Purple Headlights

I saw this on a crappy older car in Dartmouth, NS. I had to look twice because the beam color was PURPLE! Anyone see these?

Just one, mostly you see the green/blue type. Both illegal, and possibly dangerous. It attacts  :popo:

Have seen several cars and trucks with dark headlight covers. Notwithstanding the suppliers say they're strictly for show, competition and off-road use people drive at night with them. They reduce headlight output at least 50-percent.

Had some insane guy driving in the opposite direction with what must have been 20K+ lamps. Insanely irritating to the point that I don't even remember the make of his (assuming his...) car. Brain just went numb. It takes active concentration to avoid them.

This :censor: deserves a vehicle seizure.
