The existing laws are insufficient. Most headlight regulations specify an angle of light emitted, not an absolute height. > none of the high intensity portion of the light shall, at a distance of 25 feet ahead of the vehicle, project higher than five inches below the level of the center of the lamp from which it comes, or higher than 42 inches above the level on which the vehicle stands at a distance of 75 feet ahead of the vehicle. The 75 foot regulation is the only one that gives an absolute height, and is irrelevant for a car directly behind me at a red light. Five inches below the center of the lamp at 25 feet means that a high truck will illuminate the entirety of my rear-view mirror, because those trucks are more than 5 inches taller than my car.
