    How has this not been properly regulated in over 100 years?!?!? WHY! WHY! WHY!

    …well actually I know partially why there’s been a recent uptick, because China sells LED lights that are harder to get right when installing and are less directional, because rather than using lenses the brightness or rise of the light is defined by which LEDs get powered, so lots of people are wiring them incorrect just getting them to work on a basic on/off level then moving on… Meaning drivers may set the headlights correctly but due to wiring they’re actually on the highbeam setting. Welcome to the digital age.
