The performance of headlights should have been standardized years ago.
They should be of uniform brightness and height.
They currently vary from excellent to barely adequate.
Honda and Toyota among others should be reasonable for cleaning and clearing the fogged over plastic covers that dim their output.
They are treated like accessories and toys rather than one of the most important safety components.
When I was a teenager, I thought it was cool and smart to blast the guy coming at me with his brights on by doing the same.
Later I figured that at least he could see where he was going and. blinded, would be most likely to hit me.
Eyes will naturally look at the lights; looking down to the right will avoid dazzle and preserve night vision.
