It's funny you should mention the new brighter lights. 
Back in the stone age (60's) my rally car had several
Cibie quartz-iodine lights and once each year I had
to pull them all off the car (including headlamps) 
because New Jersey inspection permitted only the dim
yellow sealed beams.

I never complained about the labor though because my 
philosophical reasoning went thusly...

If everybody had extremely bright lights they would 
still drive around with the high-beams on all the time
and their fog lights mis-aimed. No sense of civic duty.
So I was content to be virtually the only driver with 
bright lights at the cost of the annual dismantling.

Boy, was I ever right!  I'm a regular Nostrildamus.
Well, Pandora's box is opened now and we'll never get 
those foglights and green headlights back in the box.
