Most of my commute is on a dedicated bike lane next to a two-lane road. When it's really dark, the headlights from oncoming traffic wash out my headlight and I can't see anything until they pass. There are very few street lights to mitigate this problem.

Any suggestions?
My morning commute is dark, and I tend to use the headlight wash to check for obstacles ahead. Admittedly, it's from cars going my direction. Good luck finding a solution.
