I'd go further to say
most new vehicles with LED headlights are way too bright, especially on SUVs and trucks. The lamps are mounted so high up that you are almost guaranteed to be under the cutoff area and the emission intensity is unregulated (as unbelievable as this is, the federal standard does not have any limits for intensity). Stand next to a new Silverado or F150 and notice the headlamps are almost at roof level for a regular sedan. New LED lamps are literally 10x-20x brighter than normal halogens. Look on Amazon and you'll see drop in bulbs advertising 30,000 lumens with names like "The Punisher", which indeed they are.
