| Description of the problem | Hid headlights should be banned from the roads. There is no way the benefits of allowing one car to supposedly see better at night outweigh the risks to every oncoming car they encounter. These lights should at least be outlawed and ideally, manufacturers should be forced to recall vehicles and reimburse the consumer for the costs of the lights. *jb |
