That is seriously annoying. Not only do they flicker, they are slightly blue as well. I have mistaken an Audi for an emergency vehicle in my rear view mirror on multiple occasions. I am sure that this is their plan. Such lights should be outlawed.

I've found the colour to be too close to emergency-vehicle blue as well, particularly if the car behind hits a bump and momentarily brings their headlights into my mirrors, it's almost exactly like the flash of emergency lights. I shouldn't have to be second-guessing whether there's an emergency vehicle behind me, I should be following my first instinct which is to ensure I'm not obstructing traffic. Not clearing out of the way for an Audi pulling a tonne to rocket past me.

Now I have found that some mirrors on cars and even motorcycles can distort the reflected light to give blue points. combine with polarizing glasses and it becomes even more difficult to find the exact cause.

now if viewing straight on without another element to distort the light, like polarized lenses; I would be interested if the reflector built into the headlamp assembly can cause an issue.
