The more I think on this, the more I wonder if it’s truly unpopular “here,” but it certainly is in public.

Headlights should be no more than 2 feet off the ground. Yes, your SUV will look dumb. No, you won’t be able to see as far. But you also won’t be blinding everyone.

And no, adjusting angles does not solve this for monster trucks in the US.

    Cars come from the factory with blinding lights. Yes modified lights are also a problem. There aren’t enough regulations for either OEM nor modified headlights.

    If a car’s headlights are mounted higher than the mirrors of another car, no amount of aiming can stop them from being blinding.

    If anything they should bring back sealed beam laws. Auto companies have proven they’re unable to make headlights correctly.
