Why do cars nowadays have such ridiculously bright headlights?

Answer 1

I also think that because cars are getting bigger. Some cars like suv’s and crossovers are higher. So the lights shine right into the eyes of anyone with a smaller/lower car.

The more people buy them the more people that are blinded and more people buy bigger cars to avoid it.
