My personal favorite is the a-holes who incorrectly install retrofit led headlights onto their vehicles.
If y'all didn't know, not only does the "bright" filament in a bulb produce more light, it's also placed in a different area in the reflector housing, so that it's light is cast in a broader and higher pattern. Your "dim" filament is in a separate location so that the light produced is reflected more level to the height of the headlight, so as not to blind oncoming traffic. Move the location of where the light is created, and the reflector is no longer casting light in the correct spots.
I've installed plenty of led retrofit bulbs. They're a great upgrade and are brighter then the halogen and incandescent counterparts. But each bulb I've installed needs slightly adjusted to some extent to get it right. If you're too lazy or incompetent to do this, then either have someone else do it, or leave your lights alone.
It's great when better headlights allow you to see better. What isn't great, is if those better lights blind oncoming traffic. It's actually against the law and you can be held liable for it https://www.brookslawgroup.com/blog...ult-for-an-accident-you-were-not-involved-in/

Just never gone there route wise because it's a lot of nothing too. It even has a highway running through it known as the loneliest highway.
