THIS APPLIES TO ALL OF THE NEWER CARS, TRUCKS ETC. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEW HEADLIGHTS ARE CALLED, BUT THEY ARE BRIGHT WHITE OR BLUISH IN TINT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY TIMES WHERE THE ONCOMING CARS WITH THESE LIGHT BLIND ME TO THE POINT I CAN'T SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE SINCE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE HAVE THESE LIGHTS AND US THEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH FOG LIGHTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, I CAN'T BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU STANLEY PRZYBYLSKI *TR
