The blue-white light is way, way too bright, too harsh, and too blue for our roads. Not only are the lights too blue and too bright, but they also point too high. We now have lifted pickup trucks, long-haul semis, and jeeps that are blasting this sharp blue-white light directly into the mirrors of sedans. Lower-to-the-ground vehicles, such as Teslas, Audis, and BMWs have their lights pointed too high as well. When this is combined with the intensity, color, and sharpness of the light, it makes driving on the road at night unmanageable. \n\nI am one of over 80,000 victims who have submitted a petition to change our laws surrounding blue-white LED lights on our roadways. There are many, many more who are victims as well. The rise of use of these lights has changed my life, keeping me from using the roads after sunset. I would like to use America's roads at night once again.\n\nThank you for your time.\n\nJonPaul","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6823","tags":["public-comment"],"source_hash":"6e92cf689ace44c9f80c7d889e7bc3fe1b48dc13a5ed2a5719c927c6e073c136","slug":"public-comment-comment-6823","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6823","body_sha256":"0551b93509d1e443997faf0cd5586356340e434c274a76c437b8ecd3655d0b91","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"headlights","topics":[{"id":"headlights","evidence":"The blue-white light is way, way too bright, too harsh, and too blue for our roads."},{"id":"access","evidence":"keeping me from using the roads after sunset."},{"id":"standards","evidence":"a petition to change our laws surrounding blue-white LED lights"}],"summary":"Reports inability to drive after sunset because of bright, blue-white and poorly aimed vehicle lighting, and supports changes to lighting laws.","reviewed_at":"2026-10-28T23:54:32Z","review_method":"Full comment-text review with exact source evidence; attachments not reviewed","review_source_sha256":"450f931b6b9ff7f18ba516927376749b4a79955a300542c7016449467d95909a","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["headlights","access","standards"],"primary_topic":"headlights","forum_title":"Reports inability to drive after sunset because of bright, blue-white and poorly aimed vehicle lighting, …"}
