My last car (before I gave up on cars and sold it) was a Honda from 2016. It no longer allowed me to adjust the lights. All my previous cars allowed me to lower the beam. Change the angle. This feature was removed.

Furthermore, the rearview mirror had a new feature to automatically "dim brightness from cars behind me". Which confirmed for me the problem of bright lights in general.

And finally, and most annoyingly: the Honda would automatically turn on the brights if it was night and it thought there was no car coming towards me. This feature was so buggy I had to switch to manual lights like 1992.

Writing this I am so happy I gave up cars.



At one point I even considered taping over the lights with seethrough yellow ducttape. Just to dim them.
