a truck with these lights behind my car because then I definitely can’t see! These lights are horrible and should never have been allowed to be installed. Now Sylvania has a commercial talking about how great they are and it makes me want to scream”
2/4/2020	“These lights are a hazard.”
2/4/2020	“I drive to work each morning around 6:15am when it is still dark out.  Most mornings my view is obstructed or impeded by someone approaching me or following me with those dangerous LED headlights and it is especially dangerous in wet weather conditions when the lights reflect off of the wet pavement.”

1/29/2020	“HID & LED should be banned off our roads. A lot of the headlights on the vehicles are not properly installed and shouldn’t be over a certain amount of lumen in the lights of a vehicle. I would compare some vehicles like a Christmas tree, so much that they have up to 2 HID/LED headlights one above the other on each side and not to mention that they also have an LED string around them for decoration. These are just blinding for others.If they were low mounted like the Fog lights, it wouldn’t be such an issue but unfortunately we literally have to turn our heads away from the road when passing by. It’s like when you look up to the sun for a second and then try to refocus… we are clearly blinded. Nowadays, trucks, buses and pickups has them and they’re all at the face level because of the hight. Not to mention that when they follow you, the inside of your car is completely lighted up. They should be a law to make sure that the lights on each vehicle are properly installed and only by its manufacturer. The beam”

1/1/2020	“It is becoming increasingly difficult to drive at night, thus it affects my freedom.  In what universe is it safe to blind a driver in a car that is coming toward you.  Additionally, owners of these cars need to address the issue and have some empathy for those of us being blinded by their lights.”
1/1/2020	“Becoming dangerous”

2019
12/31/2019	“There are lots of old cars with new LED /HID lights too. These should be banned too.”
12/31/2019	“Headlights that bright can cause visibility issues as they are as bright as high beams.”
12/30/2019	“I cannot see the road when these headlights cone at me. At barely 65 I am looking at having to stop driving at night.”
12/30/2019	“Those lights are wack.”
12/30/2019	“LED is Dangerous for everyone! Especially people who are light sensitive! Please ban these on ALL headlights!”
12/30/2019	“I know what it’s like when your blinded by these led lights.”
12/29/2019	“I’m fed up with incoming traffic blinding me! I drive a sedan and I am highly frustrated when I’m blinded by taller vehicle’s headlights.”
12/29/2019	“I’m fed up with oncoming traffic blinding me! I drive a sedan and I am highly frustrated when I’m blinded by taller vehicle’s headlights.”
12/29/2019	“They are dangerous  and distracting.”
12/29/2019	“These lights cause blind spots and more accidents are occurring”
12/28/2019	“Like many others I am blinded by on coming vehicles with LED headlights, and I find it impossible to drive with those headlights behind me. Please ban these headlights for the safety of all on the road.”
12/27/2019	“These lights are awful!! I’m sure they’ve caused wrecks”
12/27/2019	“Not only are lights getting brighter but drivers are driving permanently at night on full beam until blinded back”
12/27/2019	“Don’t blind oncoming traffic!”
12/26/2019	“It’s dangerous”
12/26/2019	“Halogen headlights are going to kill somebody, someday.”
12/26/2019	“Pretty much anytime I am driving and a car that has these halogen light pulls up behind me I’m blind and unable to see the road or anything inside my car. They need to be illegal.”
12/25/2019	“Technology at times can be the enemy. LED lights not only blind you as the driver, but for me, give a massive migraine headache as well. You can’t even use the rear view mirror to darken at lights at night time as the lights are so bright, it does not work. I have to pull over and let them pass so that I can see.”
12/25/2019	“Technology is becoming the enemy. LED lights not only blind the driver, but also give me a massive migraine. The rear view mirror cannot even help darken the lights of the driver behind you, I have to pull over and let them pass in order to see. It is impossible to see deer crossing the road with the lights blinding you.”
12/25/2019	“Literally blinds me every time I’m on the road and when I see these bulbs. Not to mention the owners are usually pretty aggressive knowing that they have weaponized their car’s headlights against all other drivers since even without brights on, the lights are blinding. I was once flashed by an aggressive driver who owned either HID lights or LED’s and I legitimately lost vision while I was trying to operate my car because some cretin let his ego overpower his reasoning on the road.”
12/22/2019	“Those lights are ridiculous and deadly!!!”
12/22/2019	“The lights are too bright and the emergency vehicle’s are even worse”
12/22/2019	“I have always found it difficult to drive at night with the oncoming headlights blinding you”
12/22/2019	“Light pollution is ruining everything.”
12/22/2019	“I don’t like being blinded while trying to drive safely.”
12/21/2019	“Unhealthy unpleasant lights, LED streetlights are harsh and harmful and the ones on cars are a danger to driving.”
12/19/2019	“It is true.  As an older driver they do blind me at night.  Back streets are what I drive on”
12/18/2019	“I am signing this because these lights kill my eyes and I myself have a hard time driving when these LED headlights pass me head-on! Even during the daytime! These are dangerous and must be made illegal!”
12/18/2019	“Years ago, anyone driving at night could tell if a car had on their high beams or low beams. Low beams did not blind other drivers. High beams did. It was illegal to blind other drivers with high beams. What do we do today when all low beams are now HIGH BEAMS? Those who allowed this to happen must be identified. Who signed off on allowing low beams to become high beams? Thecar manufacturers could not put high beam lights on cars, and call them low beams, without legal authorization. We have recalls in this country when cars are made unsafe. Recall ALL HIGH BEAM CARS MASQUERADING AS LOW BEAM CARS! The science used to identify low beams vs. high beams has been seriously compromised. What ever happened to lumens? Is there no yardstick to quantify the illumination a car headlight emits today? Are we a nation of idiots? How many years has this been going on for? Why are we even talking about this today? Is this going to be a PERMANENT problem with no solution whatsoever? I am really tired of signing WORTHLESS peti”
12/18/2019	“It’s so hard to see the lines on the road when the lights are so bright. You can’t see anything. It’s so scary and I believe those lights cause accidents and should be band.”
12/18/2019	“I wear blue blockers throughout the day and have found they also work on the super bright headlights. Without them I find the lights extremely blinding, making it extremely difficult to drive. I think they should be banned globally. They also mess up our circadian rhythms.”
12/17/2019	“These types of headlights hurt my eyes and have impaired my vision so much so that I feared I’d drive off the road!!! They most certainly should  not be allowed my any means!!!”
12/17/2019	“I’m a retired aerospace engineer with 28 years experience in system safety engineer and management for DOD, NASA, Jacobs and Northrop Grumman. There is no “might be” with glare. Glare is a very well known Category I hazard causing “death or system loss.”The only two reasons allowing this to happen are incompetence or criminal behavior. Pick one and fix it.”
12/16/2019	“It’s getting generally harder and harder to see at night because of them. They create excessive glare, which makes it very difficult to see pedestrians, particularly in winter, when it’s dark most of the time and generally gloomy and rainy. I have stopped using my mirrors completely, which is itself disorienting and makes me feel insecure, but at least I’m not being blinded by the people behind me.  These things are becoming standard on more and more cars, and now we’re seeing them on large trucks, as well as Semis and delivery vans, all of which have much higher profiles than a car, which means it’s impossible to aim them so that they are both a functional light source and also not blinding to other drivers. To make matters worse, we are also now seeing police and fire & rescue vehicles equipped with them as well. These are “safety” vehicles; city owned and tax payer funded safety vehicles. The irony of HID headlights on a safety vehicle would be amusing if it weren’t outrageous. I hasten to add that they ar”
12/16/2019	“Glad someone has taken this issue on. Driving at night has became a difficult task. There needs to be a ban on led headlights.”
12/16/2019	“I have almost driven off of the road (mountain clifside roads in BC!! Not just little ditches) on more than one occassion due to oncoming traffic with these lights. Even in otherwise perfect driving conditions.”
12/16/2019	“Not quite so bright is a safety necessity.”
12/16/2019	“I’m a pedestrian and don’t want to get hit by someone blinded by these lights.”
12/16/2019	“I can’t see when it’s dark out and also never can see blinker with them”
12/15/2019	“They cause hazards to oncoming drivers who cant see!”
12/15/2019	“#banblindingheadlights”
12/15/2019	“I would bet that many accidents already have been caused by those dangerous blinding headlights!”
12/15/2019	“The lights have been hurting my eyes since their production in the market. Thank God for this petition.”
12/15/2019	“I want the NHTSA and The USDOT AND Transport Canada to ban Daytime Running Lights  (DRLs) because they do more harm than good, especially for those who are nearsighted and those with low vision impairments. DRLs cause glare for drivers in broad daylight, and it causes problems for people who forget to switch the regular headlights at night resulting in the rear taillights not coming on.PLEASE BAN DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS!!!!!”
12/14/2019	“These lights are very distracting causing me to not even want to look at a vehicle and see which way it is going which is obviously a dangerous reaction… But, I would like to avoid migraines and loss of my direction by looking at them. Please make them illegal!”
12/14/2019	“I want to be able to drive at night safely”
12/13/2019	“It’s is getting more difficult to drive at night as more and more cars have these overly bright headlights.”
12/13/2019	“LED lights are a huge hazard and impair drivers”
12/13/2019	“I am afraid to drive at night because of the glaring headlights on the other side of the road. It is extremely dangerous and frightening”
12/13/2019	“I’m tired of being dangerously blinded by these headlights”
12/12/2019	“I’ve had a run in with the insanely bright headlights.”
12/12/2019	“The lights are too dang bright!”
12/11/2019	“They are way too bright and can not see anything because of them”
12/11/2019	“Frustrating how bright some of these flashy car lights are, unfortunately it won’t be long before there’s more collisions on our roads, due to this issue.”
12/10/2019	“Please do something, these new lights are painful. I was behind an Escalade and the brake lights made my eyes so uncomfortable I had to look to the side. Seniors who are beginning to get cataracts will have acceleration of the condition. This is a crisis.”
12/8/2019	“Except for motorcycles and emergency response vehicles, there is absolutely no need for this kind of blinding presence.”
12/7/2019	“There is no real need for high intensity headlights. They are dangerously blinding on all vehicles, but particularly so on SUVs and pickup trucks. I used to enjoy night driving, but avoid it as much as possible now solely due to these ridiculously strong headlights.”
12/7/2019	“I’m concerned about safety and I hate these headlights!”
12/6/2019	“I sincerely support this campaign”
12/6/2019	“I hate these over bright headlights so much. They cause instant headaches for me. When I am on a two-lane road and vehicles with LED lights are coming at me I am completely blinded I cannot see my lane or anything else, it’s like drivers always have their brights on but even more intense.. These are so dangerous and we do not need this technology. Whoever  invented this and allowed it to be put in vehicles is an idiot and I find this grossly negligent, because it’s so blindingly dangerous for other drivers. Have you ever been in a car and then a high truck is coming at you with these hideous lights? you can’t see a thing. It’s bad enough when it’s just a regular car coming at you with the Hideous lights. The trucks are ten times worse because they’re higher and there is no escaping the light beam, and their headlights are generally larger than a car.There was nothing wrong with the old style headlights. Anything on that blue Spectrum should be completely banned. There should also be a petition to the automake”
12/5/2019	“ITS RIDICULOUS HOW BRIGHT PEOPLE’S LIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN. RIDICULOUS”
12/5/2019	“I’m sick of being blinded at night by ridiculous bright headlights that you can’t even see where the road goes!”
12/5/2019	“I can no longer drive on the open road at night, I find these lights absolutely blinding. As a father I refuse to drive on the open road after dark, in Otago that is before 5pm in fair weather, in peak winter. That sucks. ”
12/5/2019	“These lights are not safe nor are they necessary.”
12/5/2019	“These headlights are so bad!  They are blinding and should not be used for cars!”
12/5/2019	“Tired of these headlights blinding me wtf”
12/5/2019	“They blind me”
12/5/2019	“Ban LED brake lights as well. Enough is enough!”
12/4/2019	“Anything that damages our sight should not be allowed.”
12/4/2019	“I am startled by the glaring LED lights. Car headlights should not be a dangerous distraction”
12/4/2019	“Twice recently a large pickup truck was approaching with the blinding led lights on a windy back road I was traveling on. Both times I almost ran off the road due to being completely blinded. These lights are dangerous and worse than any “bright lights ” from years passed. The courteous thing was to turn them off when another car was approaching, but now these new LED lights cannot be turned off.”
12/4/2019	“I drive an older model truck, with the more yellow-white head lights. My truck is a normal height. It is a step up to get in and I am being blinded by small cars. I will flash my brights, so they will dim theirs, only to be flashed back, because they didn’t have their brights on. I am in my 20s, this is not an old person thing. And of course then you have the jacked up trucks with these new lights…. They may as well have their brights on all the time! I literally cannot see the lines on the road at night and I work until dark everyday. I know you are suppose to look away or at the white line, but I couldn’t see anything! Its so scary….Please help. I don’t want to become a statistic…”
12/4/2019	“These lights are dangerous.”
12/4/2019	“These lights are blinding, and it doesn’t feel safe on the roads”
12/4/2019	“These lights induce migraines for me. and during the winter months it is especially scary when I cant see the road ahead of me..”
12/4/2019	“It needs to be done”
12/4/2019	“I can’t see shit with them niggas and they headlights, I’m glad he can see lizards fuckin in a tree from 20 feet away but I can’t my own windshield with them damn shits”
12/3/2019	“The headlights are a danger to any driver regardless of age!”
12/3/2019	“Might as well be cornering with my eyes shut”
12/3/2019	“I personally have find myself squinting at theses coming at me and feel that they are unsafe”
12/3/2019	“I like my rods and cones.”
12/3/2019	“These blinding headlights are dangerous!  Please ban them right away!”
12/3/2019	“It is really difficult to see when blinded by HID and LED. There is NO better light for driving than halogen.”
12/2/2019	“They blind ME!!!!”
12/2/2019	“Enough with the excessively bright headlights on cars. They are dangerous.”
12/1/2019	“Night time driving is potential dangerous with LED lights on cars!”
12/1/2019	“Night time driving is potential dangerous with LED lights on cars!”
12/1/2019	“I would love to see something like this become law!”
12/1/2019	“The new bright headlights are worse than someone with brights on. I am constantly traveling, and am,blinded at least 3 times every night I’m,on the road. I have have prescription yellow tinted glasses and they only take away a tiny bit of the pain my eyes feel,when confronted. These things are dangerous.”
12/1/2019	“These headlights are dangerous.  They will kill people.”
12/1/2019	“It’s hard enough to drive at night or when it is raining!!! What’s the purpose!?”
12/1/2019	“Too damn bright! There’s no need. And people drive with their high beams on too. Tell them to get a clue! Dangerous!”
12/1/2019	“The DOT and police depts could make five times as much revenue from ticketing people with these headlights than they could speeders-! Please do something, it’s very bad here in Florida.”
12/1/2019	“Common sense says these lights are dangerous but the idiots at NHTSA don’t care for passenger safety.”
11/30/2019	“They are blinding”
11/29/2019	“These lights are horrible and cause you to be blinded at night in both directions and causing people to almost drive off the road in the dark due to people getting blinded! These need too band!”
11/29/2019	“As someone who bikes at night I want to share these are not only blinding to me, the person who has to take care not to hit obstacles that can cause me to fall or end up in the road, but actually painful and sometimes nausea inducing for those of us with sensitive eyes.”
11/29/2019	“I don’t like the bright lights.”
11/29/2019	“Having Epilepsy alone makes this unfair!!! Ad in someone w/  a brain injury, autism, even overstimulation & we cannot function. I don’t know how this is ok & legal. Pleaseeeee no more of these lights”
11/28/2019	“These things are as much a driving hazard as cell phones”
11/28/2019	“It’s getting ridiculous out there. It’s also getting dangerous. Something needs to be done or there are going to be a lot more accidents.”
11/28/2019	“The led headlights are way too bright and can cause me to have a migraine.”
11/28/2019	“These new lights are dangerous. Not too many years ago you would get a ticket for having high beams on when approaching on coming traffic. Today’s lights are so much brighter than old high beams, and more lights on the the new vehicles. Who needs four lights on one side of the car? Yes, eight lights in my rear view mirror. These need to be banned.”
11/28/2019	“Photosensitive”
11/27/2019	“Because LED headlights are blinding and most drivers who use them also use fig lights which are also LED- making it hard to focus in the rain or darkness- they also tailgate with them in our rearview mirror- they need to be banned-“
11/27/2019	“As a pizza guy I drive a lot and these leds gotta go!!”
11/27/2019	“These lights are blinding and terribly dangerous, not to mention unhealthy for the human eye.  They should be banned in all forms”
11/26/2019	“I’m signing because I’m happy that they can see better. But can they see me DRIVING OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY BLINDED ME?????”
11/26/2019	“These lights are very dangerous even in daylight! They totally blind the driver in the oncoming  car and they are so bright it remains in your eyes like you’ve looked at the sun too long. Hideous invention.”
11/25/2019	“The headlights have become so bright, they are now a distraction and hindrance.”
11/25/2019	“They are dangerous”
11/24/2019	“Might also reduce light pollution so we can see the stars that are also blocked from our vision”
11/24/2019	“I struggle to see every time I have these lights coming at me from the opposite direction.”
11/24/2019	“They are so blinding ! That can be dangerous”
11/23/2019	“I’m signing because I have been noticing the past few months that I’m being blinded by these new fangled headlights. At first I thought these were high beams, but then I realized that they are different and much more bluish. IT makes a significant difference to me because I often drive on 2-lane undivided roads.”
11/23/2019	“These lights kill my eyes for night driving that I’m afraid to get into a wreck. These lights blind me to where I can no longer see”
11/23/2019	“These lights should be banned! I’ve had to slow to almost a stop numerous times on two lane roads because of these lights. I hate driving at night now.”
11/23/2019	“Driving at night is already difficult. Blinding lights on two lane roads are a nightmare and extremely dangerous. If it’s raining, even more.”
11/23/2019	“With my sunglasses on during the day, the LED lights on cars are still brighter than sunlight reflected off chrome on cars. This is with my sunglasses on. These lights must be damaging to young people’s eyes at night when they have no light protection glasses on. I envision a class action lawsuit in the near future.”
11/22/2019	“They blind you when coming torge you”
11/22/2019	“Have to be at work early in the morning and live in the country . I’m always looking for deer and when an oncoming car has these lights I can’t see anything after passing and if there are following me it’s so bright I have to move all my mirrors just to be able to see what’s in front of me.”
11/22/2019	“Highway driving is not so bad. But on dark country roads its impossible to see when a car comes towards you… if there is someone with bright lights behind you it’s even more dangerous, and its getting so much worse.”
11/22/2019	“I’m a migraine sufferer and it’s already hard to drive at night, but these horrible things are making me consider giving up night driving entirely. That would have a huge negative impact on my life, including possibly costing me the part time job that allows me to live a better life on disability and makes me feel like a contributing part of society. Adaptive glasses with my special prescription would be very expensive. It’s backwards to expect people to spend money they don’t have or sink deeper into poverty to adapt to these dangerous lights.”
11/22/2019	“it is required.”
11/22/2019	“Yes please let’s save some lives by saving our vision!!”
11/22/2019	“Of my friend and myself”
11/22/2019	“because it an accident waiting to happen for the other driving in the opposite direction. if it hadn’t happen already !”
11/22/2019	“This affects me”
11/22/2019	“Its blinding at night and could cause seriuos accidents”
11/22/2019	“These awful things should have never been approved by the National Highway Safety Institute. They are way too dangerous!”
11/22/2019	“They are a dangerous product!”
11/22/2019	“Light sensitive eyes and there are certain headlights that cause lasting difficulty with focus.”
11/22/2019	“I used to enjoy driving at night. Not anymore. The LED headlights are the main issue. HID lights never bothered me at all. There is something about the intensity and the color temperature of LED lights that just kills my night vision and causes so much glare. This is even worse on pick up trucks or some SUV’s that sit higher than passenger cars. Have one pull behind you at a stop light and their lights are shining directly into your back window, blinding you by the rear view mirror. The Feds should require that all headlights be at a maximum height no matter how tall the vehicle is to prevent this scenario. More people will die on our roads until this issue is resolved.”
11/21/2019	“They are very blinding and need to be banned.”
11/21/2019	“The headlights are that bright I cannot see its sometime hard to make out if they are on full bean or not! They are so dangerous both in the opposite direction or when a car is behind you with the headlights on.  I believe these need to be banned!”
11/21/2019	“My eyes aren’t what the use to be. Those lights are blinding and cause headaches”
11/21/2019	“I agree! I hate these blinding blue lights. They should be banned from normal use.”
11/20/2019	“I struggle driving at night because of led lights.”
11/20/2019	“The new chilling white headlights need to be removed from the roads please.  I’m getting blinded from the front and also from behind me as well.  Yes.  They look very crisp and very cool.  I’m sorry though; some things seem good but just don’t work for the application.”
11/20/2019	“I believe they are dangerous to oncoming traffic  especially in wet weather”
11/20/2019	“These headlights are terribly dangerous and cause great anxiety in drivers.”
11/20/2019	“THEY ARE BLINDING! It’s entirely unnecessary and thoughtless. A pox on the inventor!”
11/19/2019	“I never had a problem with the old lights. Now the new led lights cause me to have photo sensitive seizures. Thank you for petitioning for change.”
11/19/2019	“These are unnecessary and dangerp”
11/19/2019	“These lights are extremely bright for no reason, it isn’t necessary. They blind and disorient drivers”
11/19/2019	“My wife gets ocular migraine whenever those blinding LED headlight shines her way. It also blinds me to the point I’m lucky I don’t go off the road or hit anyone. Those LED lights are dangerous!”
11/18/2019	“Something needs to be done to monitor the brightness of these lights, which are more piercing – especially when surrounded by darkness.  It’s getting to the point that you can’t drive at night because of being blinded by oncoming lights.  Brake lights are too bright (combined with too many) also!”
11/17/2019	“Lights are too bright. Dangerous”
11/17/2019	“I’m signing because I’m SICK of these new lights blinding me while driving at night!!!! They are FAR too bright and the idiot who came up with these lights should’ve known that they were far too bright to use!”
11/17/2019	“Evidence is mounting about the dangers if excessively bright, harsh, glaring artificial lights in our environment, especially after dark.  Industry won’t act until officials pass legislation to make them do so. Officials must listen not only to the science (which takes time to do properly), but to the experiences of ordinary people who suffer the effects of excessive lighting. Instead of waiting for years or decades for the epidemic to be proven (like with smoking), act now, and save the thousands of lives that are lost needlessly every year.”
11/16/2019	“I cant see in the dark very well. And when these headlights come at you I TEALLY cant see”
11/16/2019	“These lights blind you even when they drive behind you. They cause me to see spots when they shine in my rearview mirror and I have to drive with the mirror angled down.”
11/16/2019	“Also,if it is against the law to drive closely to another car with high beams on why are these allowed?”
11/16/2019	“Also,if it is against the law to drive closely to another car with high beams on why are these allowed?”
11/16/2019	“I’m signing because I can’t see when people forget to turn the high beams off and I’m blind it’s not safe.”
11/15/2019	“I just drove two nights across the Nevada and Arizona deserts on two lane highways 93 and 95.   The glare from headlights of many of the oncoming vehicles, both cats and semi trucks, was nerve wracking.  Three times I was temporarily blinded as they passed me.  I had a headache when I arrived in Las Vegas that stuck with me to Phoenix.”
11/15/2019	“Those lights are dangerous. Too bright, they actually blind you, when they sign in your face while driving”
11/15/2019	“I’ve been doing a lot at night driving lately I have to for work since we have our shorter days.  And my eyes are really bothering me and it’s been difficult driving the hour and 15 minutes three nights a week.  There is going to be more car accidents because of it that’s for sure.  Never mind it harming your eyes I don’t want my eyes damaged because I have to drive at night.”
11/14/2019	“When I first started seeing these headlights, I thought, “What the heck??!!!??  I thought that was illegal!!!”  I still most emphatically think they should be.  I used to hate them because of how horrible they are when someone is approaching you from the other direction.  Then I drove a loaner vehicle that had them, and discovered that I couldn’t see properly as the driver, either!  Why does ANYBODY buy these cars?”
11/13/2019	“I don’t enjoy driving at night anymore because of all these awful headlights from high-end cars and kids putting ultra-bright LED/HID lights in their cars. It’s a distraction and danger to all drivers on the road and I’ve wondered why DOT has sat on their asses doing nothing about it??”
11/12/2019	“most new mercedes are awesome and have some of the most non blinding lights I have seen.”
11/11/2019	“I agree with a complete and outright ban of LED and other blue-light headlamps and tail lamps on all moving vehicles (cars, trucks, vans, etc.)  I also agree with another signer–if a person can’t see properly at night with normal headlights, he/she shouldn’t be driving! Get off the road!”
11/11/2019	“I am an optometrist. Patients tell me they are bothered by these lights EVERY DAY! I am so happy someone is doing something about it, I will share will all of my patients and colleagues. These lights are a public safety issue effecting everyone, not just the elderly.”
11/11/2019	“I had a horrible drive home from Oakland down the 5 to LA. I was getting blinded from all directions (rear view mirror, side view mirrors, even some oncoming (despite there being a large median). I have a pounding headache today and find the general lack of concern about this to be alarming. Responses like “drivers will adjust as this becomes more common” is such capitalist b.s. These lights are terribly dangerous and unnecessarily bright. I don’t think we need to go back to a world of solely halogen lamps but I do think we need to adjust the legal allowable lumens. It’s like I’ve been seeing flashbulbs for the last 12 hours.”
11/11/2019	“Also, I’m 34 so this ageism around who is affected is ridiculous. I would hop on a class action about vision impairment due to these lights in a heartbeat.”
11/10/2019	“I believe this impairs other driver’s ability to drive safely.”
11/10/2019	“Led headlights are an absolute menace and should be banned by authorities if they are really interested in public safety.”
11/9/2019	“Fuck bright lights”
11/9/2019	“LED headlights are making night time driving less safe.”
11/9/2019	“I used to be upset with the consumers who are  naïve  and driving dangerous cars.  The problem are the manufacturers.  I am now going to start a list of manufacturers and model vehicles that are dangerous for the road:Ford F-150 Platinum 2020”
11/9/2019	“Fuck bright headlights”
11/8/2019	“I work as a delivery boy. Whenever I work dinner shifts and it starts to get dark it becomes near impossible for me to see where I’m going due to LED headlights from on coming traffic blinding me”
11/8/2019	“Seventh Angel Care Revelation 10:7 / 11:15”
11/8/2019	“I am all for bright headlights and being able to see well in the dark, but being blinded by these lights is ridiculous. There needs to be higher standards for bright lights. For example, cars that have really bright HID or LED headlight systems need to have auto dimming feature installed, dim the lights when ambient light is high enough. We do not need SUPER BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS when driving in the city most of the time, the new LED street lights provide enough light as it is. When driving on dark roads though, all cars should be equipped with auto dimming or auto aiming headlights so they do not blind oncoming traffic.”
11/7/2019	“I commute to school every morning. I cannot see even in broad daylight with these headlights because of the intense glare. They shouldn’t be allowed.”
11/6/2019	“These light are blinding when you come upon them on the road or behind you.”
11/5/2019	“I hate these blinding lights!”
11/5/2019	“I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling like these overly bright lights are impairing my vision.”
11/5/2019	“This is an unnecessary problem since LED lights can be any wavelength or color temperature based on filters around the source.”
11/5/2019	“I agree 100%”
11/5/2019	“These headlights are hazards!  Get them off the road, please.”

