It's not just retrofits. There are a headlights are much brighter stock than they were 10 years ago, and even where they're correctly aligned, they're assuming a perfectly flat road.

Unfortunately, perfectly flat roads are like spherical cows, so everyone is getting blinded by these newer, brighter headlights.

And now that active control is in play they're going to get even brighter and more blinding. YAY!

I constantly get flashed in my Kia Telluride. My headlights are stock and aligned (had them checked (supposedly)). If I'm cresting a hill it's way worse and I can expect at least one person to flash me.
Maybe you can get something similar to window tint to put over your headlights to bring them back into socially acceptable norms.
