IN GENERAL, HEADLIGHTS ARE AIMED TOO HIGH. I AIM MINE LOWER TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY BUT NOT THE TREES. THE STANDARD FOR HEADLIGHT AIM NEEDS TO BE REVISED TO LOWER SUBSTANTIALLY. IN ADDITION, THE ADVENT OF FOG LAMPS IS A DISSAPPOINTMENT. FIRST, THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. THEY BROADCAST LIGHT, RATHER THAN AIM IT IN A NARROW BEAM ALONG THE ROADWAY JUST OFF PAVEMENT HEIGHT. THEY DIRECT LIGHT UP INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT JUST IN FRONT OF THE GRILL, PLACING ADDITIONAL GLARE IN THE DRIVERS VIEW. SOME OF THESE "FOG LAMPS" ARE ALSO FAR TOO BRIGHT, PRODUCING MORE GLARE FOR ON-COMING DRIVERS THAN THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THE WORST OFFENDERS ARE DAIMLER-CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND MID-SIZED SEDANS, PLUS