11/4/2019	“There becoming more an more dangerous , especially to elderly folks”
11/4/2019	“I’m signing because this is incredibly true and sadly so. I had to give up driving at night because of these blinding headlights. When the transition from daylight tonight is coming it’s even worse.  Several times since the beginning of using these headlights in cars over the last years I have almost hit pedestrians. I now stop in the middle of the road at night when a car is blinding me with its headlights because I would rather have somebody angry behind me then hit somebody. That’s a horrible way to live and this has to stop.  The AMA gave these guidelines so many years ago and they have been totally ignored. It’s unconscionable that so many people are complaining and that no one is doing anything about it. I doctors have told me that the lights are blinding. They feel helpless because nobody is listening. We cannot stand for this. It could be one of your loved ones that gets hit and then what will you do? You won’t be able to turn the clock back and you will live with that forever”
11/4/2019	“I drive with Uber and Lyft in my retirement. Some of the headlights I encounter are outrageously, blindingly and absolutely unnecessarily bright!!”
11/4/2019	“These blinding lights are just overkill. They are not needed.”
11/4/2019	“I like to prevent undo trauma of accidents due to blinding head lights!”
11/1/2019	“Time to MAKE THESE LIGHTS a thing of the past! They are WAY toooo BRIGHT and impedes the driver heading towards it.”
11/1/2019	“You really can’t tell if they have their bright lights on or not, and they really do not care that they are blinding drivers.”
11/1/2019	“They also negatively affect people just walking on the road. If a driver gets blinded he/she may not be able to see the person walking on the road. It has happened to me several times already.”
10/30/2019	“Yes!! Please, please, PLEASE, write requests to initiate legislation to your state senators and representatives – I did.Part of my letter – please use this first sentence in your letters to them or something similar: This morning, a person was behind me and even just a short glance before covering my eyes, I has a bright spot appear in my field of vision that made it very difficult to see the road or anything else. I am only 58 – as I get older it will multiply this problem.”
10/30/2019	“Too bright vehicle lighting is not only dangerous but also just a general nuisance to other drivers and anyone else near roads, driveways, and parking spaces wherever there are vehicles.  The bright lights ruin the outdoor experience.  What a shame.  Too bright vehicle lighting is part of a general trend of too bright lighting everywhere, from digital signage, to flood lights, to LED interior lights that can be seen a great distance through windows, TVs in windows, places of business, outside, and high intensity  LED tower strobe lighting that ruins vistas.  We are facing  an assault of bright lighting.  I hope people join and form strong activist organizations that will fight bright lighting.  We are also facing an onslaught of rising noise pollution everywhere. Many technological trends are adding stress to our lifes and reducing the quality of life and outdoor living.”
10/30/2019	“LEDs should be banned!! and only the AMBER daytime running lamps should be used on all cars, trucks, and buses (including school buses) during daylight hours.”
10/29/2019	“They are a hazard and are a cause for the up swing in deadly wrecks in the last 2 years. They should be banned!”
10/28/2019	“I have nearly gone off the road countless times due to the blazing glare of the new hot white headlights. Particularly in rain they are a terrible hazard. They aren’t necessary for seeing the road, and they should be banned.”
10/28/2019	“Bright white head lights are blinding and dangerous.”
10/28/2019	“They are blinding!!!”
10/27/2019	“I’m signing because halogen headlights are completely blinding. The rest of us should then use our high beams at all times to compete to see the roads at night.”
10/27/2019	“As a roadway lighting professional, glare is the most underrated metric in design. Blue light glare is real but difficult to measure because it’s effects are different per person. Older people are far more susceptible to blinding glare because as we age our eyes’s corneas become less clear and the blue light scatters passing thru the eye just like it does in rain, or fog. The blue scattering is called “Rayleigh scattering”.  Car headlights are the worst offenders, but they should also look at warmer street lights (3000K CCT or less). The scattering effect is much more noticeable in inclement conditions (rain fog snow), but unfortunately the visibility studies are typically done in perfect conditions.”
10/27/2019	“I hope to see that ALL LED and HID headlights on ALL vehicles – No Exceptions – become banned and illegal. They are blinding and endanger lives.”
10/27/2019	“I too have been blinded by them”
10/27/2019	“Because these lights are terrible and are blinding.”
10/26/2019	“These lights are dangerously bright and need to be limited.”
10/26/2019	“because I am a night protector and know very well about the shortfalls of blinding blue light. This really needs to be banned.”
10/26/2019	“Due to the fact that blinding oncoming traffic is more dangerous than driving in the dark ! It’s way past time for these so called safety agencies do their jobs and that includes setting a maximum height for headlamps on ALL vehicles which should be no higher from roadway than 17 inches.”
10/26/2019	“This is extremely dangerous especially with raised pickup trucks that have not had there lights readjusted. Even more for me as I am 82 years old.”
10/26/2019	“I’m tired of being blinded by mega bright headlights! I almost went into the opposite lane a few nights ago from lights blasting me in the face! I hate going out in the evening at all anymore!”
10/26/2019	“These headlights blind me from the opposite direction, especially at night and when they reflect on wet road surfaces. They also blind me from behind too from high profile pick-up trucks. I have to duck below the glare to see out my front windshield. I use my headlights during the daylight, mostly out of habit. What irks me more is idiot drivers that don’t use headlights in the rain, snow and fog despite local laws requiring them. Imagine the enormous amount of traffic tickets police could write not using headlights.”
10/25/2019	“The glaring headlights make it harder to see and make my migraines worse.”
10/25/2019	“Standards for vehicle lighting has not kept up with the lighting technology. Spectral changes in light emission, intensity, and the sharpness or transition between full intensity and no light have all changed dramatically with HID and LED technology and need to be addressed. Drivers are experiencing persisting blindness post encounter with head on traffic that has HID or LED technology.”
10/25/2019	“A little enforcement of the already-existing laws making it illegal to sell or use LED replacements for incandescent headlight bulbs would be nice.”
10/25/2019	“In rural areas where it is totally dark the fully dark adapted eye is especially vulnerable”

10/25/2019	“Some of these LED and HID lights are too bright”
10/25/2019	“Lights that suppress melatonin are a very GOOD idea, but no lights should be too bright. I have been temporarily blinded by headlights in spite of my best efforts. Some lights are simply too bright. When I can’t see, I panic.”
10/25/2019	“They are dangerous”
10/22/2019	“They should either be banned or have an annual inspection of the lights to ensure they are aimed at an angle that wont blind drivers. It’s a specially impactful when it’s a taller vehicle.”
10/22/2019	“I’m absolutely sick of being blinded by head lights, if it’s illegal to drive with your high beams on, then why are these lights that to me seem brighter then high beams legal?!?!”
10/22/2019	“Led lights are absolutely ridiculous how are the brightness of them legal”
10/22/2019	“I drive a lot at night, and these obnoxious blue headlights are blinding and dangerous. We need to outlaw them and require manufacturers to switch to more yellow spectrum leds that are easier on the eyes and do not scatter light as much.”
10/21/2019	“I detest those LED headlights since they do nothing blind everybody especially when it is raining.  They should have never been made for vehicles in the first place”
10/21/2019	“Absolutely BLINDED from FRONT and REAR…!”
10/20/2019	“I rear ended someone last Sunday, due to two improperly adjusted headlights. I look away and it still didn’t help anything. I have been complaining about it for a while and everyone says: “Oh, you’ll get used to it”. WELL I AM NOW!”

10/18/2019	“Such headlights create a dangerous and hostile landscape for other drivers and pedestrians.”
10/17/2019	“I too have been totally distracted by those LED lights front and back, during both daylight and night time driving.. They are absolutely distracting and one would require a pair of special glasses to minimize the glare that these LED lights create.”
10/16/2019	“I was blinded by super bright headlights the other night . The road was wet . The other driver was speeding too. I yelled to my son that I could t see and almost went down a embankment into a river . He never once dimmed his lights !!”

9/26/2019	“Simply had enough of being blinded by these ridiculous lights and I feel bad about directing my wing mirrors to reflect straight back at the driver behind even though they should back off or lower their beams.”
9/24/2019	“Fuck those lights”
9/22/2019	“It’s effecting my eyes, I have to drive at night with sunglasses because the car lights are piercing”
9/21/2019	“These new headlights are distracting, dazzling and dangerous. They need to be regulated and permitted brightness needs to be reduced to a safe level.”
9/20/2019	“Almost got Into an accident today, please ban these bright led lights”
9/18/2019	“I am signing this because these bright headlights burn my eyes when they are coming towards me. If I have been on a dark road they come around a corner and my eyes don’t have time to adjust. They are making our roads less safe.”
9/17/2019	“How are these “safer” if I’m blinded to the extend that I cannot see ANYTHING!! They are ridiculously bright even during daytime. Apart from what should be the obvious blinding danger of these things, their sharp cutoffs, bouncing around in and out of sight increases stress and anxiety. It’s no different to having a laser flashed in your eyes. I now avoid night driving – even walking at night has become an annoying experience. I truly wish those in charge would DO SOMETHING!!”
9/16/2019	“These lights give me a migraine.  Very dangerous, have to look away.  These horrible headlights just caused a horrible accident with 2 young students being killed because the driver had to swerve away from the blinding oncoming headlights.  Ban them completely and go back to the normal headlights please!!”
9/15/2019	“Because I have migraines and these horrible lights are one of my triggers, and they are so bright I can’t see the road even if the lines have been recently painted. I’m fine with normal lights, but these HID hazards need to go. I hope this ban extends to gas stations and any lights visible from the road.”
9/11/2019	“If i cant see behind me to merge safely on the highway because some asshole in a truck tailgating me has illegal headlights, then i shouldnt be held responsible for an accident that happens because of it.”

8/20/2019	“I like to drive without being blinded”
8/19/2019	“I drive at night delivering newspapers for 3 hours a night, I get home and my eyes feel like they’re burning. I’m sure it’s damaging my retna. If someone was to walk in the street, or a deer,I would never see them because of the blinding light,also have my review mirror facing the right,so behind drivers don’t blind me,which makes it useless.Going to the eye doctor soon for a exam to see if it’s damaging my eyes.These LED headlights have got to go!!! I can guarantee law suits will start soon.”
8/16/2019	“Because these super bright lights are out of control & enough is enough already!”
8/13/2019	“They are a danger. I am constantly blinded while driving.”
8/13/2019	“They are extremely dangerous !!  So blinding, when you try to look off so to keep control of your vehicle, YOU almost run off the road.  They ARE NOT. necessary”
8/13/2019	“LED headlights literally make the road disappear when a car with them drives towards me with them on. It doesn’t even have to be pitch dark for me to be blinded either. Car headlights need to be regulated and tested. There’s research that proves LED lights damage the retina of the eyes…. When we drive at night, the lights shine directly into our eyes, as we have to look straight ahead at the road ahead, so we cannot avoid them shining into our eyes! This is dangerous and really needs to be looked at!!! Thank you for creating this petition <3”
8/4/2019	“Everyone I’ve discussed this with has had the same experience of being blinded by oncoming headlights at night.”
8/2/2019	“I have had many close calls because of those headlights I think they should be banned”
7/27/2019	“While I am driving I have to shut my eyes against these solar flares and hope I do not have an accident. Even in broad daylight. These diabolical people who put these on the market and continue to do so are CRIMINAL and they just get away with it.”
7/27/2019	“They blind me”
7/25/2019	“yes, that’s me. if you have those bright LED lights in your car and you drive by me I’m turning my hi-beams on full blast to burn your eyes out of their sockets and give you a taste of what you’re doing to me. Anyone who is ignorant and selfish enough to drive a car with those invasive lights deserves nothing less than that, and no apologies!”
7/18/2019	“I almost drove off the highway in the Mississippi Delta region because of night blindness caused by an oncoming car equipped with these lights. They pose a major risk for any night drivers!”

7/4/2019	“I was on the interstate for about an hour tonight and counted 164 pairs of painfully, blindingly bright low beam headlights.  My head and eyes still hurt from counting them and I won’t do that again.This is getting ridiculous and more and more pop up every day. Even semis use them now. How is this legal?!  They are so dangerous and should be banned.”
7/2/2019	“Good morning Vietnam it’s about time someone took initiative to do something about this. I thought I was going to have to argue with all the police about not being able to see down the road, having police tell me that I’m too old to drive because I can’t see anymore. The people that put those bars across their top or under the fog lights and every light coming out of the vehicle is a HD highbeam in your face burning up your eyes, they’re just nuts. I have rednecks around where I live and they’re just decorating their vehicles with these bright lights, they just love messing with people doing anything they can do to be offensive pricks…”
7/2/2019	“Ban LED headlights, tail lights, yard lights, bicycle lights. According to this Quora article looking at oncoming LED headlights is several thousand times stronger that looking directly at the sun. They bleach our rods and cones – needed to see colors.

