One of my pet dislikes, particularly in recent years is bright white headlight glare. Admittedly, most of my driving is suburban and main highways with overhead lighting so I do not have a need for more powerful headlights unlike if I was more driving on secondary roads at night. On my previous vehicles, I have replaced the expired standard halogen bulbs with more efficient halogen bulbs and my headlights are correctly focused down onto the road.

In response, I do use night vision sunglasses, as required to dramatically reduce the glare from oncoming vehicles. Recently, I noticed an oncoming vehicle where the passenger side headlight appeared to be twice as bright as the driver's side and appeared to have a very unfocussed, dispersed pattern.

I happened to notice this overseas article and wondered if this may be a future indicator or rationale for increased policing relating to headlight glare. If so, the owners of those vehicles with illegal modifications/upgrades to HID and LED headlights may have to reconsider the options and consequences.
