Default brighter lights during thunderstorms

So a few of you probably noticed a nice thunderstorm this arvo.

I went for a drive and i couldnt help but notice that EVERY car had super bright white lights, even old beaters that really should have had yellow lights.

even their brake lights and indicators seemed very intense, and it wasnt even dark at this point.

am i crazy or is this some phenominon with the electrical charge in the air?

i woulda assumed it would have something to do with everything being a bit duller due to it being overcast. ie better contrast to lights

i didnt say it was going dark, but on an overcast day, you can notice things dont seem to be as bright or shiny.
when i said dull, i meant as in opposite to shiny
meh i dont know, just an idea

I noticed this too - every car looked like it had HIDs!

I saw Lewis in Subi - he has HIDs and his looked an insane intense blue colour!

very odd.