This puts me at a greater risk for having an accident.”
6/5/2019	“Tremendously dangerous, frightening when you are driving and cannot see!! Please outlaw these lights!!”
6/4/2019	“I am signing up because it really hurts our eyes and could causing blind us to get back normal on the road.”
6/1/2019	“This is important!”

5/28/2019	“it is very much required for saftey of the people”

5/23/2019	“Ban bright car lights in uk too. Very hard to drive in uk as well at night. They blind me eveytime need banning and normal bulbs should be fitted as this is good on the older cars which is nicer on my eyes. Good luck of getting it banned in america.”

5/22/2019	“I often have to hold my hand up to mitigate the brightness of lights off oncoming traffic because I simply can’t see. Not to mention it actually hurts my eyes. When they are behind me I have to flip my mirrors.”
5/22/2019	“I rarely flash my brights at oncoming traffic anymore these days because often what seems like someone with their high beams on is just someone with LED or HID lights on “low”. It’s hard to tell for sure anymore. Anyway, glad to see many people speaking up about this. Always thought it was “just me”.”

5/21/2019	“I cannot possibly drive at night safely with my family in the mountains”
5/21/2019	“Totally agree, while I have a 2019 Buick Envision, it’s maddening to me that every fourth or fifth driver flashes his or her beams at me to turn off my high beams when I don’t have them on same thing with my 2017 Buick.  The lights are way too bright, I even brought it back to the dealer to see if maybe there was an issue with where they were pointed but they said nothing was wrong.”
5/21/2019	“We should regulate headlamp manufactures to specific lumen/brightness output. That way, no matter what the technology, the brightness would be roughly the same.On top of that, the “cold”, “sharp” looking blue wavelength should be reserved for only emergency vehicles.”
5/21/2019	“I agree so dangerous blinding.”

5/20/2019	“These lights are just to bright i have nearly been hit a few times because of people not being able to see”
5/20/2019	“I am diabetic and with fluctuating blood glucose levels, vision is also affected. I use anti reflective coating on my lenses for my glasses which helps cut down on the glare, but these headlights are just plain blinding to the point of needing sunglasses just to cut down on the glare of these ultra bright led headlights when they’re coming at you. It burns your retina and hurts to have to see them while driving at night when there’s nowhere to temporarily divert your vision to.”
5/20/2019	“I drive for a living and these lights are dangerous!”
5/20/2019	“I can no longer drive at night because of these lights.”

5/20/2019	“These are HORRIBLE.  You cannot even see the white lines on the road when a car/truck with these headlights come at you.  The can cause so many accidents because the driver of the oncoming car can’t see for a few seconds after one of these cars go by.  They ARE DANGEROUS….not SAFE.”

5/19/2019	“Why are these blinding white and blue lights even legal?  It’s illegal to drive around with high beams on, and it these should be illegal, too. They are even more blinding than high beams.”
5/19/2019	“I  have had several  near misses due to the blinding led/hid lights”
5/19/2019	“I can barely see the road with the lights so bright. My new teenage driver has same issue. Really scary.”
5/19/2019	“I have been blinded by them to the point where I’ve run off the road.  Thank goodness for the treads on side of line that alerted me by the noise, bumping. If i had been on my motorcycle I’m sure i would have wreaked.”
5/19/2019	“I have migraines and these lights are excruciatingly painful to see coming toward me and impossible for me to keep my eyes on the road.”

5/19/2019	“Those lights are terrible on the eyes and I feel like it’s dangerous!”
5/19/2019	“Headlights on newer cars are blinding.  Emergency vehicle lights are even worse, those are the most dangerous for other drivers at night.”
5/19/2019	“because those lights are ridiculously blinding to oncoming traffic!!”
5/19/2019	“Hate Night Driving Because Of These Blinding lights!!!! These Will Cause  Accidents!!! Outlaw  Them!! !!”
5/19/2019	“I have complained about these lights for years. It’s about time for something to be done about it.”
5/19/2019	“Most of them are not at the right calibrated either and being too high. What blinds oncoming traffic!”
5/19/2019	“I’ve been blinded by these lights! They don’t have to be that bright!”
5/19/2019	“I can’t safety drive at night anymore due to the fact that these headlights trigger a migraine. I literally have to pull over and get my boyfriend to drive or if no one is with me I have to stop and hope it passes quickly.”
5/19/2019	“They are dangerous”
5/19/2019	“It’s about time someone did something about this! It’s not only oncoming headlights that are blinding, but they also blind drivers when they shine in rear view and side mirrors, making it IMPOSSIBLE to see!”
5/19/2019	“I have a real problem seeing to drive after I pass cars that have these blinding LED headlights.”
5/19/2019	“When an oncoming car has its new LED lights on, I can’t see! I love on a narrow windy road with drop off so that is dangerous! It’s also blinding from behind.”
5/19/2019	“They hurt my eyes and they are very distracting when coming at me.”
5/19/2019	“HID and LED lights are terrible! Sure they may make it easier for the person driving the vehicle to see, but when I approach that vehicle I can’t see anything! These lights are not safe for other drivers!”
5/19/2019	“I hate these led lights they have on cars these days. Yes the driver can see better but the other person can’t see shit. You might as well tell everyone they can ride around with there brights on. I can’t see anything except a tiny part of the white line when I pass a car with led lights. They look badass but I believe it causes a lot of wrecks. I know I’ve almost wrecked a few times passing a car with led headlights. All I could do is pray I make it past them cause I couldn’t see shit. It’s just not fair for the other drivers on The road to be blinded by these led headlights when it’s dark and hard to see anyway. It’s not Safe!”
5/19/2019	“im signing cause they are to bright should be that way can cause a accident or the other driver might not see someone walking along the road or a deer coming out”
5/19/2019	“I can’t see crap when someone has these. I have had multiple almost wrecks because of them blinding me. So unsafe!”
5/19/2019	“Yes, please because it’s blinding especially when a person has light sensitivity. Almost had accidents a few times.”
5/19/2019	“These things are going to be the biggest safety concern next to impaired drivers this country has ever seen!”
5/19/2019	“I’ve had issues with drivers running extremely bright headlights on U.S. 2 at night — I work night shifts so I’m heading home at 3AM. I’ve had cases where the headlights were so bright that I could barely see the side of the road.It is a very serious safety risk. On top of that, HID light bulbs have a phenomenon that I call “color shift”…it shifts between warm colors and cool colors, and that actually can cause disorientation in drivers. I once had a truck behind me with HID’s and they were glaring into my cabin, and I nearly drove off the road because of it.I want a return to Halogen spec lighting.”
5/19/2019	“I dont like beening blinded by those coming towards me”
5/19/2019	“I am tired of being blinded by tall vehicles behind me and in front of me. It’s hard on the eyes especially at night.”
5/19/2019	“I agree that these bright,  newer headlights should be banned in every state. They are a major safety issue! Especially when a car is coming towards you in another lane. Also, when someone with those headlights is behind you it reflects on your rear-view mirror and when they are beside you and back a little ways it reflects on your side view mirrors and is blinding..  I’ve had times where I’ve had to pull over on the side of the road until that car has passed because the headlights were so bright. Something needs to be done about this.”
5/19/2019	“I’ve thought for a  long time that a lot of headlights were too bright these days.”
5/19/2019	“They are way to bright and are blinding!”

5/19/2019	“They are dangerous. They are blinding.”
5/19/2019	“I deal alot with this situation. Even on low beam these headlamps are blinding. I believe they are a serious hazard to oncoming traffic. Myself and many others agree they should be banned!”
5/19/2019	“please ban these headlights. They are blinding to other drivers and they are dangerous for motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists because it is so difficult to see them while recovering from the glare.”
5/19/2019	“Not only are these bright lights blinding to oncoming traffic, but the “lifted” pick up trucks make them even worse.”
5/19/2019	“Hate them!”
5/19/2019	“Theses lights are dangerous!”

5/18/2019	“There is no need to be able to see into space. If I am blinded by your headlights and you’re more than 50 feet away… unnecessary.”
5/18/2019	“I am so afraid to drive at night because of the terrible glare that comes with these bright lights.  When I do, I have to put on my brakes because I can’t see the road and then I’m afraid someone is going to hit me from behind.”
5/18/2019	“These lights are way to bright and cause people to not be able to see”
5/18/2019	“LED lights are dangerous when coming at me on the highway.”
5/18/2019	“I got eye problems yo”
5/18/2019	“Blinding LED headlights have no place on our highways or city streets; no wonder so many pedestrians are accidentally hit! What are auto manufacturers thinking??”
5/18/2019	“Unfortunately, those yellow glasses are useless for many people—I’ve tried 2 kinds, both useless…”
5/18/2019	“Drivers safety is first”
5/18/2019	“I have a problem seeing”
5/18/2019	“I hate driving at night. The glare from headlights is very distracting.  I hate trucks that have them. Up higher, right in your rearview mirror or eyes!”
5/18/2019	“LED lights are so dangerous, esp. on the two lane back roads with no guard rails. They blind oncoming traffic to the point of not being able to see where center line or outer edge of road is located. Too manyHave already lost their lives because of these LED lights. They, in my opinion, need to be banned. I used to have 20/20 vision, but not anymore”
5/18/2019	“Because I’m tired of being blinded while I’m driving.”
5/18/2019	“I drive to work in the dark and have had to pull over and let someone pass because they were blinding me.  My husband hit a deer because someone going the other direction blinded him and he didn’t see the deer.”
5/18/2019	“I have been blinded and almost got hit head on because of those lights. My son was driving and was blinded by those lights and almost ran a stop sign which would have ultimately ended up in an accident since there was a car coming that had no stop sign.”
5/18/2019	“I’m signing this because my mom has seizures everytime she sees these led lights, so therefore she can’t drive at night.”
5/18/2019	” The lights are blinding! They make it worse for drivers to be able to see.”
5/18/2019	“When these lights are coming toward you, especially at night, they are very distracting & make it difficult to see.”
5/18/2019	“Because it’s dangerous”
5/18/2019	“These lights are extremely bright making visibility nearly impossible when a coming at you”
5/18/2019	“They hurt your eyes and serve no real purpose in normal driving conditions!”
5/18/2019	“Bright LED headlights make the street lines barely visible. It is dangerous and absolutely rediculous.”
5/18/2019	“These lights are a hazard.”
5/18/2019	“I have almost been driven off the roads numerous time because of the lights being so bright it’s much harder to see.”
5/18/2019	“These lights are blinding duh!!!!”
5/18/2019	“I get an instant headache to a migraine when encountering these headlights. So blinded when these hit that it is so hard to see street lines and markers; it’s like a temporary blindness. These he as slights are more a hazard then a benefit on the road.”

5/8/2019	“Lifetime Migrainer!! These lights blind me and give me migraines!!”
5/7/2019	“I get migraines so my eyes are very sensitive to these.”
5/2/2019	“The blue-white colour temperature of modern headlights is a serious problem for blinding oncoming drivers, pedestrians, and for light pollution. Let’s find a sensible level.”
4/29/2019	“You can’t tell if the driver passing by you put them on low beam.”
4/24/2019	“We still need signatures! 500,000 to get to the next level!”
4/21/2019	“I’ve almost wrecked multiple times because of LED headlights on other cars”
4/19/2019	“Every night on my 15 minute drive home from work, I have to slow down, (sometimes stop completely), look toward the right curb, and hold my hand in front of my face to not be blinded at LEAST 10-15 times. I don’t understand why, but the problem seems to be getting worse. Being blinded while driving is not only SO dangerous, it has caused people to drive off the road, but is also enraging, causing blinded drivers to then retaliate by turning on their high beams, increasing the danger of the situation. Why is it legal for these companies to make and sell aftermarket HID kits? There are actually studies proving that they do not improve the driver’s visibility, but actually decrease distance of visibility and cause the driver’s pupils to dilate, limiting their peripheral vision.
4/19/2019	“It is dangerous and impossible to see. When these bright lights come into view I have to squint or sometimes entirely close my eyes.”
4/19/2019	“Yes! They are actually physically painful to my eyes too!”
4/19/2019	“I do feel instant physical pain behind my eyes when being blinded by these types of headlights, even when holding my arm up to block the light from my eyes, and it is enraging.”
4/19/2019	“The aftermarket ones that people put on their cars are not legal at all.”
4/14/2019	“The use of binding headlights are a danger to the public and on the public highways across America.  These lights will cause more wrecks on the highways and be a detriment to everyone.”
4/12/2019	“Makes it hard to see anything other then those damn headlights.”
4/9/2019	“I’m signing because the new ford truck is running four headlights on the low beam button. If you flash them you can’t tell the difference when they flash back with their high beam. I cannot believe that this has been accepted through the safety council.”
4/8/2019	“Dramatically impacted with sudden loss of vision whether seen in oncoming traffic or the rear view, I am adding my signature to thousands of others who have experienced the dangerously blinding glare of the HID headlights.  We are asking that all blue light technology be banned on behalf of the lives of citizens across the country. The AMA stated that blue-rich light causes pain and damage to the human eye and suppresses melatonin at five times the rate of other wavelengths. They have urged people to move lighting toward the more natural and warm red-end of the spectrum.We are asking Congress, the Department of Transportation and NHTSA to take this matter seriously and ban all blue-light technologies on vehicles and to keep tail-lights, brake-lights and turn signals to a maximum brightness no greater than that allowed for traffic signals.Kathryn Thomas, B.S.N, M.A.E.T.Nursing Professor and AdjunctLinfield-Good Samaritan School of NursingPotrland, Oregon”
4/6/2019	“I want all glary LED lights banned completely.  There needs to be class action law suits against the manufacturers for making dangerous products – street lights, car lights, porch lights, motion detecting seizure/migraine inducing etc etc.  The global roll out of these horrible lights without regard to sensitive receptors like migraine and epilepsy patients is one of the biggest scams of the century.  Ban them now!!”

3/25/2019	“Because blinding headlight can  danger”

3/23/2019	“Holy shit get rid of these lights!  They are dangerous.”
3/23/2019	“Light pollution.  Obviuosly something created to harm the natural state of things.  Not good for humans, our 4 legged friends, or any other species.  I refuse to drive at night because of these toxic lights.”
3/23/2019	“Enough is Enough! Stop  the blinding headlights!!! Let’s save some lives, especially when driving at night!!!!”
3/23/2019	“Driving at night is a nightmare with these lights. How many deaths will it take before they are banned?!”
3/21/2019	“Lets get 25 million signatures!  Then we will only need 75 million to reach the next goal!”

3/19/2019	“It’s so annoying seeing these sorts of headlights, it honestly terrifies me”
3/19/2019	“OK, What was the point of  telling us we need 5000 signatures if now the number is being raised to 7500?  I’m guessing at 7500 they will say we need 10,000.  Then it will say we need 15,000!  What is the actual number we need to BAN BLINDING HEADLIGHTS?  100,000?  500,000?  1,000,000?”
3/19/2019	“looks like change.org is ignoring our 5000.  they raised the bar to 7500, which then will probably go higher and higher!  Try this other petition!  #banblindingheadlights    https://petitions.moveon.org/p/l_azY_5L9e”

3/18/2019	“4997!  Only need 3 more to hit 5000!  When that happens, what happens?  Will they be banned? Or will people still be allowed to drive around blinding everybody?”
3/17/2019	“As a doctor of optometry, I fully endorse this petition.”
3/15/2019	“I’m a teenage driver who drives a low car (Toyota Camry ‘05) and I cannot see when any car driving by has LED headlights. They are especially blinding on bigger cars since my head is right at the level of their headlights. I’ve taken to playing a game guessing whether it’s a person with high beams on or LED lights since they’re so similar. This blinding effect lasts long after the car has passed and is a danger to everyone. If I look at the edge of my line I cannot see if anything jumps out in front of my car, and it does little to help me see.”
3/15/2019	“* edge of my lane”

3/13/2019	“I have to wear special blue light blocking tinted glasses at night and I’m still getting blinded from front and back by drivers every night. I have had to completely stop my vehicle,  because the driver coming at me wouldn’t dim there bright HID lights or maybe they couldn’t be dimmed.  It’s much worse for older people, I understand.”
3/12/2019	“LED Light bars coming at a driver are way too much to overcome when driving. Also, emergency lighting on cop cars is way over the top and creates a hazard when approaching and potentially obscure the scene.”
3/12/2019	“I had a truck with what seemed like the whole front end was “lighted” so bright that I was totally blinded.  Don’t know if aftermarket lights were added, but I DO know his high beams were NOT on…at first, because he flashed them back at me  (in a tiny Geo Metro!) when I flashed my brights at him. Somehow we both survived, but it was a polarizing moment. Since, other vehicle extremely bright lights in other settings have reinforced my belief that these bright lights are dangerous and in spite of “claims” they are carefully engineered and fall within the established standards, I can’t believe they can. I have a Outback and a Silverado, both are newer and have pretty bright lights, but I have no complaint about those, and I HAVE experienced both approaching me at night – without being blinded. Car manufactures are claiming their new led lights illuminate a significant percentage better than the older ones, but they also want you to believe “brighter” doesn’t blind oncoming drivers. Which I call “b.s.”  I’m don”

3/11/2019	“The new headlights are dangerous. It always appears as highness are on. The lights are blinding.”
3/11/2019	“I am signing this because 1.  They are blinding and I would venture to say most people are driving with their highbeams on so they can see the road in front of them vs looking down at the ground, because the radius of the beam is so small on low-beam.   2.  You might as well be driving with 2 flashlights on the front bumper for as useless as these lights are at night, other than people being blinded by them!  Why would anyone need lights this bright while driving????  It’s crazy!”
3/11/2019	“Literally just got blinded on my way home this evening by several cars on a dark Road. I had to pause driving because I genuinely couldn’t see the road in front of me for the brightness. Made me so cross!! This has to stop!”
3/10/2019	“We’re almost to 4900! We need 5000!”
3/7/2019	“Feels like eternity when one is blinded by LED headlights, as ones car continues to move forward but the driver can’t see anything.  The recovery time from the glare is too long. Even looking to the very edge of the white line away from the lights does not work. It’s scary. I just returned from a short drive home and was blinded by 4 SUVs that sit higher than my own SUV. I was so enraged, I figured I can’t be the only one who has trouble with LED light, that a quick google search revealed I am not alone. Please support banning LEDs that are brighter than traffic signal. Please also push to enforce proper height adjustments to headlights.”
3/7/2019	“It’s a scary feeling when your car is moving forward at whatever speed but you, the driver, can’t see a thing because you have been blinded by LEDs of oncoming traffic, especially those of SUVs and other lifted trucks. Seconds feel like eternity when you are blinded.”

3/7/2019	“This is crazy!  Beam the lights properly on the road, not into outer space!”
3/6/2019	“Totally agree 100% with this petition. I am literally BLINDED now at night – both as a pedestrian and a driver. I now HATE driving, and even walking around at night. The daytime running equivelants are also just as bad, ruining the “peace” and aesthetic of walking about in the day while not bringing any safety improvements. These ridicuolously bright blinding lights need to be reigned in – and quickly…”
3/6/2019	““it was obama”.. LOL. amazing what you brainwashed republican trolls will do to inject your divisive hate speech everywhere. This is happening EVERYWHERE! pushed by the auto manufacturers and most countries outdated legal standards that only define light intensity as “wattage” and not “lumens”. Go look it up and take your divisive trolling elsewhere…”

2/24/2019	“I agree that these blinding lights are not necessary and are even dangerous!  What happened to the times when people were considerate of others by dimming their “bright lights” when ANY oncoming vehicle was visible? I also agree that the angle of truck lights are even more blinding especially if one is in a car that sits a bit lower.  I plan to keep looking for options to make our opinions heard by car manufacturers, legislators and law enforcement!”
2/22/2019	“LED headlights are painful and dangerous!”
2/22/2019	“I can’t drive at night now because it’s I can’t see with these bright headlights. It’s not necessary.”
2/22/2019	“I’m tired of being blinded by headlights as I drive”
2/22/2019	“save a life”
2/22/2019	“The issues that are even larger than simply having OEM installed xenon or LED headlights is the positioning of the lights themselves. There is no federal standard for maximum headlight height, large vehicles should have a maximum height off the ground headlights are allowed to be designed into the vehicle. Additionally, the inexpensive aftermarket pieces that people are adding to their vehicle are absolutely ridiculous and the biggest part of this nationwide issue! For $50 someone can go on eBay or Amazon and buy a xenon light kit and install it into their non-factory equipped xenon headlight housings (which is 100%” illegal to do). This creates very bad scatter, glare and poor illumination, even for the driver. also, where I live, people drive around with off road light bars and spotlights turned on, even on city streets or one the highway, that is just uncalled for and ignorant.”
2/22/2019	“I, too, get blinded by these lights. It actually HURTS my eyes. Perhaps these drivers can now see for miles ahead of them. However, everyone coming TOWARDS you can see nothing at all. Think about that.”
2/21/2019	“I have to turn my bright lights on when those cars approach me, so it’s dangerous for those drivers as well. at times I cant see anything so I just follow the speeding traffic in front of me and somehow manage not to crash into anything. true story I’m not joking. I’m also driving less in the evenings because of it.”
2/21/2019	“And people with these headlights will say just look at the line on the road. Nah duh. I can’t see the line when you have the sun on the front of your car”
2/21/2019	“Blinded by the light of the headlights and the roadside signs that are being put up.”

