bright light, bright light!

The new HID headlights on cars are so bright and badly designed IMO that they are set to dazzle even when dipped.

I do dip my lights when on unlit roads if I see a cyclist approaching. Don't always get to see them soon enough though unless they also have bright lights.

I had a Ninja cyclist, many many years ago, shout 'Dip your lights!' at me. I was going slow enough to shout back 'Get some lights!'. He was completely invisible in the shadows on the opposite side of the road and unlit.

Should have turned them off completely

If you want the traffic to dip their lights then get proper lights yourself

On the sorts of roads where they'd be using full beam car drivers cannot be expected to see a small visiblity light at a distance

If you have proper lights then you will be treated as a proper vehicle

Exactly, many times I haven't seen a cyclist till a few hundred metres away because their lights are not at all bright.
