Yeah, it's not. No one levels those properly and projectors should be used with LEDs, not reflectors. Also, tye temperature of the light (blue light is harsh and males it harder to see without high beams), the little LED strip lights that replaced headlights on a bunch of models now don't help either.
Even if the lights are leveled correctly, part of the problem is how directional LEDs are. On a flat surface you're fine. If you're cresting a hill so your vehicle is level and there's someone coming up the hill towards you, your headlights are shining directly in their eyes. As soon as you start descending the hill your headlights are now pointing in the right direction relative to oncoming traffic again. Adjust the headlights down and you just change the angle that this happens at. Adjust the headlights down so it only happens on particularly steep hills, and your headlights are basically useless because they're not illuminating enough of the road in front of you.
Shouldn't all headlights be okay as long as your headlight angle is calibrated right? That's like the first thing they teach in driving school

Lul the what? Strip lights for low beam? Not just for daytime running lights (drl)? That sounds ... terrible.

There was a recall on, I think, Chevy headlights. The LEDs were too bright, unfortunately recalls are at the will of the owner.