2/20/2019	“It’s an absolute FACT, the intensity from these headlights not only temporarily blind for some drivers but also migraines with visual aura.  The light feels like a laser.  As for the street lights, I describe the most common ones as glare bombs, no matter what “color” they are.  They are excessively too bright, with a glare the most offensive attribute.  I am a lighting professional that is confident with my justified reasons for signing this petition.   The healthcare professionals – neurologists, optometrists along with the lighting manufacturers, designers need to have a conversation with the actual people who are affected.”

2/11/2019	“I’ve literally had to come to a complete stop because light from oncoming cars was so bright I couldn’t see the road.  They’re a menace!”
2/11/2019	“I’m signing this petition because blinding headlights cause epileptic seizures. And rather the car is fully equipped, or motified by owner. They are causing serious harm to those who have epilepsy.”
2/11/2019	“As a bicyclist, I agree that LED lights should only be so bright as traffic signals on automobiles so not to blind other drivers and others on the road. However, I rely on LED lights on my bicycle to be seen. I do not believe my bicycle lights go beyond the brightness of traffic signals.”
2/9/2019	“As a chronic sufferer in general, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been given migraines after being blinded by LED headlights.”
2/9/2019	“These blinding lights killed and will kill thousands and hundred thousands of people. We need to stop this madness.”
2/9/2019	“I have personally experienced dangerous blinding, inability to safely stay on my side of the road, and even turned off of road too quickly and ended up in a culvert due to the intensity of the overly bright LED and/or HID headlights.”

2/7/2019	“headlights are bad”
2/7/2019	“It’s damaging eyes and we can’t see while we’re driving there is nothing good about led hid headlights.   We had it right for so many years.  Why do they change it for no reason.  We need to start a Class Action lawsuit against the Government, dot,  and the automobile makers.    We need to hire some good lawyers.    That is the only way to get change.   These terrible lights are not even close either.   They are like 300 times to bright and I think the rays are too sharp too.  So the entire style of the light is just Criminal.   Sometimes I feel like getting a green laser and shining it right back at the on coming violator to teach them a lesson.  I will never buy one of these new junky poorly designed cars.  I drive a 2004 GMC Sierra and its just fine and the Lights are normal.”
2/7/2019	“We need to All Start a Big Class Action lawsuit.    This is rediculous that this has happened.  Some idiot that have no sense or cooth is the one that put these on all the cars. Actually it was obama.  I remember a speech of his saying he wanted all cars to go to LED’s in the future.  He is such an idiot.   led technology and it’s waves and rays are say to intense and sharp.    It’s criminal.   It’s assault.”

2/7/2019	“I have blue Eyes too and the rays are sharp and intense.  I can actually feel them hit me.    I think it pretty much equally affects people with green and brown eyes too. We need to protest at Capitol hill also we all need to start a Class Action Lawsuit.”
2/7/2019	“yes even the tail lights and blinkers are WAY too BRIGHT.  It’s the type of ray it used.  the LED’s are just bad and probably invented by Satan or obama.”
2/7/2019	“It’s Criminal.   These lights are not even close.  It’s like someone was going out of their way to make everything LED HID.   That is a bad technology all together and a dangerous one.  It’s assault.”
2/7/2019	“Me too.  It’s insane.  I think it’s so rediculous that some one did it on purpose to hurt people.    I do remember obama in a speech about 6 years ago saying that he wanted all cars to go to LED HID lights.    He’s such an idiot.”
2/7/2019	“Thank Obama for it.  He preached and ordered all car makers and truck makers to have LED HID lights.   LEDs are the same tech used to make those green lazer pens that are illegal to shine.     Except they just make it White, Yellow or Bluish White and they aim it in a cone instead of one line.  Its’ the exact same thing though. This is Illegal what the government is doing to the People.”
2/7/2019	“They can even cause permanent or more serious damage which we don’t really like talking about.  This is probably the worst problem that has ever happened in USA history probably worse than slavery because that really only affected like 5 % of the population.”
2/7/2019	“It actually hurts.  The Trucks have lights that are like 1000 lasers.   It hurts my eyes and is affecting them. Can we forward this to Donald Trump to make an Executive order and fix this rediculous obama crime he’s done on everyone.”
2/7/2019	“democrats did this and they have no common sense and they hate people.  Litterally this is an obama policy.”
2/7/2019	“I used to love driving at night.  Now it’s just rediculous and there is nothing that can be done other than the government needs to step up big time and fix this terrible problem that obama and his minions caused.   This is criminal and they did it on purpose.   everyone already knew that led sucks even on flash lights.   Those whitish blue flash lights that they were pushing at cheap stores (I never bought one Cause I have good taste and can tell when something is junk but others bought them and would take them camping)  Everyone knew those flashlights were garbage.”
2/7/2019	“LEDs HIDs are GARBAGE!!!!!”
2/7/2019	“They are WAY WORSE.  They use laser technology.   Oh no I said the magic word to a millennial “technology” now all the millennials wil coming running saying how awesome and hip they are.   That is the problem.  millennials don’t complain about the things that matter.  They love and accept any kind of new electronic even if it’s garbage.”
2/7/2019	“Led headlights screams “I’m a douchebag””
2/6/2019	“I, too, often have trouble seeing at night  with these very bright lights.  I have thought people are driving with their him beams on”
2/6/2019	“These lights trigger my migraines making it dangerous for me to drive!”
2/5/2019	“I’m signing because these lights are terrible for drivers and the environment. We had to fight to get these lights turned away from our house when a new government building went up next door. Thankfully, we had a community rep that took action for us.”
2/5/2019	“I literally cannot see when LED headlights coming toward me on a dark rural road.”

2/3/2019	“I have very light blue eyes and these headlights cause actual pain when they shine on my face at night. It makes driving at night dangerous.”
2/3/2019	“These headlights cause glare disability and temporarily blind drivers in oncoming traffic. Eliminate the blue-rich white headlights and use warmer temperature colors such as amber.”
2/3/2019	“Led lights are too bright and a health and safety hazard”
2/3/2019	“I drive from Suffolk County to Queens and back again every day to and from work, most of the time in the dark. The newer headlights are downright blinding in the rearview and side mirrors. To make matters worse, the city and counties have begun switching the amber streetlights to bright white blinding lights that hurt my eyes and make actually seeing the lines in the roadways (or lack thereof, especially on Queens Blvd and Union Turnpike) virtually impossible. Please reconsider a better alternative, as these bright white lights are blinding drivers and I’m just waiting for the accidents to happen. I really do not want to be one of them.”
2/2/2019	“These bright headlights (and even tail lights too) make night driving  a nightmare.”
2/1/2019	“I’d like to get home safely without being blinded by overly bright headlights as I’m sure others would too.”
2/1/2019	“It is blinding! I have been thinking that people are just insensitive lately and must all the sudden be driving with their high beams then thinking something must be wrong with my eyesight since all of the sudden everything appears to be so blinding only to find out that it’s not me that people are now driving with these high powered lights which are blindingly dangerous. The blue lights are the worst offenders. Please ban use of the blue lights and even the high powered yellow lights (I am not talking abought high beams) or find some way to make them safe for the public as this is becoming a real danger to society especially on highway driving at night. Furthermore the law should be targeted at the manufacturers of these, auto shops, and mechanics so that they will know not to sell or install these lights for the average person thereby reducing the chance someone will use them knowingly or unknowingly. Please address immediately!”
2/1/2019	“The lights are blinding my vision”
2/1/2019	“My eyes are being damaged by these uneccesary blinding headlights”
1/31/2019	“We recently traveled and drove  during the night, the blinding lights made it very dangerous, it was very difficult to see the upcoming traffic and the lines on the road”
1/30/2019	“The new trend of blindingly bright headlights over the last few years is making it harder for other drivers to see at night.”
1/30/2019	“These lights are blinding creating very dangerous situations!  After being blinded by the light, it’s hard to see the road, deer about to cross, etc.”
1/29/2019	“When these cars are coming at you it is almost impossible to see through the lights and you are temporarily driving blind”
1/29/2019	“I want to see at night not to be blinded by the light”
1/29/2019	“I was almost in an accident when making a left hand turn because the car across from me at the stop light had such BLINDING lights (not adjusted, not facing the road, but straight ahead so as to be dangerous) that I temporarily couldn’t see the road. When the lights are on oncoming traffic, they are horribly dangerous. I am not alone in my complaint with this. The drivers with the ultra-bright lights can see fine, but it is inconsiderate and downright dangerous to other drivers who have to share the road. These lights are worse than a car having their “high beams” on.”
1/28/2019	“Twice in the past week I was almost involved in accidents due to these lights. One because a car behind me had them and their glare off my side mirrors made it difficult to see the road in front of me. Another time another driver drove off the road and I almost hit him. When I stopped to help he told me the headlights of a Lincoln caused him to crash.”
1/28/2019	“People such as myself that have what is known as night blindness is a struggle in itself trying to drive at nighttime, add rain in that mix it’s twice as hard to see your side of the road. So when you meet the blinding lights of oncoming traffic (even on dim) some of the later model vehicles with LED headlights, I personally have to concentrate to the right side of the road or I totally lose vision. I have a 2017 Ford vehicle and upon meeting oncoming traffic they constantly blink their lights at me thinking my lights are on bright when in fact they’re on dim, I know if I flash them I’ll blind them so I try not to do it unless they continue to do so at me.”

1/28/2019	“I have been blinded to the point I run off the road more times than I can count. They are dangerous,  and honestly dont understand how lights so distracting made it to  production.  They should have been axed long before that.”
1/27/2019	“These lights will also create accidents”
1/27/2019	“I’m signing because those lights OBVIOUSLY should be illegal, they are TOO bright and it is difficult to drive at night when someone is behind you or passing you with these lights.”
1/26/2019	“I have experienced temporary blindness several times due to excessively bright headlights…”
1/26/2019	“Ban the fuck out of the blinding muthafuckas!”
1/26/2019	“Those bright white LED lights in new cars are so blinding that it makes it hard to see the lines of the road. It has nothing to do with drivers with bad vision. I have 20/13 vision, and have a really hard time seeing what’s in front of me when someone’s regular headlight beam are brighter than most high beam.”
1/26/2019	“I almost swerve off the road each day from people shining their not-high-beams at me. I am sick and tired of putting the lives of that many people at risk for something so trivial.”
1/26/2019	“I have to reposition my rear view and side view mirrors when one of these cars with blinding headlight lamps is behind me.  I have perfect vision and light sensitivity and this is a very dangerous and irresponsible design of these vehicles.  It is as dangerous to other drivers as cars with poor braking systems.  I demand these headlight lamps be recalled, fixed, and banned from future use in any country.”
1/26/2019	“DRLs were never intended to be a safety device.”
1/25/2019	“I’m tired of being blinded with bright lights also!”

1/24/2019	“These lights are blinding and dangerous. I can’t imagine driving at night when every car has them. Let’s use some common sense and put people first.”
1/23/2019	“People need to have good vision at night, and intense light is not a good way to do that.”
1/23/2019	“I thought I was the only person that notice this.”
1/23/2019	“I feel the headlights are very blinding and dangerous to everyone on the roads”
1/23/2019	“I am signing this petition because I am tired of being blinded by the lights of oncoming vehicles while I drive at night.I can’t use the visors to shield my eyes since they won’t go lower.I thought car designers were placing high beams higher up on SUVs and 4x4s.Please make changes so driving at night is safer for those who are blinded by these lights.If these lights also harm the environment then please ban these lights.”
1/22/2019	“I CANNOT SEE”
1/22/2019	“I’ve head people claim that only the elderly are blinded by these headlights. That’s not true at all. I’m only 25 and I have to shove my rear view mirror out of the way (dangerous!) in order to see when a truck with LED headlights is following me. It’s a constant struggle to see at night while driving. All of my young friends complain about this as well.”

1/22/2019	“I agree”
1/22/2019	“I’m  blinded every night by oncoming drivers of newer vehicles with LED headlamps. So Bright that i signal the oncoming driver to turn off his high beamsonly to have the driver toggle his high beams and absolutely blind me. To the point that i have to pull off the road way because i can’t see. It scares me. Even on low beam LED headlights are disruptive to other drivers ability to see. In fact Even when a driver behind you has LED lamps it reflects off of rearview and side mirrors to the degree that its blinding. As the driver of a compact and miss size car is like to add that the problem of blinding headlights seems worse too me when the oncoming vehicle with LED lights are larger trucks.”
1/21/2019	“I’ve been a truck driver for almost 37 years people driving today don’t know what a dimmer switch is or how to adjust there lites or if the car come with driving / fog lights in the bumper they run them constantly to out of adjustment”

1/21/2019	“I’m afraid to drive at night because of these lights”
1/21/2019	“Let’s Make Blinding Lights Against The Law & punishable by PISTOL WHIPPING AND ARREST!!!  This problem has become a “cancer” because as young generations begin driving, they think these blinding lights are “normal” because this is all they know. New generations of drivers don’t know any different. My Opthamologist STOPPED driving at night because it was damaging to her eyes!!! The above article is Spot-On when it says, ” … A visual field so polluted by distracting glare that the brain has a hard time keeping focused on the important subjects like pedestrians in a crosswalk.”  Brighter is NOT SAFER. The time to Act is NOW.”
1/21/2019	“PLEASE THIS IS INSANE VVITH THESE LIGHTS!!”
1/21/2019	“What we really see in a city like seattle with pedestrians and people on bikes is other drivers can’t see them because they are in the glare-zone-of these awful unsafe high-lumen-High-Kelvin lights.  #VisionZero”
1/21/2019	“These lights are as bright as high-beams used to be and catching one in the face as a driver crests a hill can be totally disorienting!”
1/21/2019	“The blue-rich glare from these high kelvin lights are a safety hazard. We must change this dangerous trend!”
1/21/2019	“I have been blinded many times by LED headlights especially at night. Very dangerous!”
1/20/2019	“Every night i drive and have to divert my eyes from the blinding effects of these lights on the road ahead or reflected in my mirrors from behind. I can see the shadow of my own car infront of me from the illumination of these bright lights. It is very unsafe. It affects my ability to see clearly. These lights need to be outlawed and replaced with safer lights.”
1/20/2019	“These are blinding and very dangerous. I drive a school bus and these lights produce intense glare to the point of no one being able to see children at bus stops. It’s just a matter of time until tragedy occurs.”
1/20/2019	“I have a hard time driving at night because of all the glare and feel like everyone has their brights on. My husband feels the same.”
1/19/2019	“I drive a long way to work and I am encountering more and more vehicles with these types of lights.  I cannot believe they are allowed.   It appears engineers only considered one side if this equation!  I have recently seen pick-up trucks with basically two headlights on each side of the vehicle!  Enough already!”
1/18/2019	“Countless near misses from LEDs and hids in the wrong housings on these jacked up trucks.”
1/16/2019	“I have almost run into cars several times when trying to change lanes, due to being blinded by LED lights on vehicles behind me!!  If windows tinted too dark is illegal, this should be a no-brainer!!!!!!”
1/15/2019	“I’m glad you can see into the future and all, but I’d like to see where I’m going too.”
1/15/2019	“The increase in the brightness of headlights produces frequent situations in which even the “low beams” from many cars are dangerously bright and distracting, often making lane-marking marks and pavement boundaries harder to discern.”
1/14/2019	“For the record, it is not a senior’s problem with a brightness of these halogen headlights!… It is a common sense problem! I’m in my forties and I’ve had terrible frustration at these headlights for years now. I am a former professional truck driver of many years and I have to say, the worst are tractor trailers with these headlights as they set up higher than regular cars and are terribly blinding when they drive behind you, let alone the problems oncoming.   Note to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,  it doesn’t take a study to realize that the lights are blinding, just common sense! …. stop your studying and start saving drivers by Banning these VERY DANGEROUS headlights!”
1/13/2019	“I suffer chronic migraines and they definitely trigger them, but they also cause eye pain and difficulty seeing at night.”
1/11/2019	“I have been complaining for a couple years about these lights. I can’t believe they are legal. I literally have to shut my eyes when passing a car with HID/LED lights. I have almost ended up in the ditch from being blinded. They are straining to the eyes. I have perfect vision, I’m 27, and in good health. Tired of people with them saying we shouldn’t be driving at night if we can’t handle it.”
1/10/2019	“More cities are switching to LED street lights to increase energy efficiency.  There is absolutely NO REASON—other than pointless vanity—why people in our cities need LED or HID headlights on their vehicles.   It doesn’t help that auto manufacturers are abetting this unnecessary and dangerous trend by fitting their vehicles with HID headlights that are too bright, even when meeting current code.  And though blue-white headlights are illegal in my state of California, after-market conversion kits are available on the internet.   These lights are a menace and a safety hazard, and are not needed in brightly-lit cities.”
1/10/2019	“These are a danger to public safety.”
1/8/2019	“I am unable to see when they are coming. I have gone off the road because I have lost the road in the light. They also cause pain”

1/3/2019	“I’m getting tired of getting blinded by these headlights.  They may work for the drivers of these vehicles but are dangerous to oncoming cars.  They need to be banned!”

1/2/2019	“When a car with those bright bluish lights is heading straight towards me on a winding country road, everything else becomes completely invisible. I no longer will drive those roads at night, until those lights are outlawed.”
1/1/2019	“These things are like staring into and aircraft landing light.”
1/1/2019	“It hurts the eyes, it takes longer to adjust the eyes after looking at it through rear view mirror.”

