The trouble isn't obnoxious headlights, it's obnoxious people. 
Properly installed, Hallogen headlights offer much better visibility
and no extra discomfort for oncoming traffic.  As has already been
noted, nobody seems to adjust their lights properly.  (In fact
adjustment seems to be virtually impossible on many cars).  What's
worse, though, is the number of people who mount auxiliary hallogen
fog lights or head lights dangling from their bumpers, where they
are so low it is impossible to adjust them properly, and they bounce
and wiggle with every bump.  Actually, though, if I were to campaign
for elimination of one hazard in this area it would be to lower the
lights on trucks and 4WD vehicles.  I get very tired of getting
blinded every time one pulls up behind me.
