Hi folks,
I don’t post stories I have myself written very often, but headlight glare is a recurring topic here in the CTC. Over the past seven years, I’ve been following the IIHS headlight testing and rating topic closely. For 2021, the group’s hard work is finally paying off. Automakers are discontinuing headlights that create excessive glare.
You can learn more in the story itself if interested. The quick summary is that IIHS won’t tag a model with the Top Safety Pick Plus award anymore if ANY trim the model can come with will have headlights with excessive glare. So automakers are dropping the headlights on the trims that had the glare and just using the proper ones. There is a long list of models as examples. Including a popular Volvo.