2018
12/31/2018	“The new headlights on cars and trucks are absolutely blinding to me when I’m trying to drive at night.  I cannot believe these are even legal!  I have seen trucks with additional LEDs added as a third front light that are SO BLINDING that  have to shield my eyes from them, almost running off the road.  When I was learning to drive many years ago, it was STANDARD practice as well as common courtesy to dim one’s lights when approaching an oncoming car or when following behind another car.  Now it seems the more obnoxiously bright one can be with their lights, the better?!  This is NOT OK.”
12/31/2018	“I am often blinded by these lights and it seems to be getting worse. There seem to be more and more vehicles on the road like this. I consider it a road hazard.”
12/30/2018	“because I trust Martin Cohen”
12/30/2018	“Preserving vision and saving lives is important”
12/30/2018	“I live in the country and drive on dark winding roads.  Oncoming blinding LED headlights make it dangerously impossible to see anything for several seconds!”
12/29/2018	“It makes it very difficult for me to see! I can’t wear sunglasses at night and it’s truly hard to keep my eyes open with some cars.”
12/29/2018	“Imagine you are driving along a winding canyon road, in the dark, no lights except the stars and the moon.  You have very good vision, but you have the normal visual reactions of a person 65 years old.  You have an excellent driving record.  However, a car comes around a curve from the opposite direction, with headlights that send a blinding, searing light to your retinas, and completely wash out your visual field for 5 seconds or more.  You know the curve up ahead, you are familiar with the road, and so you gently come to a stop (an abrupt stop could cause the car behind you to either swerve or push you over the side), and briefly wait to recover your vision.  But maybe next time, or some other unsuspecting driver won’t react so well, or won’t have time, or just won’t know the road well enough.  These lights are murderers.”
12/29/2018	“Yep! Always a problem, here too!”
12/29/2018	“They are very bothersome.”
12/28/2018	“These lights blind me, not to mention  Science shows us that blue spectrum light contributes to macular degeneration.”
12/28/2018	“This is an international epidemic affecting road users as a result of very poor design decisions by car manufacturers. Their drive towards making a car seemingly safer for a driver in fact is making those very cars a lethal danger to other road users, including other car drivers. Glare is lethal. Blinding, blue-white headlights are lethal. The trend towards ever brighter lights, front and rear, is lethal. Just because car manufacturers can make their car lights brighter doesn’t mean they should. They are creating conditions that will kill increasing numbers of people in years to come.”
12/27/2018	“These headlights are hazardous! There should be light levels limits on vehicles.”
12/26/2018	“I do not have any sensitivity to light, lack of vision, etc. and these lights are still extremely blinding. Who is to blame when these lights cause a fatal accident? This needs to stop.”
12/26/2018	“Those lights should be banned.”
12/26/2018	“I’m tired of being blinded in traffic. It’s dangerous.”
12/26/2018	“I’m being blinded at critical driving decision moments by cars with these lights. The blinding effect lasts after the car has passed putting us all in danger.”
12/25/2018	“They’re too damn bright!!!”
12/23/2018	“It’s simply blinding.”
12/23/2018	“I drive a winding hilly country road frequented by caravans of tire testers. If they have LED lights it is punishing and dangerous.”
12/23/2018	“I have chronic migraines & driving at night has become impossible. Because these headlights trigger them instantly.”
12/23/2018	“They should not even be legal”
12/22/2018	“trump Is dumber than a head light, and even he had taken lives. that’s all.”
12/22/2018	“We need these banned”
12/22/2018	“It’s very difficult to see driving at night. I have children.  Those lights should be banned!”
12/22/2018	“greg bond,it’s to much light and distracting on the road!”
12/22/2018	“I’m a driver”
12/21/2018	“Whether it’s a vehicle coming towards you (blinding direct lights) or a large vehicle behind you (blinding through the rearview mirrors), these HID/LED/blueish lights pose a huge safety risk to other drivers. A few seconds without being able to see your surroundings on the road are enough to cause a major accident.”
12/21/2018	“I get blinded at night with these lights . i have sensitive eyes to bright lights and cannot drive at night because of these headlights”
12/21/2018	“My epileptic partner can’t even be in the passenger seat without getting a seizure cause of these stupid lights.”
12/21/2018	“I wear glasses with an anti glare protection.  They do not work with the new blinding headlights.  The glare is blinding, the range of luminescence / beam is to far outward blinding oncoming traffic.  Dangerous and disturbing during and after the lights hit my eyes.”
12/20/2018	“I hate the ultra bright headlights so much! They might help the driver possessing them to see better but the rest of us are blinded and at risk of injuring ourselves or others as a result.”
12/20/2018	“These lights are irritating honestly arent high beams enough when you need bright lights to see the road. I have to wear sunglasses at times to be able to make it through my drive home from work. I’ve had spots in my vision and had to pull over. Seriously these lights gotta go I’m done with them they should never even became a thing.”
12/20/2018	“I’m signing because I’m tired of having pick up trucks behind me in my car blind me with their LED headlights. They are also blinding when coming at you on the opposite side of the road.”
12/20/2018	“I am signing this petition because with car sales down and SUV sales up, these exorbitantly bright lights are increasingly difficult to avoid. I don’t see how they make driving safer when approaching cars are blinded.”
12/20/2018	“I’m sick of being Blinded by headlights.  Blinded by a douche who’s driving with his high beam lights!”
12/20/2018	“On multiple occasions I have been close to either going off the road, or even hitting head on with another vehicles due to the ridiculous brightness of LED/HID headlights. For the safety of all road users they should be either banned or at least regulated.”
12/20/2018	“Those lights are blinding”
12/20/2018	“I prefer to be able to see when driving at night.”
12/19/2018	“they are dangerous.  My car sits pretty low and when trucks or jeeps are coming toward me I can not see.”
12/19/2018	“I’m tired of being blinded and almost wrecking every night from work. I can’t take it anymore.”
12/18/2018	“these lights are way too bright.”
12/18/2018	“I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. At first I thought I had at least two vehicles behind me. The 6 headlights (3 on each side) also had the smaller bulbs surrounding them. The smaller bulbs alone put out more candlelight power than my high beams. In all, I would not be surprised it I had 6 large bulbs and at least a dozen smaller bulbs in my rear view and side view mirrors. I was totally blinded and had to pull off to the side to let the idiot pass me.”
12/18/2018	“I think it is funny that not too long ago you could get a ticket for having your high beams on when approaching oncoming traffic. Now, one of those bulbs is 10X brighter than the old high beams. And they have a lot of those bulbs on some of the trucks.”
12/18/2018	“Makes you wonder how the auto industry got these okay’d? How much did they have to pay someone off to get these made legal?”
12/18/2018	“I have complex migraines that are triggered by light.   Driving at night has been made unbearable due to these headlights.   During a 7 hour road trip recently I was so afraid I would wreck.  There were hundreds of times on that journey that I simply couldn’t see.”
12/18/2018	“I’m signing because if nothing happens and the only choice left is to be forced into having the bright lights, we all lose.”
12/17/2018	“I find it unbelievable that we allow these horrific blinding headlights to create a peril to drivers.  Please ban them.”
12/17/2018	“It’s completely true. Everyone is saying it.”
12/16/2018	“This truly is a serious threat to our society. While new types of lighting help in certain situations, the end result is causing more harm than good. We need a more gentle spectrum that accomplishes safer driving for all. Go NHTSA and save us. Please fulfill your mission for all of us esp. Our new drivers, our children.”
12/16/2018	“Hate the bright lights”
12/14/2018	“People don’t see the bigger picture here.  They think if they have brighter headlights it makes everyone safer.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.  When you blind oncoming traffic with your blinding headlights it makes it harder for them to see pedestrians crossing, makes it harder to see potholes in the road, makes it harder to see curbs.  Many things!  And what ever happened to properly aimed headlights?  Is it even possible to aim LED’s?  Most of the time they look like they are aimed both high and low.  This is very dangerous!”
12/14/2018	“That is exactly the point I try to make to people.”
12/14/2018	“I was trying to turn into a business parking lot recently and ran over a curb because i got blinded by laser headlights.  I was so pissed!”
12/14/2018	“I’d like to follow them to where they park their vehicle, and then spray black paint over their shitty lights!  But I don’t want to go to jail because of them being assholes!”
12/14/2018	“I got “attacked” a couple nights ago by a Jeep coming toward me with 6 headlights, and they were all blinding LED’s.    They had the 2 blinding headlights, plus 2 blinding foglights, PLUS  a light on each side of the windshield that hung out above their rear view mirrors, and those ones were seriously blinding because of their high mount, and total disregard for proper aim!  I bet those are illegal for street use anyway.  Why don’t cops pull those shitheads over and cite them?  and those rectangular all-LED light bars, aren’t they only for off road use?  I keep getting blinded by those, too!”
12/13/2018	“Those lights are blinding and dangerous at night! I have eye problems and because of those lights, I can’t drive at night. Please ban them!”
12/12/2018	“I hate those headlights”
12/12/2018	“Cataracts make night driving difficult. Bright lights cause halos and are distracting.”
12/12/2018	“I’ve never had problems with oncoming lights until recently. To me these new headlights are more of a problem than the older lights on high beam. Please ban these lights and create standards that work for the driver and their fellow drivers.”
12/12/2018	“Bright LED headlights actually make it harder to see at night because of the glare. Please take measures to lower the intensity of these headlights!”
12/12/2018	“I live out in a rural area. At night, when an oncoming vehicle has HID/LED headlamps, about 90% of the time, I’m blinded to the point of barely being able to see the white line. Much less a deer, raccoon, or rare pedestrian.”
12/12/2018	“As everything else concerning safety is regulated on a vehicle , it is baffling why headlights are not! Some of these lights are more blinding to on coming traffic Than high beams.”
12/12/2018	“General Motors, pickups are blinding, GM is the worst must be cheaper headlight setup as gm will blind u to save .50¢”
12/12/2018	“I’m terrified to drive in the evening because of this!!!”
12/11/2018	“These headlights are causing me to be blinded so often it’s a wonder I haven’t gotten in  An accident yet. It’s a matter of time. . This is ridiculous they are a danger to everyone on the street except the people who have them.”
12/11/2018	“It’s dangerouse to be blinded while driving”
12/11/2018	“I sometimes literally end up seeing spots after a car on the other side of the highway blinds me.”
12/10/2018	“These headlights are extremely dangerous and uncessary. I can see the road just fine at night with mt regular lights.”
12/10/2018	“because my eyesight and anxiety are bad enough already, and i don’t need your jackassery to fuck the road up for me”
12/9/2018	“Those headlights are blinding to oncoming traffic!”
12/9/2018	“A police officer had a car pulled over on the side of the road with blue led lights signaling. I slowed down to go around but thought the officer was in the vehicle. I was HORRIFIED as I drove past to suddenly be able to see that the officer was actually outside his vehicle and that I was unable to see him until I had come alongside him. The blue leds did not illuminate the area. They bathed the area in blue color. This distorted what I was able to see. I worry for everyone’s safety with the use of led.”
12/9/2018	“It’s so hard to drive at night with these glaring lights.  Unnecessary evil.”
12/9/2018	“Lights are to bright and cause others to be blinded”
12/9/2018	“When I come upon headlamps and police cars that have blinking lights, these days those colored lights blind me for several seconds .. seriously impairing my ability to safely navigate for a ways down the road. It’s frightening. There is serious enough risk in recovery time That it might as well have been distracted driving cell phone use.  The eyes are rendered useless in these events. Why are the safety patrols using blinding lights⁉️⁉️”
12/9/2018	“I am a car and motorcycle enthusiast   I fitted off road Halogen lights to my vehicles for decades   I remember getting tickets for using my lamps on a highway   Never blinding others   Late night   Dark conditions   Still the officers hidding behind a tree will find the excuse to issue a citation Well   Today we get 500% more glaring and blinding lamps on the road and those are used as regular headlamps   Those blind and glare to extreme lévels   Needless to say a corrupted DOT has allowed those lamps to be used on cars putting safety on the side   I do not see policemen ticketing drivers BMI ding others with their Zenón and LED lamps because the DOT has allowed them to be used on highways and the police follows this corrupted decision by the DOT We need impeach the officials from the DOT and send them to jail for having put aside safety in the place for money given to them by car manufacturers We need action   Impeach the DOT”
12/9/2018	“They are too bright and dangerous”
12/8/2018	“Some jerk tailgating me for over ten minutes caused nightblindness in my one eye that couldn’t avoid the glare. And I legit cannot properly see the road or its markers when passing other cars with this, and they seem to only be growing in population…”
12/8/2018	“I live in a fairly rural area where many of the roads are narrow, lack white lines and have little to no shoulder.  Wildlife in the road is also a big concern.  These lights make it impossible for oncoming drivers to see the edge of the road or hazzards on the shoulders.”
12/8/2018	“Because I am blinded to the point of getting in an accident at least 4 times every morning and every night.  I don’t want to die!”
12/7/2018	“LED headlights and taillights are a catastrophe.  It’s unbelievable that our government is allowing this.  How are we supposed to even drive anymore?”
12/6/2018	“We used red lights in the Army for night operations. They don’t over stimulate your eyes and allow quicker recovery when going back to darkness. This has been known for a very long time. I dont understand why our government ever allowed these super bright lights to become such a menace…”
12/6/2018	“It’s really bad now”
12/6/2018	“Les lumières des voitures  me donne beaucoup de migraines , depuis que j’ai cesser de conduire lorsqu’il fait noir je n’ai plus de migraines. C’est très aveuglant et donc très dangereux de conduire en étant aveugler, car les voitures en sens inverse nous aveugle , il est impossible de voir une bêtes ou un piéton  qui serait sur la voie.”
12/3/2018	“How is paying $10 going to get this seen to 150 more people?I think this petition is a scam to make money!!!I have over 13,000 followers, on one of my google accounts – it does NOT cost $10, nor $5 or even $3 to "help" get this petition seen by more people!  Besides, the issue is already illegal, just write to the secretary of the DOT! See my LONGER VERSION of my ‘comment’ bellow!”
12/3/2018	“I have a few things to say about this *BLINDING HEADLIGHT* "petition"…1) there are a number of different issues here. Not only are the BRIGHT lights SO WRONG, they are ALREADY suppose to be under so many candle power set from the factory. THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALREADY! We do not need to "petition"!!! If the DOT did their job, they would have been changed already.2) Lights that move, are illegal! They were banned back in the 50’s! Lights that move up or down are STUPID and the people who have them looks like they are flashing their brights at me/us when they ‘float’ up and down!!! Even the COPS have these on the Ford suvs! THEY ARE ILLEGAL! If the DOT did their job, they would have been changed already. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO WRITE TO THE DOT!!! Not start a petition! 3) There is another issue here that is not being covered; the use of MORE THAN TWO SETS of lights are ILLEGAL in the State of Wisconsin, and I think many other states, if not all of them!!! Look it up! The DOT standards are on the int”
12/3/2018	“It’s actually against the law to have more than 4 (four) lights on at any time while driving.”
12/3/2018	“It’s actually against the law to have more then FOUR (4) forward white lights one at ANY given on the road. They need to be reported then. EVEN MULTI-BEAM LIGHTS are ILLEGAL! And these multi-bean LED lights are NO exception and are ILLEGAL to use. Write to the DOT, tell them to enforce the LAW.”

12/2/2018	“Sick of these LED lights blinding me at night on the road. It doesn’t matter if the vehicle is oncoming or behind you. Lights that bright are ridiculous and can cause accidents. Get rid of them.”
11/30/2018	“Every state needs to reaim headlights during the annual vehicle inspection, if they don’t have inspection institute one!  Also the truck drivers with the 36" wide light bars on the front need to go.  If you are the only one on the road light it up, when others are just in front of you shut em down…..at this point emissions take a back seat to being blinded.”
11/29/2018	“Even when people get behind you these things blind you, I’m not saying they should ban them for off-road use but on the road it shouldn’t be allowed, what was wrong with the old headlights? They’re so bright and every vehicle turning the glare changes direction and hits spots causing a glare to where drivers can’t see, anyone can easily get blinded with the sun as it is  and run off the road, into other vehicles and then who’s fault is it if they couldn’t see cause they were blinded? Still theirs.. After losing my grandfather in a vehicle accident many years ago, I feel people shouldn’t lose their lives and the vehicle they worked so hard for over a silly blinding lightbulb.”
11/28/2018	“I had a pick-up truck on my back bumper the other night. The truck had 3 lights on each side. It lit up the interior of my car so bright I could have read small print on any contract. These lights are a menace and need to be banned.”
11/28/2018	“I wear screenvision/blue light reducing glasses when I drive at night, but I shouldn’t have to do that.  The lights are the problem, not my eyes.”
11/28/2018	“I am blinded at night by these glaring lights”
11/26/2018	“They are too bright; everyone knows that!”
11/25/2018	“I’m signing this petition because I find the glare from headlights of oncoming cars blinding and dangerous.  I hate driving at night now and am concerned that I will get into an accident due to the brightness of the headlights.  It feels like the lights are piercing my eyes and it looks like all cars have their high beams on.”
11/25/2018	“I’m being blinded by headlight glare in my side view mirrors from newer, whiter headlights. We need to limit the color temperature!”
11/22/2018	“I’ve nearly ran bbn off the road or into several cars due to these blinding lights!!!!”
11/17/2018	“It’s hard to avoid objects and people or cars in front of me when I can’t see because of someone’s blinding bright headlights.”
11/17/2018	“I signed for all of the same reasons as others.  These LED headlights are dangerous!  I don’t believe the problem is the LED technology itself, but how it is constructed (i.e. color, lenses, etc).  More safety checks are necessary before dumping such things into the marketplace.  In some cases, I have been blinded by these headlights even at a location ~30 degrees to the side!  How can this possibly be considered safe?I am disheartened as I see this petition drive was launched around a year ago.  I would have expected at least several hundred-thousand signatures by now :(“
11/16/2018	“I am only 20 years old but I seem to have a light sensitivity issue with bright LED lights popping out of nowhere in the dark. The bright lights hurt my head and when I walk at night I need to cover my face or direction of where the bright light is coming. I noticed it’s abnormal because it bothers me much more than other people my age. I have to wait until March to tell my eye doctor about this problem. Even wearing sunglasses have not helped me.”
11/16/2018	“I drive every night on a narrow two lane road to get home from work. I know the common rule is to look down at the road lines whenever an incoming car is in sight with lights, but there’s no point when the car has bright LED lights that completely white out my vision. There have been several instances where I, and several of my friends and family, have nearly driven off the road because we couldn’t see anything other than the blinding light of LED headlights. What’s worse is that they aren’t using fog lights or anything, it’s just the normal headlights. That needs to be banned immediately.”
11/16/2018	“They should be for emergency vehicles only IMO. Too many nuisance drivers,  with no regard for public safety, blinding other motorists. Enough is enough.”
11/14/2018	“I hate those lights. I have almost wrecked many times over bcuz of them.”
11/13/2018	“Three lights are blinding, especially in single lane roads. They’re dangerous and  unnecessary. Common sense laws need to be passed regarding these lights, sooner than later.”
11/11/2018	“The LED lights can be blinding and can make driving difficult.”
11/11/2018	“I can’t stand these HID headlights. I’ve almost went off the road cause they glare so much. Both my cars have normal halogen lights so now every time someone with HIDs is coming up on me I blast them with my high beams since they’re low beams are blinding me.”
11/10/2018	“I very nearly hit a pedestrian who was walking on the side of the road wearing black clothing, I didn’t see him until the last second because of some jerk’s brights blinding me!”

11/9/2018	“Saftey While Driving”
11/8/2018	“While I’m all for a person customizing their vehicles with aftermarket parts, I don’t see the need for these overly bright lights as regular driving headlights. Especially as factory headlights. I have almost been in a handful of accidents because of these lights. In these instances, my children were often in the car with me.”
11/8/2018	“I’m signing this petition because I am FED UP CONSTANTLY BEING BLINDED by these blue-white LED HEADLIGHTS!!!They HURT my EYES, NEGATIVELY AFFECT MY DRIVING since I can’t ‘see’ the road at night (and day) after having the horribly blinding ‘camera flash’ of an oncoming vehicle (esp. trucks, vans & buses) with unacceptably bright LED HEADLIGHTS!!!”
11/7/2018	“Xexon and LEDs headlights should be banned. Today’s halogen headlights are bright enough.    The AMBER daytime running lights should be the only DRLs allowed.”

10/9/2018	“These lights have blinded me nearly causing an accident several timesThey should be banned!”
10/1/2018	“I am signing this petition because the number of bright headlights on cars in my area is increasing rapidly. I have a serious medical condition that makes my eyes sensitive to bright lights and as a result I am prone to visual disturbances, auras. These lights are not just in at night but all day long. They strike from my side mirrors and cause me to see spots. On time I ran a red light because I had bright headlights coming at me and from behind me. I couldn’t see for seconds. It was scary.”
10/1/2018	“As a newspaper delivery person, I find myself constantly blinded by oncoming lights. In my job, it’s important for me to see the road to assess hazards, and not be blinded.”
9/29/2018	“The blinding headlights are not only an issue for oncoming vehicles,  but also for the cars driving immediately in front of said vehicles.  While many rear-view mirrors have anti-glare capabilities, side mirrors do not.”
9/22/2018	“These headlights are not only blinding and dangerous to drivers but are also hell for those of us with extreme light sensitivity.”
9/21/2018	“I can’t drive at night with these crazy bright lights!”

