Why do cars nowadays have such ridiculously bright headlights?

I’d say a big part of it is also people not cleaning the inside of ther windshields regularly. All that fogginess that slowly builds up makes every light have a much brighter apparent halo. Break out the windex once every month or two, it’ll make a world of difference for night driving.
