Yeah, what I'm saying is that there are rules about how much you are allowed to blind everyone else and car designers are specifically circumventing them.

It would also be nice if they were a more pleasant colour.

The reason why car designers do this is because it sells more cars. People feel safer in a huge SUV / "truck" when though they aren't. People also feel safer when they can light everything up even though they aren't.