6/19/2018	“It’s no coincidence blue light is  harmful to us during the night and the gov’t and dot has allowed the steady increase of these blinding blue lights on trucks and cars. I’m pretty sure even car manufacturers are installing them  on their new models and now at least 1/4 of all cars and trucks have them. But it’s not only headlights it’s street lights store lights lights for your house I read somewhere it’s a weapon! The blue light during the night does major damage to our circadian rhythm. I drive a truck, 75% of the time during the night, and it’s causing problems with my sleep, my mood, and gives me bad headaches…”
6/13/2018	“I’m tired of becoming “blind””
6/9/2018	“Led lighting should only be for off road use.”
6/1/2018	“Because these lights are terrible”
6/1/2018	“These LED lights are literally ruining my life. The combination of LED streetlights and car headlights is literally unbearable to me.   I can only go out at night if someone else drives and I wear an eye mask.  I am so freaked out by these lights I don’t know how I will live the rest of my life if these don’t go away.  These lights cannot possibly be healthy for humans or animals.  PLEASE MAKE THEM ILLEGAL!”
5/28/2018	“Write a reply…people are so rude! bright blinding lights were invented by assholes”
5/28/2018	“Toyota, BMW, and many other cars should be recalled to smash the fuckin LED out of them!”
5/22/2018	“Thank you…”
5/18/2018	“Some LED and HID lights are more intense than high beams and they should be used accordingly on deserted highways.  In towns, with lively traffic they shouldn’t be used.”
5/14/2018	“I have a vehicle where I am constantly being flashed by oncoming traffic. The headlights were adjusted, there was nothing in the back to make the headlights point up towards the sky, so I decided to get out and in front of the car to see why this has been happening. It wasn’t so much the actual light beam, but rather the "stylish" LED crap that overtakes the headlamp assembly. There is no way to turn these things off. I flipped the switch to parking lamps and attempted to drive down my driveway with only the LED accent lighting and parking lamps on. The LED accent lights did absolutely nothing as far as illuminating the roadway in front of me. They are just a nuisance to oncoming traffic. I have been doing my own silent protest by keeping my high beams on when approaching vehicles with LED light strips. I covered my LED light strips so they are no longer visible. I am at the point of frustration now where I want to be a vigilante and hit all the LED light strips with bright orange or green plastidip”
5/13/2018	“People are being Rude and Obnoxious and are Absolutely Absurd.Its is Being Used as a Tool to be Overly Aggressive to Other Law Abiding Citizens that are Following State Laws.Re:Posted Speed Signs On Interstates and Residential areas.People are using the BRIGHT LIGHTS without a necessary cause or REASON ,NO ITS NOT THE HEADLIGHTS,ITS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING OUT OF THIERWAY TO PROVE WHAT AN ASS THEY CAN MAKE OF THEMSELVES TO WITH NO REPERCUSSION OR PUNISHMENT.DAREING ANYONE TO STOP THEM.THEY ACTUALLY ARE TAKING THE GREATEST PLEASURE IN OFFENDING EVERYONE POSSIBLE TO GET THIER JOLLYS.YES ITS MOST AMAZING.ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCEAT ITS PEAK.ITS A NORMAL WAY OF LIFE FOR FOOLISH ASSHOLES..IRRITATE AND AGGRAVATE.”
5/6/2018	“#savelives”
4/26/2018	“During the day I have to adjust my rear view mirror to night position due to so many bright daytime headlights which makes any car without them essentially invisible. They are so bright, I frequently see drivers forgetting to turn on their normal head lights at night. Daytime lights should NEVER be bright enough to be used for night driving. Having to block my side view mirror with my hand until a car with these ultra blinding lights passes is also very dangerous.”
4/26/2018	“The trend towards high intensity headlights and other high intensity LED light sources is dangerous to the health and well-being of human and other animal races. Our next generation may well be partially blind if something is not done soon. Blinding of our current and next generation will be detrimental of our economic and creative potential. These high intensity lights make our environment highly prone to accidents, they affect wild life that is struggling to cohabit with us and share our planet. It’s becoming hard to drive at night and even during day times. We must bind together to stop this craziness from polluting our visual environment. In the last few recent years, headlights, tail lights, street lights, lights on police/emergency cruisers, tow trucks, public buses have all in my opinion intensified to the tune of 3 to 10x. Head lamps emit white light/beam direct to eyes vs. the old method of reflection and natural light bulbs that used to disperse beams better. I have personally reduced my night/eve”
4/25/2018	“I drive to work everyday at night. I am disgusted at the amount of people putting these LED aftermarket bulbs in their halogen housings. They’re made for a little halogen filament, not a bank of LEDS. Ridiculous glare and light splash. DOT compliant OEM ones are fine. These are ridiculous.”
4/18/2018	“The glare bothers me tooAnd I drive a lot in the night”
4/18/2018	“This is one of my biggest pet peeves.  These LED lights are just bad.  On cars or houses or streetlights doesn’t matter. They are brutal.  I drive home from work sometimes later and they blind me. Our world is becoming way too bright,  loud and dirty. Do something.”
4/16/2018	“I’m really having an issues with Toyota vehicles and also even as far as new Silverado trucks.These headlights are blinding when behind you. In front isn’t as bad because they will pass eventually. But behind if they are matching you speed you’re better off just slowing down to let them pass because of the headache they cause.”
4/16/2018	“Yes it’s like a swirling array of blue and orange colors being emitted from those headlights. RIP my eyes to toyota corollas.Just had a 2018 Camry yesterday do the same.”
4/7/2018	“Hurts my eyes”
4/6/2018	“New Toyota Corolla S model was so bright in my rear view mirror I pulled over to let him pass.  Oncoming traffic flashed this car, wow align your headlights to point at the road, not at the horizon.”
4/4/2018	“These headlights are blinding!”
3/28/2018	“I have been driving more at night recently and have been blinded by oncoming headlamps to the point where I’ve had to pull over and wait for the spots blocking my vision to fade.”
3/26/2018	“It takes a second to dim your headlamps. Be kind and dim your brights for an oncoming vehicle.”
3/26/2018	“This is a pet peeve of mine. It’s dangerous and unkind to not dim your brights to an oncoming vehicle!!”
3/25/2018	“These are a hazzard.”
3/25/2018	“The lights are blinding”
3/24/2018	“I’ve had times when oncoming headlights have completely dazzled me and they are not on full beam as its inner city.It is especially bad on duel carriageways and puts you off driving at night .l hope something is done.Many people arent even aware that you can lower your dipped headlights a bit.Manufacturers must do something snd so must government legislation.”
3/24/2018	“I find that I need to squint my eyes and turn away from on coming traffic. Basically, I’m taking my eyes off the road.  After the vehicle passes, my vision isn’t clear. This is very dangerous.”
3/24/2018	“LED headlights send out flickering radiating rays of light that expand outward from the headlights of oncoming vehicles and make it nearly impossible for me to see the road and the edges of the road or even the markings on the road or anything that might be in the road in front of me. These LED headlights are extremely hazardous.”
3/24/2018	“In the UK there’s a trend to using fog lamps all the time. This is actually illegal here, except when visibility is bad, but many drivers think it’s cool to have them on. Or something.”
3/18/2018	“These are blinding to other drivers.  They cause oncoming drivers to lose full field of vision especially on dark country roads.   It’s looks like they are coming at you with brights on. If they are behind you, there is a very bright glare in side and review mirrors.  These lights need to recalled. There is no way these have not caused accidents.”
3/17/2018	“Aside from night blindings, I regularly get blinded during the *daytime* in my home’s parking garage.”
3/17/2018	“They are blinding to people.  They actually make my eyes hurt!”
3/16/2018	“I can no longer drive at night, these lights cause me to lose my ability to see the whole field of vision.”
3/14/2018	“I agree!”
3/10/2018	“I am sick and tired of being temporary blinded by oncoming traffic, and light glare from my rear-view and side mirrors. Driving at night has become an absolute nightmare because. It’s extremely frustrating uncomfortable and hurts my eyes.”
3/7/2018	“I am now blinded on a daily basis by these things particularly at roundabouts and have had "near things". German marques are the worst. I have contacted my MP and the issue is with the UN for some bizarre reason. Donald, have you considered raising an e-petition on the Government website?”
3/7/2018	“I am now blinded on a daily basis on these things and have suffered some "near things", German marques are the worst. Apparently, the issue is with the UN for some bizarre reason.”
3/6/2018	“The auto industry says that half of all new car headlights have a poor rating.  They include the effect on the oncoming driver.  If these are not stopped, driving at night will be next to impossible if every car has them.”
3/6/2018	“I have noticed this problem has gotten worse over the past several years.”
3/4/2018	“Unbelievably dangerous. I would like to see lumen limits place on all exterior lighting personally. It is one of the many ways we are wrecking our environment, creating personal health and safety issues, and behaving irresponsibly. I am shocked this isn’t talked about more. Being blinded by glare is an undeniable traffic hazard that desperately needs to be addressed.”
3/2/2018	“too bright is dangerous and painfully glaring to oncoming traffic. ask yourself if my lights are bright enough to see the next county over are they too bright?”
3/2/2018	“It’s absolutely debilitating to so after these light hit your eyes!  They are finding out more and more how harmful these lights are. Yet have not got to the long term effects yet.  They need to be removed before it’s too late for some.”
3/2/2018	“These headlights are a danger.”
3/1/2018	“I want to see laws implemented that makes it Illegal for automobile manufacturers to put in auto lighting that blinds other drivers. It’s completely unnecessary to have such bright headlights. I also would like to see legislation passed that makes it Illegal for individuals to install aftermarket headlights that are blinding, distracting and light up the inside of your car like several high powered spotlights. They are a safety issue for motorists and pedestrians alike.”
2/26/2018	“It wasn’t stupid enough to allow the auto industry to place a turn signal next to a BLINDING headlight. Now there allowed to make those lights so bright you can’t see in front of you when one of those vehicles is behind you. I kind of got used to the spots in front of my eyes for 30 seconds when looking for a turn signal, but now with this intense brightness, the turn signal is a much smaller problem. If it’s night and someone with these lights is behind you, it’s best to pull over and let them go so you have the ability to see. I had someone with these lights behind me and I could not make out where my driveway was to make the turn! Is this what our society has come to? Like everything else in this country, to someone it’s all about money! Don’t we have safety organizations in place to stop dangerous situations?”
2/25/2018	“I drive a school bus and these lights have blinded me where I have had to stop the bus for a couple seconds…AND THERE ARE CHILDREN ON THE BUS!Ban these lights. They are NOT needed. Very dangerous!”
2/21/2018	“Worst LED lights ever ,like they need it ?  My biggest fear is the road construction on those police cars ( holy god ) !!! I was totally blinded on the highway! Yikes I was pissed because it took me eyes FOREVER to be back to the normal sighting visions!  Not a good move whoever created LED on vehicles! PLEASE BAN THEM !!!”
2/21/2018	“These lights are blinding, especially at night. I have to turn my mirrors down and have to shield my eyes to oncoming traffic. It is dangerous.”
2/19/2018	“hideous blinding lights, last thing we need to have blarring in our eyes while driving!!!”
2/15/2018	“These lights are blinding me every time I drive at night. For anyone who have a difficult time driving at night, these only amplify the problem. These need to be banned immediately!!”
2/9/2018	“There seem to be more and more cars with these headlights on the road, so much so, that my eyes can’t seem to get a break in between the glare of oncoming traffic.  Even looking away doesn’t seem to help so I have to put my hand up to shield my eyes or I will have spots in my field of vision for a few seconds.  I am driving a car mind you and those few seconds could mean the world of difference.  I choose not to text or talk on the phone while I am driving because I don’t want to be distracted but these HID and LED headlights are creating just as much a distraction.  Maybe the headlights pass the intensity (Lumens) test however there don’t seem to be any regulations regarding wavelength of the headlamps.  Maybe that is what needs to be updated?  In the meantime, the HID and LED lamps need to be banned for the safety of all those on the road!!”
2/5/2018	“Headlights are too bright. They are becoming a safety hazard.”
2/4/2018	“I’ve created a Facebook group called LED’s:The Sun of Hell, because of this blinding, hellish light. I have done extensive research, the AMA recommends streetlights be shielded and below 3,000 Kelvins. Headlights cannot be shielded, and they are often twice the AMA recommendation regarding Kelvins. We are being subjected to criminally dangerous ignorance by city officials, building managers, and the automobile industry regarding these lights. The reason for them, energy savings, is also being negated by increasing the number of fixtures, even rural outbuilding are festooned with them, mounted horizontally to blind passing drivers.”
1/30/2018	“LED and Zion lights were designed by technology to be brighter, BUT OUR EYE BALLS ARE STILL THE SAME.”
1/28/2018	“This has to be fixed-new car low beams are brighter than my high beams. Another great example of stupidity beating out logical safety.”
1/28/2018	“I am so tired of putting up with having to decide if whatever I need to do after dark is worth a 2 day headache or puking! Especially since the city of portland Oregon in its infinite stupidity put up led streetlights. It’s REALLY scary trying to drive here! You can’t see pedestrians, the blinding effect of the headlights odds much worse, and to top it all off… The police cars and buses are the most blinding… I’ve had to stop in the middle of the street because I can’t see too even pull off to the side! How many young people have to start turning up with cataracts before something is done?!”
1/25/2018	“The situation is intolerable. Driving was once my expression of freedom but with the blinding headlights coming at me and if not coming at me, bouncing into my rear view mirror. I have to shift my eyes from the glare which makes me unable to see pedestrians. Street driving after dusk is more anxiety producing than highway and highway is terrible. It feels like people have thier brights on all the time at night.”
1/25/2018	“I find them difficult on the eyes, they are blinding and hurt sensitive eyes.  Obnoxious!”
1/23/2018	“They are extremely unsafe especially when tractor trailers have them. Most people that have them that I know laugh and think it’s funny. It’s dangerous.”
1/23/2018	“It is extremely difficult to see at night while being bombarded with these headlights. The lighting used by crews doing road repairs is also blinding.”
1/23/2018	“PLEASE BAN THESE BLINDING LIGHTS ON CARS! They are lethal!”
1/17/2018	“This must happen. Some models low beams (eg. Cadillac Escalade) are brighter than the high beams on most cars.”
1/17/2018	“They sure impact my eyes badly. I have to put my hand up to block them when driving at night. Not good!”
1/16/2018	“Also blinding when they’re tail gating you”
1/15/2018	“These lights are extremely dangerous, especially when driving through tall hills”
1/15/2018	“I have been forced from my job by LED lighting and now struggle just to drive. I can see just fine with my halogen headlights, incandescent flashlight and incandescent lighting in my home but the LEDs give me an instant headache, brain fog and eye strain. Even Apple acknowledged the problem with LED lighting by giving a "Night Shift" mode to the iOS devices that tints the display to a warmer yellow tone. We have laws against distracted driving due to cell phones but they allow LED / HID / Focused Beam headlights, LED taillights, LED brakelights (especially the ones that pulse on emergency vehicles), LED light bars (sold for off-road use but still used on-road) and LED emergency vehicle lights that are even more blinding than the headlights!I used to enjoy driving at night and didn’t mind working the night shift; then LED lighting ruined my life.Put SAFETY FIRST! Completely ban and outlaw LED lighting on vehicles and anywhere where drivers on roadways will be affected by them.”

1/6/2018	“I’m a total gearhead and love all things “car”, and I have never understood why these lights are legal. They’re totally blinding and potentially dangerous for everybody on the road except the person using them.  Since when are halogen lights NOT good enough?”

1/2/2018	“I am definitely having issues driving at night. The lights of many oncoming cars are so blinding i am actually taking strange and possible dangerous steps to be able to drive. Sometimes i put my left hand up or look mostly to the right. This really prevents me from seeing anything to the left. I also have to slow down because i cannot there see the lines on the road or if there are any issues ahead whete i might need to take preventive measures. Please ban these extremely bright lights.”
1/2/2018	“Signing because headlight glare is becoming more of an issue  with the addition of high intensity headlights.”

2017
12/31/2017	“HID and other high intensity headlights need some serious regulating (such as Australia’s Design Rules). Many auto mfgs now have HIDS stock in their new vehicles.  They cause annoyance from vehicles behind you, which is not only dangerous, it is also a severe annoyance which can be dangerously distracting and lead to even more dangerous road rage.  In addition to this they often appear brighter than "Hi-Beams" and are a very severe safety concern.”

12/23/2017	“This needs to happen in Europe as well.”
12/23/2017	“I am dazzled by these blinding lights on a daily basis. I totally agree with Donald. There is also a new trend amongst cyclists to have similar blinding LED lamps that flash or strobe. These too are a source of distraction and increase the already dazzling amount light being aimed at drivers too regularly.”
12/22/2017	“I’ve almost had accidents because of these intensely blinding headlights. They should be banned and removed from the market.”
12/22/2017	“Thanks Auto Industry…you have ruined being outside at all. I despise your blinding headlights. Join our group to raise awareness and to ban these horrible LED lights. https://www.facebook.com/groups/155084901640186/”
12/22/2017	“I get migraines from these horrible lights. They make driving unsafe due to temporary blindness!”
12/22/2017	“There are more and more of these lights and I find them unbearable.  I don’t have a problem with the lights on older cars.  The daytime lights become quite horrible if the driver omits to turn on the headlights when it gets dark and these tiny glaring lights become more intense.  Something should be done to regulate car (and street) lights, which are now also being changed to LEDs and which cause bright spots on one’s peripheral vision and provide light which does not spread causing dark areas.  Something must be done about this.  I know someone who had an accident caused by being dazzled by a car coming over a humped crossing towards her.”

These drivers dont have respect at all i think it the older people who be driving at night in their 60s and above thinking they are young. They should have a age cut off limit on elderly peopleover the age 50 and above shouldnt have a licsense period and people who uses their high beems should get a ticket no matter what and have their lic taken on the spot.”

12/6/2017	“I find these high intensity lights dangerous and annoying. I believe they are on a par with main beam headlights of old.There is no need for them. On poorly lit roads there is main beam to use.I did a test on a lit motorway with no other traffic around and turned my lights OFF, I couldn’t tell i’d turned them off.  So in other words on lit roads there’s no need for these eye ball melting headlights. These high intensity lights on today’s cars are a marketing gimmick and a dangerous one at that.I believe people are driving around now, who don’t have these high intensity lights fitted in their cars, with main beam on because they think it’s ok to do so.Standards are dropping all the time, in fact, they’ve gone.”
12/5/2017	“I would love to see them ban these new lights had some idiots run me off the road cause they seem to want to ride my bumper with these lights in my eyes and I couldn’t see my turn for them being so blinding!! I think the real reasons for them to have these lights  they are also using them in poaching cases !!!  ”

12/5/2017	“I want to help save more lives”
12/5/2017	“For the longest time, I thought it was just me.  This problem affects all age groups.  Sometimes I turn my eyes to the right to avoid oncoming ‘spotlights.’  When the bright lights are behind me, if I turn the side mirrors to just the right angle, the reflected light goes back to the person behind me and they back off.  In slow-moving, bright traffic I use my left hand to shield my eyes.  None of this should be necessary.  Last evening, I flashed my hi-beams at a truck, and he turned on the light-bar rack that was on the roof of the cab.   Is this a Mine-are-brighter-than-yours contest?  There needs to be a limit to how many lights can be on a vehicle, and how bright those lights can be.”
12/4/2017	“I understand that headlights are important for drivers to be able to see at night, and in the rain. However, extra bright lights make it harder for other drivers to be able to see, making the roads more dangerous for everyone. They can also be a trigger for migraines in some people. When a migraine is triggered, it often affects vision and reaction tome, and is frequently excruciating. Extra bright lights can cause accidents, which can result in serious injuries, or even death. Regular headlights should be sufficient for all drivers.”
12/4/2017	“LED lights are blinding and cause migraines for me and many wrecks! Fog lights are just as bad!”

12/4/2017	“I suffer from photophobia and it triggers debilitating migraines that last for days! I also have to drive at night as a courier since my migraines prevent me from having a full-time job doing my regular work. In confronted with these blinding lights each night and have to wear special glasses in order to survive them! But even with the glasses on, the lights are still too bright. It’s awful. Please do something about this problem. Thank you.”
12/4/2017	“Because I have Multiple Sclerosis and since losing my sight then regaining that ability after the passing of an exacerbation years ago I have had a very difficult time driving at nighttime as well as at “twilight”. The lights used now are horrific and do cause me instant migraine if in face of them! Please call for discontinue use of these types of ultra bright lights even at lowest setting!”
12/4/2017	“There are many times the brightness and glare blinds me, either being at a single lane two way traffic lanes or easily and most common method from behind. I’ve flashed the upcoming vehicle from opposite direction assuming their headlights were on “high beam” so they can turn down their headlights. However, I’ve been flashed back to let me know it is not their “high beam” lights, rather their normal “low beam” lights. I have taught myself to move positions in the seat while driving to avoid headlights from behind to strike me through the rear view mirror, even after have clicked on the rearview mirror’s night glare adjustment button below the mirror. Furthermore, many times these LED headlights in vehicles, except older year vehicles (1970, 1980, 1990) have initiative the start of migraine headaches, which is the main reason I avoid or very seldom drive at night time.”

