DIY headlight bulb replacement should be banned. You ought to have to take
your car to approved garages where there is someone trained and certified to
change the wretched things correctly * *:-(

The problem is not the replacing of bulbs.
It is the soft suspension of modern cars neccesitating headlight
adjusters that work from the dashboard which some people don't bother
with.

Or rather they get adjusted *full up* and never put back.

SiL complains of poor night vision and usually sets his dipped beam to
high.

Night light dazzle can be an age/eyesight problem.

Concur on the dark evenings equals faulty lights syndrome. Does this
mean number plate recognition systems only work in daylight? Otherwise
it would seem a low cost fix: automated letter through post followed by
a penalty ticket if not put right.
