Aren't there any checks for that? In EU most DMV equivalents check headlights yearly to catch illegal illumination envelopes (along with other safety-related aspects, brakes and whatnot).

I'd go as far as to say that the height is the issue, and it's becoming global (although, yes, US is the leader). It's ridiculous that an average SUV has headlights higher than an average semi (my own experience) given the
