I am happy to see IIHS take this issue on. There are two issues here. One is that halogen is outdated technology and should be stripped from every manufactures line up. The other is that NHTSA doesn't allow manufactures like BMW who have great LED and Laser headlight technology to run them at their full European spec. If you know anyone who has an M3/4 with LED lights that got them coded to operate at Euro spec they can tell you the night and day difference between the two settings, that difference is while in low beam mode where the vast majority of driving is.
Lets hope that IIHS will ride NHTSA to force them to update their standards to match modern day expectations.
