I've tried being followed on the German Autobahn by an Audi TT with xenon headlamps. I wondered why the idiot kept on flashing at me and I soon got pissed off and turned on my rear fog lights - but he just kept on flashing like a lunatic.
Well, it was before I got the Aero so he soon passed me ... and then I realised what had been going on: The uneven road surface and his stiff suspension had caused the TT to bounce up and down much faster than the self-levelling mechanism could keep up with, thus creating a kind of stroboscope effect. Now I thought this was pretty annoying; so imagine driving in the opposite direction having to look into those disco strobes ... especially for a middle-aged person with reduced night vision ...
Sorry, I still think using xenon headlamps is like standing up in the cinema in order to see better!
Regards,
Caspar
