head lights that don't blind oncoming traffic.....

I ride at night (a lot). I am on rural roads... so there is a lack of street lamps. and Often there is a lack of moonlight.
I've read 100 post on brightness, use a flashlight etc.

My main concern is Light are lights and headlights are headlights. Meaning that lights just light things up, and headlights are for the purpose of lighting things up without blinding oncoming traffic.
Except most headlights for bikes on the market....(IMO) are nothing more than flashlights in a fancy molded housing.
So is there an inexpensive way to make a flashlight work for a headlamp as to not blind on coming traffic?
Or are there descent bike lamps on the market with this design in mind for a decent price?
