front indicators in the same housing as the headlights and so very
hard to see at night on an oncoming car.

spot on the worse ones are the indicator in the middle of the circular
parking light.....but loads of front indicators are away from the
headlights though..... also LEDs shouldn't be allowed on cars.....

DRLs should also be banned...stupid dazzling things....

If you find them dazzling, do you by any chance have a problem with your eyes?

I have been very happy to see them on all manner of vehicles in situations where sight of the vehicle might othrwise have been impaired. Do remember that they can make a big difference when going from bright sun to stygian blackness of a bridge. And, when cycling, I have found it much more difficult to see and maintain awareness of vehicles behind me when they are grey (current top colour), and the weather is grey, and the road is grey... DRLs help a lot.
