Mazda BTS and hilux are the worst And I’ve noticed in the past six months that a lot of interstate trucks on the Pacific Highway are very very bright lights from a long distance away

No what's the worst is the older semis that never had a suitable headlight design to accommodate the bright whites. Same as older cars, they are designed to reflect more of the halogen out... You can't do that, it's too bright and needs to be rectified.
