Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
What will future trucks look like? First grandma's headlights, now our truck's headlights. Read 'em and weep... The SAE suggests even droopier headlights than the NHTSA. All this sounds a little familiar.

Headlamp Glare Becomes Growing Concern
March 29, 2002
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is receiving more complaints from drivers relating to headlamp glare. The problem is being linked to growing numbers of SUVs and light trucks with relatively high-mounted headlamps. Reportedly, NHTSA has received more than 1,700 letters in five months.
Automakers and vehicle-safety experts have already suggested that lawmakers should lower the mounting height of headlights from the current maximum of 54 inches off the ground -- a limit that has been in place since 1968.
The report adds that the Alliance of Automotive Manufacturers has recommended lowering it to 47 inches, while the SAE has suggested bringing it down even farther, to approximately 39 inches.
