2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Santorini Black

Most newer cars have LED's these days, older ones with halogens will likely to be old enough to have been adjusted by now.

It may also be with LED's they're affected more by dirt on the lens. This is why HID's have washers as standard, because dirt on the lens affects the aim more than is does with crystal halogens.

Another problem is you might actually be being dazzled by day running lights rather than LED headlights, which are brighter so they can be seen in sunlight. Trouble is a lot of muppets just forget to switch the headlamps on and drive around with DRL's in the dark, which just dazzle you - in most cases the DRL's don't illuminate the tail lights either.

I don't really see a problem with auto dipping lights. More and more things have become automated on cars over the years. Automatic advance and retard was probably the first thing. I would guess all but the base spec in each car model now comes with automatic headlamps and wipers.
