EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS

	Very hard to see at night when these headlights of xenon are coming toward you, they are very bright and distract for the vision.

	New head lamp design, xenon high intensity is too bright, makes it very difficult to see at night when someone with this type of light is driving behind you.
