Major Shift in Headlight Regulations Possible as 89% of Drivers Report Issues with Overly Bright LEDs

UK motorists are increasingly concerned about the high intensity of modern car headlights, particularly LEDs, which they claim cause severe glare and hinder nighttime driving. A recent survey revealed that 89% of drivers believe certain headlights are excessively bright, and 91% have reported experiencing dazzling effects while driving. In response to these concerns, the UK government is conducting a study to examine the factors behind headlight glare and consider potential regulatory changes, with findings expected by summer 2025. The study aims to address the safety implications of bright headlights, especially as incidents related to dazzling lights have fluctuated over the years. Additionally, the issue has attracted the attention of international bodies, and further measures may be implemented by September 2027.
