To make matters worse, some of these lights are tinted blue, which creates even more scattering and glare than a normal headlamp.
Funny you should talk about glare....those DOT lamps are such total shit....the other day I was sitting in traffic and compred the beam pattern from my 124 Euro lights to the latest POS Merikan car next to me......I have this nice cutoff in the beam pattern and the USDOT lamp is a big smear all over tha back of the vehicle in front. I think that THIS beam pattern, as well as a lack of proper aiming, is the reason for the "dazzle" . My step father can no longer drive at night because there's so much glare from other people's headlights, that he can't see anything. He's 74. It's not just the riced out boy racers. Everyone has their stupid fog/driving amps on 24/7 and they STILL can't see what they're doing. I know that I don't have any glare problems when I'm driving at night in the UK. I still wonder why the USDOT wants us all to be blind at night! I think they've based their syandard on some 50 year old nonsense......AGAIN! Jeff Zedic Toronto
