The bigger issue is not just how bright the headlights are, but how high off the ground they are. On a small sedan, it makes sense that the headlights are just below the level of the hood, any lower and they would be scraping the ground. If you take the same hood-to-headlight arrangement and put it on a pickup truck or SUV on giant wheels and then lifted, those headlights are no longer pointed at the ground but are now pointed into the cabins of sedans and the faces of shorter pedestrians.
Good. SUVs are unnecessary anywhere in the M25 (and the whole of the UK but especially cities). Our roads, parking spaces and car parks haven’t magically got bigger. Our school children haven’t magically got twice as tall at each. Car drivers haven’t magically stopped killing people. You measure your living room to buy an appropriately sized sofa, get a fucking car size that makes sense.
But how are you going to get through a flooded street otherwise? You need a range rover, the spirit of JLR requires more souls (and door sills) for sustenance

They should face charges for using headlights brighter than the space shuttle
The only good part of the whole split headlight trend is it forced the high/low beams further down, but they’re still obnoxious
I’m not sure the space shuttle was known for having bright headlights.

Great news. SUVs are a cancer.
