Years ago, I worked in the woodworking industry, mixing custom stains for custom cabinetry. We worked with a lot of designers and one in particular, that was very particular. When we made stains we had to name them. This particular designer brought us a color sample and the wood to match it on was beech. After MANY attempts and tweaks we finally got it. I named the stain Peaky Beech. She never caught on.🤣

Jackasses who drop HID and/or LED bulbs into housings not designed for them...
It ain't just them. There's a ton of vehicles coming straight off the dealership lot with lights that are just too bright. It's particularly bad if you have astigmatism, at least it is for me. I'm at the point where I'm starting to avoid driving at night, and I'm probably going to have to replace my headlights with a pair of HID sun cannons in self defense. That'll suck for everybody else but a man has to see the road.

One problem that happens a lot is these new trucks get lifted or a “ leveling kit “ installed and they don’t do a headlight alignment.

It’s not just the trucks, it’s every vehicle. There are tons of brand new vehicles with LED factory lights that have terrible designs with horrible light patterns. Couple that with owners installing aftermarket bulbs into housings that weren’t designed for them, and the fact that nobody seems to know or care to adjust their own headlights anymore… well, here we are.
