U.S. to overhaul car headlight rules to reflect new anti-glare technology
The U.S. government is starting a full overhaul of vehicle headlight rules to align them with the 2026 environment. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration plans to begin a consultative rulemaking process to rewrite FMVSS 108, the federal lighting standard. The agency aims to address long-criticised delays that have limited adoption of newer safety lighting technologies. It also plans to incorporate technologies such as LED systems, sensors and automatic high beams, while strengthening standards to reduce glare for other drivers.
