Interesting read, Shiny.
A lot of automotive regulations and laws and even our own perceptions are outdated IMO. Colour temperature for example, new HID and LED lights far exceed the legal limit for halogens. And yet cooler blue-ish halogens headlights aren't allowed. Whether the source is a bulb or a diode should be irrelevant. If it's a dazzling issue, it can be fixed with proper reflectors and glass.
