| Description of the problem | More and more cars are appearing on the road with "discharge" blue headlamps. I'm 67 and find driving at night much more difficult when blue headlamps are coming toward me. Other elderly people tell me that these headlamps on other cars are much more dazzeling. I hate to think what night driving will be like when the majority of cars have the super-bright "discharge" lamps. Has and study been done to determine what limits should be placed on the "dazzle power" of headlamps. Thanks.*ak |
