How can I punish all the idiots on the road with obnoxious headlights or drive around without high beams on?

I’m not OP and I wouldn’t personally use the word “punish,” but yeah, it would be great to disincentivize people adding aftermarket crazy bright lights to their vehicles.

I think I'd rather just get those yellow glasses. Y'all sound scary.

This op. I also find many cars’ lights to be too bright, but it’s the cars. They are not using high beams. Check your eyes for astigmatism cause that makes it worse for you.

Scary? I don’t want vigilante justice. I want the crazy bright aftermarket lights banned and I want law enforcement to fine people for having them. Cars shouldn’t pass inspection with them.

Everyone wants that. Also crackdown on the overly tinted windows.
If we could have ICE give out these fines while they are on the streets doing roadblocks anyway, that would be great. Maybe they would focus more on the lights and tinted windows and less on light and tinted people.

I guess we'll just hate to keep repeating it until it gets through your thick skull. WE ARE NOT ADDING AFTER MARKET LIGHTS. New cars come with lights brighter than you like. JFC!!!! Are you choosing to be dumb so you can justify shining YOUR brights at people?

I usually flash back, though.

+1. Stock Lexus SUV, and people flash their high beams at me at least once a week. I asked the dealer to check them, and they said they are aligned properly.

Like PP said, I usually just flash the other driver back to show them those aren't my high beams. Not the best response I know, but I'd prefer they realize my high beams are not on.

Why is it not the best response? What else can you do? Ignore them and have people like OP do even worse on the road?

Go F yourself. We’re talking about two different things. You’re talking about the original manufacturer headlights. I’m talking about the tricked out pickup trucks with additional lights added.

Right back at you. You have no idea what you're talking about or who has after market lights.

But meanwhile, until it’s banned, you want to punish people who didn’t commit any crime and may just have the vehicle they could afford so they can get their family around in the car dependent hellscape that is all most of us could afford.

We had just moved from a lovely walkable community (that we got gentrified out of) to a close in suburb when an elderly woman T-boned me. It was 4 pm on the day before the holiday. Enterprise gave us what they had. The agent tried for thirty minutes to adjust the lights. Eventually, he just apologized and sent us on our way.

Should I have been fined? Should we just have stayed home with a ruined holiday because that was the only rental we could get after someone’s senior grandma plowed into me?

No. If you have lights other than headlights on the front corners of your car (aka headlights), you have aftermarket lights. If you are driving in normal conditions, with them on, you are, indeed, an a-hole. 95% of the time it's a Jeep or a pickup.

You know every single make and model and what kind of lights they come with?

ZERO CHANCE!!!!