12/4/2017	“I suffer from migraines and these lights give me an instant migraine.”
12/3/2017	“Night driving continues to get worse.  People with fog lights and the brighter LED lights are ruining my eyes.  I have friends who also complain.  It is so hard to see with those lights coming right at you.  I drove 3206 miles in Oct. and over the week had to do night driving.  By the end of the trip which was a very long night drive of 8 hours home, my vision was so messed up.  It’s been a couple months and driving at night is no fun.  The reason for the original yellow cast on the lights was to avoid all of this eye damage we are experiencing.  I am sick of it and really hope that something can be done.  When I see a car approaching with 4 or 6 lights on the front of their vehicle and there is no fog, it makes me want to put my headlights on bright so they can endure a little of what I am going through.  I hope something will be done soon.  Maybe the media needs to get involved to spread the word.”
11/29/2017	“I totally agree !! I also started a Petition myself in Canada. I thoroughly read your posting Donald Berry. Thank you for doing this !! We need to keep supporting this and sharing it so that manufacturers stop making these headlights, it causes accidents , casualties and damages peoples eyes. We need this to spread North America wide. If you could please support mine, I in huge support of yours. Blessings to you for doing this !!”
11/27/2017	“When I drive at night, I encounter many vehicles that have hid/blue-white headlights that are too bright and cause pain and temporary blindness. I have to hold up my hand to block some of the light. STOP THE PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF THESE TYPES OF LIGHTS”
11/24/2017	“I am TIRED of being BLINDEDby oncoming LED car headlights. It is difficult to see the road in front of me!”

11/24/2017	“I agree they are unnecessarily too bright”
11/23/2017	“LED street lights and headlights cause dangerous glare and brightness that make driving after dark dangerous. Additionally, individuals with migraine disorders find it difficult to impossible to drive safely at night.”
11/22/2017	“These new headlights are blinding in the night time while driving.”
11/22/2017	“Driving without seeing is dangerous to me and you!”
11/21/2017	“I hate these dazzling lights with their blue tinge.  They may help those driving cars fitted with them to see better what is in front, but they blind the rest of us whether the lights are shining in our faces or into our rear-view mirrors.”
11/17/2017	“LED lights hurt my eyes while driving and should be banned before they cause more accidents. They also cause migraines and should be banned from all lighting. I am personally affected by these lights.”
11/16/2017	“I work 50-60 hours a week driving on the road half of those hours are after the sun goes down and then my evening/night is constant blinding, headache, road rage sometimes, frustration and seeing dots for many seconds! It’s getting ridiculous this should never ever be ok or legal to us regular citizens! Police I can understand more but when lately all I see is bright bright blinding headlights in front of me and behind me blinding from both directions at same time and also cora buses, fire trucks these are huge trucks 10 times bigger than my small short Toyota Camry! Please stop the use of these for regular civilians please! It’s so irritating and so so so very very dangerous every single day after dark hits everyday! Please stop the use of led lights please I’m begging! I’m so scared I will wreck because I’m being blinded by almost every or every other vehicle in front and behind me all the time! This should be immediately taken out of regular vehicles seriously. I know they r nice and cool also la”
11/16/2017	“Hate them”
11/14/2017	“I can’t see the road when these things are blaring in my mirrors !”
11/13/2017	“I find these lights blinding.”
11/13/2017	“Extraneous lighting, especially in wavelengths shorter than 610 nanometers, has nothing but harmful effects, particularly biological and astronomical.”
11/13/2017	“They blind me too.”
11/11/2017	“HID and LED lights, especially of the blue-ish colour temperature and a public safety hazard.  They should be banned.  Vehicles that are equipped with them should be required to have them removed, even if they are installed by the factory.  why is there not already a standard in-place that restricts the brightness of these lights?  HIS lights create a hazard by blinding drivers.  They also can be a health hazard by causing damage to the eyes other drivers.  Additionally, these lights promote aggressive behaviour and are often used as a weapon against other drivers.”
10/29/2017	“Coming at you , behind you , if the police knew haw many tickets they can issue for this offense they would be right on it …..!!!!!!”
10/29/2017	“Is there anyway to go after the manufactures or stores hawking these….”
10/26/2017	“I have been in too many blinding situations that could have resulted in an accident or worse as of late.  Seems allot more cars this year have them then before.  I get anxiety close to the end of work knowing I will soon be in traffic.  Nowadays it seems every other car has their high-beams on and pointed right in my face.  I run a computer repair shop and i am looking at screens all day, so going into what feels like a police search light right in my face is beyond scary and just plain dangerous and disrespectful in too many ways.  All HID lighting should be banned on cars in my opinion.  If you have to literally put a lighting ballast to amplify power into your headlights then you are purposely trying to blind drivers is my belief.   End rant :)”
10/18/2017	“It is important for this campaign to ban not only the blue/white (LED) headlights but also the white ones with too much luminosity, and also the two lights below headlights that are white and almost as bright as headlights. There are also wreaths of lights around headlights and other candlepower embellishments that apparently appeal to people’s egos.  They (ego trippers and corporations seeking to indulge them) will fight back with other distracting lighting, including excessive tail lights. The overall issue of cars being lit up in many distracting ways should be addressed from the beginning.”
10/7/2017	“I really struggle with the brightness of car headlights in the UK, they really make my eyes hurt to look at them. At the age of 37 I am not the only one of my age I know that find them ridiculously bright”
10/3/2017	“I am regularly blinded while driving home at night, especially when I am on my motorcycle.  The effect of multiple high intensity headlights from several oncoming cars behind one another is so painful that I have to look off the road to the right, which is almost as bad as driving with my eyes closed.  I hope there is a remedy for this problem soon.  Thanks”
9/27/2017	“This is problematic for me as well.”
9/27/2017	“Stop the accidents!!!!”
9/26/2017	“I’m absolutely tired of not being able to see the road as these types of lights pass, not to mention, tailgating issues. It causes headaches and spots in my vision, along with anyone else I have conversed with on the subject. We’ve seen fine for years with old halogens, and I say that’s all we need! It’s enough to deal with halogen high beams!”
9/26/2017	“Very dangerous”
9/25/2017	“blue light is classified as a class 2a  carcinogen in night shift workers. WHO. White LEDs are rich (30% or more) in blue light, shown to inhibit melatonin and disrupt circadian rhythms. Moonlight affects circadian rhythms in humans how much then will LED streetlights disrupt our biological  clock?”
9/21/2017	“I’ve had to put up a curtain behind my front seats to drive at night because these damn LED lights light up the inside of my car from behind like it’s friggin’ day light!!!! They need to be BANNED now!”
9/6/2017	“i believe in preservation of vision. the laser/tazer from the driverless cars have also blinded me. so did the strobes from the redflex defective photo radar cameras. flashblinding, glare or distraction of a driver or pilot, atlease from laser in arizona, is a class 5 felony.”
9/6/2017	“the led’s and rf bulbs are designed to blind, the smartmeters also have sonic and tazer capabilities, the driverless cars invading arizona run on lidar- laser and radar- designed to cause reflected eye injury and blindness.”
9/6/2017	“I’m tired of being blinded on the road at night.”
8/28/2017	“I can not say just how dangerous this is, especially for the pedestrian who wears glasses!!!”
8/25/2017	“I have autism, and am already extremely sensitive, especially to lights (some can give me migraines- bright LED xmas ones are a hazard if I get carried away with Christmas spirit and can’t help but look).  When someone has their brights on, even during the day, my eyes are still reeling for minutes after.  With the new LED blue, purple, etc lights,  I can’t even look sideways without still being affected.   I thought I was alone in how much this sensory overload hampers my good driving.  I’m glad to not suffer in silence anymore about lights that took a serious problem for me and made it astronomical.”
8/23/2017	“I am literally blinded by the light! Turn down those high beams. Seriously. If your eyesight is that bad, you shouldn’t be driving at night!”
8/20/2017	“I’m hoping this will bring change across the world, because they too have arrived in Australia!First I thought it was high beams, but the sheer amount of cars with these glare emitting lights have increased significantly.It’s completely unsafe, as a frequent driver at night, oncoming vehicles with these lights blind me, like a camera flash … I have to squint and slow down my driving.If it’s a car behind me, I fear changing lanes because my side view mirrors are completely useless as all I see is glaring white light and I can’t see the other lanes. So unsafe!Also, the light emitting from them hurt my eyes. If my body is hurting from this, when previous halogen lights did not, then I know this is not right and not OK!”
8/19/2017	“I’m tired of being blinded on major highways and/or interstates.”
8/18/2017	“Blinding tail lights on most new vehicles and big rigs can impair your vision even at a distance and are brighter than stop lights. News media should be involved in the subject.Auto manufacturers and departments responsible for driver safety do not seem to be driving and noticing the problem.Some service stations have blinding LED price sign that you cannot distinguish the numbers”
8/17/2017	“It’s true and very distracting. Needs to be regulated”
8/16/2017	“The blue lights not only cause an instant headache but also induce vomiting and the bright leds cause temporary blindness.”

8/10/2017	“Audi and Volkswagon headlights are especially nazi.”
8/8/2017	“Many times I’ve narrowly avoided going off the road or driving into oncoming traffic because I was blinded by blinding LED headlights.  These lights are endangering everyone on the road and should be banned.”

7/26/2017	“It’s not safe for us it necessary to have these blinding lights on cars….the roads are unsafe as it is…..stop the lights”
7/26/2017	“These abusive auto lights must be banned asap while we still have some peace of mind on our public highways. Please spread the word on these and donate to our just cause!  Thanks again Donald.”
7/26/2017	“I can’t drive at night anymore. The blinding lights in front of and behind distract and make it impossible to navigate my vehicle. My eyes are overwhelmed even if I try to look away.”
7/20/2017	“Yes, please ban these lights. Much too bright at night. Also they really are an irritant during the day. A bright light coming towards you when it is already sunny is quite the distraction and we don’t need move distractions while driving. It is dangerous enough. That split second of distraction can cause an accident.  Also a problem with cars behind you as well. Turn off the lights during the day, please.”
7/19/2017	“LED headlights are incredibly bright and can be blinding, including in sideview mirrors.  LED taillights can also be hazardous.”
7/19/2017	“Yes, please ban these lights. The lights are so bright at night. My eyes hurt during the day when these stupid lights are on in the first place. It’s one thing to have the lights on when it is rainy or really cloudy or snowing but its altogether when it’s already bright and then you look behind you and you have this bright light in your eye. It’s really irritating and I wish people would just turn them off when it is sunny or not required for the situation.  When I see them, it affects me for a brief second and that could be deadly for me as well as the other drivers on the road.”
7/19/2017	“Yes, please ban these lights. The lights are so bright at night. My eyes hurt during the day when these stupid lights are on in the first place.

7/17/2017	“Ban Blinding Headlights and Save Lives!”
7/10/2017	“No one should be blinded by someone else’s headlights at night while trying to drive. When I go out anymore at night I have to wear tinted clipons over my glasses in order for me to be able to see properly. When it snows it rains it makes it much worse! We all need to be more safety conscience!”
7/8/2017	“My friends and I do not drive at night if it can be avoided.  Ages. 35 to 55”

6/28/2017	“When driving towards cars with HID lights it is like driving towards a vehicle with main beam on. With these lights I have to look to the side of the road. DAMNED DANGEROUS!!!  and uncalled for. If you need lights that bright to see further ahead, you are driving too fast, (I’m no slouch).”
6/19/2017	“Todays’ halogen headlights are bright enough. LEDs and those blue Xexons should be BANNED! Along with foglights and all headlight type Daytime Running Lights (except motorcycles). Only the “Amber” DRLs should be allowed on cars, trucks, and buses, not headlights.”
6/18/2017	“In addition, all LED emergency lights on law enforcement and first responder vehicles need to banned, especially roof mounted emergency lights. They blind motorist, pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency responders, including law enforcement officers. Federal and State laws require motorists to move over while approaching an emergency zone or traffic stop, but it cannot be safely performed if being blinded by LED emergency lights. Even first responders and law complain of being blinded by their own vehicle’s LED emergency lights.”
6/16/2017	“I DRIVE AND TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS PETITION.GOOD LUCK.”
6/15/2017	“As someone who has some severe migraines, I almost desperately want these high intensity lights off the roads. They make the roads more dangerous, not safer.”
6/14/2017	“Bright lights are an obvious safety issue with a simple solution. I rarely drive at night in places where there is moderate to heavy traffic because the lights make it difficult to see.”
6/14/2017	“Lights on vehicles, and elsewhere, have, generally speaking, become WAY too bright in recent years, as regards both comfort and safety. This is a worldwide phenomenon which is largely out of control and urgently needs to be addressed.”
6/13/2017	“Same for me. It’s like a catch 22. I am forced to view traffic situations indirectly, which is potentially dangerous. Never had a problem in 30 years of driving, and then almost suddenly this crazy escalation in glare virtually every on the road.”
6/6/2017	“Thank you for starting this petition! These headlights annoy this sh*t out of me!..Everytime someone gets behind me driving with these bright LED lights, I feel like having a extremely bright light in back of my car to shine in their eyes so they know what they’re submitting drivers to! Thank you for starting this..I hope we can get the DOT to look into this.”
6/4/2017	“I want to drive in safety like I used to be able to, particularly at night-time. I’ve had to give driving after dark!”
6/4/2017	“I have been temporarily blinded by the led headlights”
5/29/2017	“Even for non-drivers the lights are visually painful as well as obscuring. I have problems in my eyes as it is and I do not need to have another issue with my eyes because of these lights that sometimes I think are high beams. Whoever thought these were ‘SAFE’ on the roads seriously had no clue. Get rid of them or tone them down. Thank you.”
5/28/2017	“I cannot see when these super bright lights are approaching me!  They should be illegal because at the very least it is distracting and forces me to look away.  At that point I’ve lost track of oncoming traffic or a road hazard.”
5/28/2017	“I am blinded on the road by these types of headlights.”
5/28/2017	“As a person who is hypersensitive to lights and knowing many others as well also affected, these are very dangerous and can cause side effects that last hours if not more, even to those who are not hypersensitive.”
5/27/2017	“I have been against these absolutely stupid lights since they first came out. I get black spots in my eyes from them as if a flashbulb went off. Not good for driving at all! Who was stupid enough to approve these?!”
5/26/2017	“These headlights need to go.Headlights originally were shining forth a beam, now it has flood light appearance which blinds the heck out of you when oncoming”

5/21/2017	“I feel like my safety is being compromised when people use the extremely bright headlights, and I also living in Pennsylvania, where they have strict window tinting laws on passenger vehicles only, and those laws are unconstitutionally oppressing my safety as a passenger vehicle owner.”

5/9/2017	“I have been a victim of those blinding lights”
5/9/2017	“I’m signing because the HID & LED headlamps are dangerous and annoying. Studies say light above 3000k is bad for your eyes. High intensity headlamps USED to be illegal in California- What happened?”
5/8/2017	“I hope the government listens”
5/8/2017	“I am tired of being blinded by these dangerously bright headlights.”
5/8/2017	“These lights are too bright and are a hazard they are blinding with oncoming traffic, as well as traffic behind me”

5/8/2017	“i AM BOTHERED BY THOSE PAINFULLY BRIGHT ON-COMING HEAD LIGHTS. tHEY ARE A ROAD HAZARD. WHY HAVE THEY BEEN  ALLOWED TO BE MANUFACTURED?”
5/8/2017	“The trend of drivers converting their headlights to HID & even just installing 5500K & higher Bulbs to Halogen type headlight housing can be very dangerous to other drivers. The Halogen housing has no filters and the light is spread out too widely over the entire lens causing road glare. Many of the newer cars have projector type housing which limits road glare & auto adjustments as long as it’s under 5500K.”
5/8/2017	“These lights are dangerous, blinding and irritating.”
5/8/2017	“Blinding headlights at night are annoying and dangerous.  Too much blue light is also dangerous.  Check Harvard Medical School blue light…”
5/8/2017	“The blinding headlights are nothing but a hazard… No way, they need to be that bright.”
5/8/2017	“To outlaw high intensity headlights”

5/6/2017	“I can’t see when people are driving towards me with those headlights. Then I’m blind for a good 10 seconds after they pass”
5/6/2017	“They are like looking straight at the sun!!”
5/6/2017	“Can’t see in those headlamps! Blinding.”
5/6/2017	“These lights are horrible, and they due cause accidents because drivers and pedestrians are blinded by them.”
5/6/2017	“I’ve been complaining about this very issue for well over a decade.”
5/6/2017	“It make sense.  Typically it takes 30 minutes for eyes to be re-adjusted after being expose to bright light [simple test, how long does it take your eyes to be readjusted after walking into your house from a bright sunny day WITHOUT WEARING SUNGLASSES.  There is still no standard for how strong those headlights can be (# of lumins). Although CA vehicle code requires the distance these lights can illuminate, but who’s enforcing that? Pull a roller tape out from the police officers back pocket?”
5/5/2017	“FOOTCANDLES are the measurement of light that comes out of a headlight. Low beam/high beam intensity was established when the modern yellow light headlight was first invented. All new headlights outside these long-established standards are by definition: illegal. What part of “illegal” don’t headlight manufacturers understand today? This petition is really unnecessary. Just ENFORCE THE LAW already.”
5/5/2017	“Yes! These after market headlamps are becoming brighter. There have been times where I’m unable to turn left because the previous oncoming car was so blinding it left spots in my eyes. When it rains the ground becomes a shiny mess, to the point the lines are nearly invisible. And the height standards for the headlamps need to also be accounted for, because if they point straight ahead like an arrow, even the cab of the car ahead is filled with blinding, distracting brightness, making the exterior and the crosswalks hard to view. I don’t need to wear glasses, my vision is fine so even wearing glare resistant lenses are not an option.”
5/5/2017	“The  headlights are too bright and can cause accidents. People use them to bully cars in traffic, also.”
5/5/2017	“I commute 65-75 miles one way. I see a lot of cars with blinding headlights and I agree it’s dangerous. It’s hard to keep eyes on the road when there is so much glare.”
5/5/2017	“Very dangerous lighting and causes accidents”
5/5/2017	“Too bright and blinding. Also turn indicators set so close to day running lights you cant see them even though they should automatically dim.”
5/5/2017	“Bright headlights are very unsafe for other drivers. Especially where I live, it makes it hard to see other road hazards like wildlife.”

5/5/2017	“they are blinding!!”
5/5/2017	“In the UK we have exactly the same problem. You have said it all above. I do ask the question what sort of driver, deliberately driver thinks it is safer to drive with lights on reducing visibility.”
5/5/2017	“These headlights make it so difficult to drive at night! They are blinding and dangerous. I do not feel safe with these lights on the road.”
5/5/2017	“I’m signing because driving while temporarily blinded is dangerous.”
5/5/2017	“It is a dangerous trend.”
5/5/2017	“The bright lights force me to turn my eyes away from an oncoming car or, if the car is behind me, I must turn my rear or side mirror away from the lights.  Dangerous.”
5/5/2017	“Yes, these new LED headlights are a hazard;  Especially the ones that have the blue/white toned ones.”
5/5/2017	“As a migraine sufferer this is a HUGE issue for me.”
5/4/2017	“I cant stand driving and all you see coming or behind you blue tinted lights! These lights make it extremely hard to see the road at night”
5/4/2017	“These lights are dangerous and blinding”
5/4/2017	“its to hard to see pedestrians so lets save lives!”

