The problem

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Headlights that are excessively bright can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
