This can only be good news in my expectation, even if it is the Trump administration in charge.

I do assume that as well. Technically no, but I believe they are typically self leveling, plus are tighter beams

Some of the reasons for excessive glare include

  • incorrectly aimed headlights
  • older style reflectors that let a lot of light spread
  • leaving high beams on
  • using LED replacement bulbs that aren’t legally replacements

Adaptive high beams fix 3.5/4 of these. I do not think it helps with incorrectly aimed headlights from lifted trucks though

I have definitely noticed cars with extremely bright headlights that are also more tightly focussed. No glare
