I have seen even worse things, like people installing blue
tinted headlights in order to mimic the "blueish" hue of
the xenon lamps (even though that is not a blueish hue but
a whiteish hue that seem blueish due to the contrast of
night light conditions). They do not seem to realize that
blue is the most easily absorved wavelenght at night, and
the conditions get even worse at rain!

I believe some countries like France used to have
mandatory yellow lights for the low beam in the
headlights. So basically you always drive with your fog
lights. A lot of EU contries also mandate that night over
head lighting on roads to be yellow.
