There was mention below about eyesight and the relation to the "new" vehicular headlamps.

One upon a time headlights had to have sae or dot imprinted on them the were sealed beam and easily viewed it was embossed in the glass.

back then cars and truck would adhere to the requirements to aiming and such. If out of alignment and shining into oncoming traffic the local constable or state cop might write them up.

Back in those days they had gas stations and repair shops alike the had a sign to certify themselves as able to aim and write off headlight tickets.

Nowadays, although there is a basic adherence in new cars to send the brightest portion of the light from the lamps in a specific pattern a cut-off pattern if you will allowing the right hand roadside more and higher light than oncoming traffic, new improvements and acceptance to massively brighter lamps and the allowance to what seems extreme tolerance to the hazards of blinding oncoming traffic in favor of the emitters favor.

Crazy is.

It is so easy to buy and install any and all types of LED replacement bulbs that disgrace the allowed patterns and it seems the status quo is brightest lights wins.

I have 2009 chevy it uses some variant of h4 and have tried a couple few sets of led replacement inserts, but they blind oncoming traffic and I get highbeamed. That is even after taking time to draw out my cutoff patterns on a wall and copy that with the new bulbs.

I use sylvania silver star krypton?s they offer the best bright light and still stay pretty pure to the design and allowable aim.

I even hate a lot of cars and truck at daytime so bright I have to dim my mirror as the ride up behind.

Vermont has rust inspections. They just last year included check engine light inspection. Talk about a fiasco mandating repairs that no one in the state can understand or perform. (just call it artisan and not incompetence)
there is no way in hay that they will include headlamp aim and brightness standards

blaze on
brightest lights wins.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
