Sorry Sven, but unless you have some other type of lamp on your side of the pond, that's nonsense, in my humble opinion.

Sorry CH, I should have said regular headlights, not DRLs. [Linked Image]

In the past few years we've gotten a new type of headlight on cars here. It's something that throws off a VERY BRIGHT, intense ice-blue light. It's usually part of the package on luxury cars (like Lexus).

When you're used to the old cars with the square and round sealbeams and the halogens, you look at these things and it's like these folks have the high-beams on all the time.

Those, if they catch you in the rear view mirror do run the chance of blinding you. I don't know who's bright idea these lights were.

What's worse is that most of these lights are found on the high-end sector of the massive 4x4 utility trucks (Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, etc.). These things have a very high wheel base, so it's like you get the light shining right through your rear window and into the mirror.
