It isn't the brighness, it is the aim. There is a limit on the wattage. A halogen is a brighter whiter light than a regular headlamp, a xenon/halogen is brighter and whiter yet, but the wattage is the same to keep it street legal. If the aim is proper, and the bulb is the correct one for the housing, it is no harder on the eyes on low beam. If it looks like high beam, then, either it is really on high beam, or the headlamp is aimed wrong and the car needs to go into the shop.

Not all States allow the brighter bulbs. Check the box/container on these bulbs and it will tell the States they are legal in. I had a mechanic at Sears tell me to keep the box in the glove compartment in case I got stopped for too bright bulbs. Proper alignment is also very important.

It is optional safety device in the USA and standard in Canada.
