Aftermarket replacement headlights/bulbs are an epidemic here. If we want them off the roadways the only realistic solution is to ban them outright and fine the local vendors for selling them (JB's power centre). It is unrealistic to expect law enforcement, whom are outnumbered, to pursue every blue eyed idiot.
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with high lumen, aftermarket road lamps and work lamps. For some of us there is a legitimate need for long distance lights and wide angle lights. At least aftermarket road lamps require a relay switch system, and can be turned off. When an aftermarket headlamp or bulb replaces the stock headlamp or bulb, the user is unable to dim the ridiculously bright low beam most of these kits have. The only motorists forced to view my road lamps are those that force me to view theirs.
While truckers are typically better mannered with lights, we have our share of blue eyed idiots too. I run highway, at night and It's to the point I need a welders face shield to protect my eye sight. It's a good thing Alberta is a landlocked province, the light from our commuters could set a porting ship off course.
