I think Ralph Nader attacked GM on these because of the glare.... He got on a roll with the Corvair and just wouldn't quit. I think he proved some crashes were the result of drivers of other cars getting blinded by the BLING.
I remember that, but I cannot see how anyone can be blinded by these, esp since they are rounded...not much of a 'beam' to blind you...(Poor Nader..he was really stretching...too bad people listened to him).....IF the sun hits these ,it would only be for a mini second....what bothers me normally is now that they dont inspect the lights anymore , you get lots of people driving around with low beams like they are high beams...and fog lights (to look cool) ...and when you get a huge SUV behind you at night you cant see Chit!...or the new 'blue' lights that seem to blind you more...
