I'm under the impression that hid lights need a headlight wash system. The ioniq hasn't got them so I guess that has either bi xenon or led. Not too sure.

I hate LEDs they're a bloody nightmare. How some of these are legal I dunno. We have regs over bloody everything these days but blinding headlights are ok??

TBH LEDs seem ok it is VWs and Audi's that seem to have headlights the brightness of a nuclear blast that are directed not at the road but at eye level.

I find it's DRLs that are terrible for blinding you rather than headlights.

Theres a red c1 driven by an old boy not far from here. See it frequently and at night time it can be a fucking nightmare. the car has led drls on the front,being a modern car I assume the dashboard is illuminated all the time too. Come night time he drives round with no headlights,just the drls. Hes got no tail lights on but a case of because he can sort of see where hes going and dash lights are on he thinks hes fine. My ioniq headlights are bright but I must say they don't seem as dazzling as some vag or ford led headlamps.
