F**k that, honestly.
I hate that stuff. If I'm driving and someone has crazy high beams from hell I have to either get a mile ahead of them or slow down so they pass... I can't see anything in my rear otherwise.

I've never seen a magicshine so I don't know if they're that bright. But if it's at the point where people going the other way are blinded and running over mailboxes (and possibly pedestrians) then that is not cool.

Great attitude. That's the sort of attitude motorists from hell have: If you don't like my honking, then stop riding a bike and get the **** off the road.
