I was coming off one of the stop signs ( and yes I mostly stop) so accelerateing at that point and I couldn't see the pedestrian until we narrowly missed them. Although the miss was a close call it still was a miss and all were safely along their way. Just mentioning a set of events where I feel the super bright lights are more a hazard then a benefit and are unnecessary. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If I were to venture a guess, the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing at night . We see this so often.
