Please add my name to the list of drivers that are adamantly opposed to the new blue/purple headlights many of the new luxury cars are featuring. The light is piercing and a danger to night time traffic. These new lights are even distracting during daylight. I believe that cars equipped with these blue/purple headlights should be recalled and the headlights replaced. They are a definite hazard to other vehicles. *nlm
