It should be solved but it doesnât hit the radar in politics, at least not here in Canada. They are objectively better lights, the problem is that standards donât exist and non-highbeams are blindingly bright. It especially sucks if youâre not in a truck or SUV.

Not just headlights.
When they design new roads they now use a bigger spacing between streetlights, because LEDs have wider optics. That still doesnât guarantee they will install lights with wider optics. Some moron installs lights with optics that are meant to be used as an alternative light source in the old system with narrower spacing.
End result is a light level that constantly flickers between pitch black and celestial might when you drive on it.
