A method for reporting dazzling caused by a headlight system of a dazzling oncoming vehicle by means of a message produced by the dazzled vehicle that dazzling has been detected, wherein the message contains information relating to a position of the dazzled vehicle at the time of the detected dazzling. The method, also can proceed from the message, for determining an incorrect position of the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle by a comparison between a first intersection point between the trajectory of the oncoming dazzled vehicle and a light field produced by the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle, and a second intersection point between the trajectory of the oncoming dazzled vehicle and a model, stored in the vehicle system, of the light field generated by the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle.
