Not trying to comment on whether they should or shouldn't be legal or illegal, but what actually is the law on headlights?

Whether it's LEDs, or the "white light" look mentioned, aftermarket or even factory on some vehicles (Dodge and Jeep I notice now have a brighter "normal" bulb).

Is there an actual amount of brightness/blindingness that is the maximum and something over that gets you ticketed? Or is it also like the way getting tinted windows in most States or Provinces gets enforced and that there is an actual law saying what is too much, but rarely gets enforced unless there was some other reason you got yourself pulled over?

Just curious as I've not only gotten flashed more than I used to since getting a newer DD, but I also see so many cars coming from the opposite direction and assume they have they brights on too. So either my own eyes are getting worse or more sensitive to this change or the lights people have in their cars are indeed changing.
