Does anyone else think headlight bulbs that are on sale are way too bright?

Are these xenon bulbs the ones that appear to change colour in your peripheral vision?

 

I was on the M1 a few nights back and I actually thought for a short while that I was being followed by and emergency vehicle, being dazzled is a bloody nuisance and I think people should be legal entitled to shoot out these headlights. Brake lights are the same too I hate it when you stop at traffic lights and your stuck behind some who doesn't use their hand brake. grrrrrr

I feel that one. I was stuck behind a berk-in-a-merc not long back. For reasons only known to the designers at Mercedes-Benz, they decided that a 3rd brake light of ultra-bright LEDs at approximately the same level as the driver's head behind said vehicle and the full width of the bootlid (so about 3 1/2 ft) was a good idea.

Same thing has happened to me on the M1 and Dronfield bypass, it's dangerously distracting and strangely hypnotic...
