Unfortunately I can't compare between 2 modern cars equipped with similar lights save for the color temperature. I haven't seen modern LED headlights with warm color, so when I think of warm color headlights my brain immediately goes to my experience with cars as old as the mid '70s, with filament bulbs. This evokes memories of almost blindly searching for the road right in front of me, compared to today's "I can see 200m ahead".

So by this measure, not having to squint to see anything ahead, my (aging) eyes feel much more rested and reassured today than decades ago.

Are there new cars with warm LED lights?

I'm comparing more to 2010s cars :)

I think it's a pretty good balance between visibility and comfort. But I can definitely see your point.

I don't know actually, but I've definitely not seen any on the road. I wonder why, as far as I know it's not a technical issue.
