You're in a rural state where headlight performance is a crucial safety concern for all drivers.

I lived for twenty years in rural NH and it was the same: poor lighting = poor safety. Hitting a deer or, even worse, a moose, would be a very bad day behind the wheel. Moose, especially, tended to badly injure or kill the drivers who had hit them. Deer were no walk in the park, either.

I've also lived for extended periods in major urban areas where headlight performance was relatively inconsequential. We live in a large country where exterior lighting requirements vary dramatically.
