Are there any regulations on these new brilliant blue car headlights?

What's the big deal, or improvement over regular light spectrum
headlights?

So idiots that used to drive faster than they could stop within the
distance they could see at night have a longer distance to stop when they
see something in the headlights. Unfortunately, they just drive faster and
into the same situation, albeit with a higher damage amount when something
goes wrong.



They are about as obnoxious as people who drive with their four
headlights
on, the mains on low, and the fog lights on, with 75 mile visibility.
Those
are as bright as high beams on most cars, and totally unnecessary. I
have
turned mine on about ten times since I bought my Dodge 2500 Ram new in
'06.
What is the need for all that light other than "OOOOO LOOK AT ME!"?

Several states are toying with the idea of 80 and 85 mph Interstate speed
limits. I have no problem with those, as I shall continue to leave mine on
cruise, and stay in the right lane, jumping up to 85 occasionally to jump
past an alligator throwing semi truck.

But, yes, it shall let drivers drive to the absolute limit of their
headlights, or even farther, and also be sharing the road with a blinded
driver. I imagine this is going to take a few test cases, and incidents and
accidents before it is cleared up.

Does anyone know if these are factory or after market?
