I am reporting a safety issue that is not associated with my vehicle, rather it is in regards to many vehicles on the road with LED headlamps. These lights are blinding and most definitely a safety concern. Why are car manufacturers allowed to install these type of lights?

There is a known problem with ram headlights developing condensation within the headlight assembly. This is a problem as too much condensation can cause shorts and/or permanent damage to electronics. With standard halogen bulbs, the worst case is to replace the bulb and try to remove moisture and prevent future condensation build up.