5/4/2017	“The LED lights blind me, and are unsafe to other drivers”
5/4/2017	“Thank you for starting this petition. My husband and I we find it hard to drive at night because of the new glaring headlights.  It is an obstacle especially for aging eyes.  We were wondering how this could be allowed.  I stopped driving at night.  This means no shopping.   I wonder how many people like me are impacting the economy in such way because of these glaring headlights. Regular headlights do not bother me.”
5/4/2017	“Those LED lights are blinding!!!  They need to be outlawed!!!”
5/4/2017	“I’m tired of being blinded when I drive at night”
5/4/2017	“These are blinding and trigger my migraines. No lights should be so bright as to cause a person to feel tortured”
5/4/2017	“The new LED headlights are to bright, especially when shining right into a rear-view mirror. I drive a sedan and always have to adjust my mirror when an SUV is behind me with the LED lights because the brightness is overwhelming. It also seems as is the brights are on when a car in on-coming traffic is driving towards me with LED lights. They need to figure out a way to make warm colored LEDs for car and not the bright white, bluish color.”
5/4/2017	“It’s so hard to drive at night when you have these bright headlights behide you or even on the frwy the opposite traffic headlights…those brights lights make me turn my head or close my eyes…or i get such a glare i can’t see and have to break to make sure im not gonna crash into the person in front of me!”
5/4/2017	“They r blinding”
5/4/2017	“Rather than making night driving safer, brighter headlights encourage drivers to drive even faster! In California, the maximum speed limit is considered by many to be the minimum.”
5/3/2017	“Thank you for starting this petition!  The bright white headlights are awful whether oncoming or in your rear view mirror.”
5/3/2017	” They’re blinding. And makes me drive slower because at times I can’t see the road. Worse during the rain. Yeah good for the driver using it.. BAD & extremely dangerous for the defenseless on coming traffic.  Headlights were just fine years ago when you can define an on coming vehicle instead of driving in fear at times.  before these detracting and dangerous lights.”
5/3/2017	“I believe new legislation is required to control acceptable levels of vehicle lighting on today’s roads. This includes all motor vehicles as well as cycles and other road users ,”
5/3/2017	“There is such a chronically diverse range of headlight colours, brilliance, degrees of glare and intensity on cars on the road today, they are becoming a danger to all road users. Therefore, it is imperative that these concerns are addressed and the manufacturers should not be able to dictate the terms, purely as some sales gimmick to attract potential buyers. Lights can and are, frequently, used aggressively, wilfully and to deliberately intimidate. There, almost, seems to be a quite bizarre mentality that makes and turns the brightness and intensity of car lights into some type of prestige and status. “My lights are bigger and brighter than yours, so get out of my way”!”
5/2/2017	“I am often blinded by bright headlights. It’s putting me off driving at night.”
5/2/2017	“I sufer myself and find many siuations where I know to be unsafe because of this.”

4/20/2017	“These headlights are killing people”
3/28/2017	“I’m signing this petition because these headlights are blinding and dangerous. I would like the UK government to ban them too and perhaps if this petition is successful the government of the U.K. will take some action too.  Please sign, especially those with LUPUS who are light sensitive – see the article in NEWS AND VIEWS, Spring 2017.”
3/26/2017	“These annoying headlights are blinding. I have migraines and they make them 1000x worse!! Please get these headlights removed from the market!!”
3/26/2017	“Glare from these blinding headlights make it difficult to focus on the road. They are painful to the eye and completely unnecessary.”
3/24/2017	“I stopped driving at night, due to glare, missed out on many club meetings, had to leave xmas and thanksgiving visits before dark, affects my ability to drive all winter when sun sets early. Couldn’t see lady walking dog on side of road one night, this is definitely a health hazard for people of all ages. No need for these types of lamps. Please ban them, before they existed we managed without them for over one hundred years.”
3/22/2017	“I am signing because this is a world wide problem and we have to wake up and do something about it.”
2/25/2017	“Blinding White LED lights on vehicles are a lethal hazard and should be banned forthwith! :(“
2/12/2017	“I thought it was against the law to drive with high beams on.”
2/11/2017	“I don’t wanna go blind!”
1/24/2017	” I have been blinded by the glare of LED headlights.  Their intensity needs better regulation”
1/21/2017	“These headlights cause headaches for both me and my fiancée. We always have to darken the rearview mirror or change lanes when they’re behind us at night.”
1/18/2017	“These lights are a misery to other drivers. They are completely over the top too bright, glaring and painful to look at. Ban them! Please!”
1/16/2017	“I’m tired to seeing blinding headlights that put our lives at risk.”
1/14/2017	“I am not bothered by normal headlights at night but the first time I saw LED headlights I thought I”
1/14/2017	“too hard on eyes”
1/12/2017	“Headlights are so bright now that even looking away toward the shoulder makes it almost impossible to see in oncoming traffic. I have to slow down almost to a stop until the car goes by before i can continue. it is ridiculous”
1/10/2017	“It is very strange that the U.S. government, which did so much to legislate better vehicle safety over the years, nowadays seems to ignore one of the biggest driving hazards–those insanely bright LED and HID headlights!! For anyone driving at night, these lights are a nightmare to deal with.  When these first came out, the designers thought they were helping things by brightening the driver’s field of vision–mostly a superfluous concern because the older headlights were more than adequate for most driving conditions–and drivers had beams anyway for the darkest conditions, and could get fog lights too.  But is is totally unnecessary–and actually harmful–to have these ultra bright lights ON ALL THE TIME. What has been totally neglected is the safety consequences for the other drivers that are forced to look into the lights!!  The alleged benefits of increased brightness of the road ahead is negated by the blindness these lights are causing other drivers.  Especially at night, driving on a highway or busy r”

12/31/2016	“I cant say enough against headlight use during the day. It is no wonder fatalities have increased when ignorant motorists make it painful to keep your eyes on the road. I refer to it as a visual equivalent of nails on a chalk board. I have unfortunately had to learn to drive looking out the passenger window. Stop . . . Please, stop.”
12/24/2016	“I have excellent vision, but since about 2-years ago, I have had hot pain when cars with those horribly bright lights are near. Driving at night now takes longer, because I simply pull off the road to wait until vehicles with such painfully bright lights pass me. How can drivers with these lights not know the dangers these lights pose?! If you are behind another vehicles, you NEVER need to have high beam lights on. I have been dreaming of a light up sign that says. Get off my bumper with high beams on! This is a huge danger and I refuse to have “high beam bullies” run me off the road! I am serious about my child’s safety! The government is supposed to be for the people and of the people. Let’s tell them that regulation of these terrible lights is necessary!”
12/14/2016	“Years ago I spoke with NHTSA regarding this very issue, including advising them that the already noted increase in fatalities was likely due to these unregulated lights.  Now they care?  When I talked to them they said “a lot of people will need to die” before they act at all on this issue.  Fools and sociopaths.  Read my articles below.  NOTE that limiting light emitted to that of traffic signals is a very bad idea as our traffic signals are also blindingly glaring and those are the ones placed by IDOT (IL DOT).Dr. Coleman<a href=”https://sliceiconic.com/2015/01/26/led-lights-dangerous-on-roadways-and-off/” rel=”nofollow”>https://sliceiconic.com/2015/01/26/led-lights-dangerous-on-roadways-and-off/</a><a href=”https://sliceiconic.com/2016/03/29/blinding-headlights/” rel=”nofollow”>https://sliceiconic.com/2016/03/29/blinding-headlights/</a>”
12/13/2016	“They blind me and cause headaches! It is not only oncoming, when these headlights are behind me, they are just as blinding no matter how I adjust my mirrors! And do not think about replacing them with the proposed laser! Why cant we just go back to past headlights! They did not cost as much to replace either! The new headlights are a danger!”
12/11/2016	“How has this not passed yet? Come on 11 more signatures! And how have SNL not mocked LED lights yet either? Am I the only one that wants to drive around with a baseball bat and blow out every Nissan Truck’s LED lights that blind people as they drive. Baby Boomers, trying to run the world, can’t figure out how to not blind people. Just retire already!”
12/11/2016	“I’m signing because I don’t want one blinding ray hitting my eye, every night, for 362 nights for the next 20 years until I prematurely go blind. Shall we take all the odd farts in congress and shine bright lights in their eyes and just do it, for a full year, great test.  Chicago is about to put these in neighborhoods….mostly because Rahm Emmanuel is retard who runs a bankrupt city, yet throws dinner parties like he’s celebrity.  #Political Career should be over”
12/11/2016	“Politicians who vote for LED’s because of lobbyist, should be stuck by lighting and fed to sharks.”
12/11/2016	“I have children, and driving is becoming more difficult, and I’m worried for their safety if I get blinded by these things and crash”
12/11/2016	“In German, would call people who use LED lights, slightly evolved monkeys. Blue light rays, high frequency rays are damaging. And as humans, we’re drawn to look at them, so its for sure bad”
12/11/2016	“We stare at computers all day admitting blue light, now we have them on cars as we drive home. May as well just shoot us now and gives us some poison while your at it. Thanks America, not”
12/11/2016	“America sucks”
12/11/2016	“This is getting ridiculous”
12/11/2016	“These are blinding!”
12/11/2016	“I’m signing because its better than throwing the users of LED lights in the gas chamber”
12/11/2016	“Fuck you congress.”
12/11/2016	“I have to drive to work and see this bullshit every morning,”
12/11/2016	“Because they’re fucking stupid”
12/11/2016	“How has the goal changed from 200 to 500? joke?”
12/7/2016	“Can we speed this up, I’m 29 and am loosing eyesight by the minute. How dumb are these people allowing this to happen? Fucking idiots, total argument against Darwinism, we’re getting dumber”
12/5/2016	“I cannot see at night!  This is getting crazy.  I’m 51 and over the past 2 years these lights have gotten brighter and they, the people who have them (after market ) lights seem to gain joy out of getting behind your vehicle and blinding you !  This is a crime in my opinion.  I’ve almost wrecked on several occasions and try and slow down so they will get the message but they get pissed off,  honk their horn and pass (thank God) and seem to not understand!   Do they not realize they are blinding the driver?  Not to mention the oncoming lights such as these!  These lights need to be banned immediately!”
12/4/2016	“I’m signing because this year I was afflicted by pain in my right eye from an LED light outside my window. This week I am moving house at great financial and emotional expense. Too many people don’t seem to understand the harm caused by LED lights.”
12/4/2016	“Tired of the bright white/blue headlights all night, every night. I can not see because of them”
11/30/2016	“It is a miracle I have not been involved in an accident, which would have been through no fault of my own.  Every day I am dazzled and blinded by these extremely dangerous headlights.  It is unacceptable to have them in use on the road.  These dangerous headlights must be removed immediately to save lives.”
11/29/2016	“I have been increasingly blinded at night by new cars with projector headlights and know many others especially my age and older who say these cars are making driving at night hazardous enough to make them wonder if they will have to stop driving at night. These cars make more light than others do with their high beams on and it’s dangerous.”
11/27/2016	“It’s causing deaths”
11/27/2016	“I’m signing because this has been a serious problem for me when driving at night.”
11/26/2016	“These lights are horrific and very debilitating. As a cyclist, I regularly have to get off my bicycle as I lose my orientation due to a an oncomer’s bright lights. This is ridiculous! What has happened to good old-fashioned consideration? And what about common sense? Vehicle lights – and lights in general – need to be adequate, not over-imposing! Regulations are urgently needed to stop this madness…..”
11/24/2016	“I am signing this because binding vehicle lights – whether from cars or bicycles –  are an absolute hazard for road users.  We urgently need to get back Due Diligence as well as good old-fashioned consideration for others who share the space with us.”
11/24/2016	“I’m signing because I’m fed up with having to dip my rear view mirror on bright sunny days because some idiot comes up behind with lights blazing.  Also fed up with lazy drivers who sit in front of me at traffic lights with their foot on the brake instead of using the handbrake.”
11/24/2016	“As a sufferer of frequent migraines, with bright lights being a major trigger, I stand behind this 100%. I am also the only licensed driver in a household of three, one of which often works nights, which means I cannot simply choose to not drive in the dark. These ultra-bright lights are definitely a hazard and should be banned.”
11/24/2016	“I couldn’t figure out why I was suddenly being affected by these lights, especially at night. I thought it was just me–even though my vision hadn’t changed–until I read all these comments. These lights are deadly dangerous.”
11/24/2016	“I believe it would serve driving safety and would save lives.”
11/24/2016	“They give me nauseating migraine just to catch a glimpse, I can’t go outside at night now because of LED car lights (and LED street lights -separate issue). Never mind that many drivers I know feel they are bullied off the roads by LED and HID headlights and break lights. It’s so difficult to see what’s around that particular oncoming car or what’s coming behind it, be it another car, pedestrian, cyclist. They are absolutely lethal and how car manufacturers are allowed put them on cars I just don’t understand. They use LED as a selling point yet they are extremely dangerous and manufacturers continue to promote them and increase their strength and intensity. It’s unbelievable how this is allowed to happen.”

11/23/2016	“day time running lights are extremely dangerous”
11/23/2016	“Automatic cornering lights should also be banned.”
11/22/2016	“Seriously people – we need to stop this dangerous trend before it creeps into all new vehicles! Read, learn, and take action!”
11/22/2016	“I recently took the written section of the Driver’s License Exam in California. One question asked what you should do if blinded by headlights. The correct answer: look down and to the right! How safe is that???”
11/21/2016	“Scares the livin’ daylights out of me !For safety sakes, I try to pull over to the right and stop till the driver disappears from sight.”
11/21/2016	“I have a hard time driving at night because of the blue LED blinding headlights.”
11/21/2016	“I would like to see all daytime headlights (except motorcycles) banned and replaced with the Amber daytime running lights.”
11/21/2016	“They are so bad, many people won’t drive at night. (Me included) Please ban these blinding headlights. Terrible invention.”
11/20/2016	“I am sick of being blinded by the light of some new cars–these lights are a hazard on the road and need to be recalled or made easier on the eyes of on coming drivers.”
11/20/2016	“Dangerous & blinding. Would have thought automotive companies would have tested them before making such a ludicrous decision!!!”
11/20/2016	“This is a pet peeve of mine. We used to distinguish between normal headlights and “brights”, the latter being appropriate only when you found yourself alone on the road. Now many of the new cars have “normal headlights” the exceed what “brights” used to be. They are blinding to both oncoming traffic and to traffic in the lane ahead of you. Please create legislation that regulates this and keeps us all safe.”
11/20/2016	“I’m a truck driver & am blinded all the time”
11/19/2016	“Blinding headlights and daytime lights are a menace to public safety and should be banned.”
11/19/2016	“these lights are dangerous the low beam of today is brighter than the high beams of yesterday, and laws were written to dim high beams of yesterday and now the lowbeams are brighter”
11/19/2016	“Please sign this”
11/19/2016	“Very distracting and dangerous from all angles (oncoming, rear or side views), especially raised vehicles.”
11/19/2016	“Particularly the LED headlights need to be better regulated or banned if they can’t be made less blinding. You can always tell when there is a new Acura or Audi coming at you”
11/19/2016	“I’m signing because these headlights have been blinding me for years. and no one would listen!”
11/19/2016	“I have been a bicyclist for 30 plus years, and cannot figure out why there is a need for even brighter lights when I thought the existing headlights on cars were good enough.   If the number of accidents hasn’t gone down this should be the most blatant of all messages to the manufacturing industry to re-assess the rationale behind a need for brighter lights.”
11/19/2016	“There are way too many vehicles with headlights that are blinding to other drivers.”
11/19/2016	” LED and HID headlights are so blinding, I’ve actually had to come to a complete stop on the road until they are past me because I cannot find anywhere to set my vision that allows me to safely continue until they are past me. They obviously must be responsible for some devastating motor vehicle fatalities, and have necessitated my stopping night time driving.”
11/18/2016	“These LEDs are simply blinding, dangerous and not necessary.”
11/18/2016	“I am signing because I agree that headlights are so bright and blinding.  They draw the eyes when you are driving and makes it almost impossible to see when walking and cycling.”
11/18/2016	“All auto manufacturers are responsible to recall autos and modify lights that do not meet safe DMV requirements.It is getting worse……”
11/18/2016	“There is absolutely no reason to have these lights except for someone wanting to make miney on a fad. get rid of them!!!!!”
11/18/2016	“I am signing because I can no longer drive at night because of the blue headlights.”
11/18/2016	“I have sensory processing issues. Many of these painfullt bright headlights blind me, and flashing turn signals cause me to stumble, sometimes into the street. These things are dangerous.”
11/18/2016	“I have had many problems with these types of lights, especially when a truck comes behind a car and the lights now blind everything in your mirrors and make it very hard to see.  This is very disturbing that the auto industry has allowed this and who tested this…. I wonder”
11/18/2016	“LED lights are especially blinding for the elderly as our eye gradually deteriorates.”
11/17/2016	“I’m signing because I daily get headaches from these blue headlights. My near-accident rate is also increased due to the blinding effect on my ability to focus at night.”
11/17/2016	“I am a daily bicycle commuter.”
11/17/2016	“I totally support this petition against the “lightmare epidemic” that has swept the world in recent years. Headlights, DRLs, fog lights and even reverse and brake lights have  become WAY too bright, as regards both comfort and safety.”
11/17/2016	“I hate the blue headlights!!!!!!”
11/17/2016	“DRLs are a hazard due to the glare they cause.”
11/17/2016	“The sooner they ban these LED lights the btter”
11/17/2016	“This is an issue that concerns people across the world – and it is so unnecessary! I write as a non-driver living in the UK, who is regularly dazzled by the headlights and daytime running lamps of passing vehicles. If this affects me, as a pedestrian, it’s obvious that the potential danger to and from drivers having their vision temporarily impaired is so much greater.”
11/17/2016	“Can’t stand bright headlights”
11/17/2016	“As a migrainer (and as such being very sensitive to these new kinds of overly intense and blue-rich white lights) and also flashing lights at high frequencies – I find these kinds of lights on both cars and bicycles not only trigger many multiple ill symptoms, but are also a major deterant to my ability to be able to drive or cycle on the road safely. Lighting on vehicles and bicycles has gone senseless – we don’t need such intense and overly bright blue-rich white lights to light our way at night.LED Bike lights flashing at fast speeds are actually highly annoying and very uncomfortable. In short – These lights are a deterant to road safety, being able to see properly on the road at night and are a major source of disability glare. Research has shown that such lights don’t increase road visability at all, but actually rather drastically reduce it. Because of blue-light scattering and reflection – they also provide less visability in rain, wet conditions and fog. If you have intense, blue-rich harsh light shi”

11/17/2016	“YES,  Please put a ban on all headlights that are over 3200k. Higher temperature light is blinding in the dark and simply a hazard to drivers as well as damage to our eyes. LED lights, sodium vapor lights, should not be used for car headlights or brake lights. Also the tint of headlights (blue, pink, green, we have all seen them) should also be banned.   When light of any intensity is reflected in rearview mirrors it is amplifed and even brighter, as what a mirror does to light. Super bright headlights become blinding and overwhelm the driver. I literally have to turn all of my mirrors down to avoid being blinded. Please act on this.”
11/17/2016	“I am signing this because I have been an opponent of too-bright lights for a long time.  NHTSA lied to me in writing that they would do something “soon” about the too-bright daytime running lights when first allowed in the 1990s.  Some 17 years later “soon” still has not arrived.  The entire issue of too-bright lights has been a disastrous failure by NHTSA.”
11/17/2016	“I’ve had to stop driving at night because of them, and that includes blinding brake lights too. As a working musician, they’ve ruined my working life, and I now think LEDs, over bright headlights and mandatory DRLs should be banned, or at least a sensible limit imposed on their output.”
11/17/2016	“As an electrical engineer who has investigated in detail outdoor lighting issues, I see the current trend toward brighter automotive lights with higher blue content as innovators exploiting a dangerous regulatory loophole.  LED technology offers plenty of solutions with lower blue light content at only a marginal increase in cost.  Only through regulations will auto makers adopt these better LED technologies.”
11/17/2016	“These headlights are very dangerous for Motorcyclists and bicyclists since while blinded by these lights motorist do not see smaller vehicles.  If you cannot see at night with normal head lights then you should not be driving at night.”
11/17/2016	“Thank god, these lights are so stupid. The mercury argument is weak, the higher frequency light is blinding. This is the most no brainer, and I’m stunned that we continue to elect congressmen without education”
11/17/2016	“I have been terrorized by blinding lights of oncomimg vehicles.  This has curtailed night driving for me.”
11/17/2016	“Cadillac in the 1960’s used to have a sensor on the dash to dim lights to on coming traffic automatically.  It would be a cheap fix.”
11/17/2016	“These lights are dangerous. Medical evidence says the automakers are exceeding safe limits.  Why are they allowed to get away by killing people all for a marketing gimmick?”
11/17/2016	“I have written to the British government 5 times., and every time they tell me its safer with light on”
