There are also people who get aftermarket lights for their cars but don't adjust the aim correctly so it has the same effect as brights on 24/7 when from the driver's seat they think it is just normal headlights. This is exponentially more likely in cars that have been modded with fancy rims, a spoiler, soda can muffler or anything associated with drifting.

That's a super small minority that has been shrinking since the 00s. Most headlights aren't aimed high because they're adjusted as part of the yearly inspection.

HIDs and LEDs in reflector housings are still pretty common as far as I can tell. I get blinded by old Civics with clearly-aftermarket bulbs pretty regularly.
