Are car LED lights too bright?

Am I right with this or overreacting? 

I went to the shop just now to get Xmas cards as I ran out and every time a car went by it was dazzling. The LEDs on cars seem a little too bright to me. My Grandads got an older car and his lights are more yellow, bright enough but not in an overwhelming way. But just now every car that went by their lights were too bright, it kept dazzling me and I had to keep squinting and looking away.

Even the brake lights seem to be too bright, just so dazzling.

It made walking very uncomfortable and has left me with a throbbing head.

  • Yes, even in daylight they hurt my eyes. Why the UK does not follow France in using only yellow/amber headlights I have never understood. With these ultra-white light LEDs in use now and with so many planet-killing, enormous, four-wheel drives (that never leave tarmac) around with their higher-placed headlights, it is positively dangerous.
