I don’t look at the ones that are aimed poorly, there is a technique of just using your periphial vision.

I remember the EXACT arguments back in around the early 1980’s when Halogens came out in the US, of course they were in use much longer in Europe.

The country was enraged about these “KIller Headlights” back then. And many people were literally being ticketed because they were using Halogens or headlight conversion kits like the Cibie that used an H4 halogen lamp, I know because I was one of them.

As your cataracts develop that peripheral vision trick begins to be less and less available.

What needs to be recognized here is that the night lights should be restricted to the range of brightness, frequency, and coverage that is satisfactory for the visual range for which people are legally able to drive.

At the moment you can drive just about anywhere with 20/50 vision. Oncoming Xenon lights probably aren't compatible with that standard, nor even with 20/40, and quite possibly 20/30.
