In places where you need to have emissions checked they should simultaneously check headlight alignment and brightness and enforce standards for these.
We do in Germany, every two years. It’s not helping and I don’t know why. Maybe people are aligning their headlights correctly just for the test. Or the test is garbage. Next time my car is due, I’ll ask the guy.
There is a huge difference though when it comes to the intensity of headlights in the US vs Germany. Some cars in the US will light up the inside of your own car simply by driving behind you.

TIL not all developed nations do this
I prefer the much more fun “break LED headlights with a hammer” but your solution is less likely to land me in jail I guess.
