I mentioned this in another thread, but why can't we regulate headlight height? Why do SUVs and pickups trucks have to have headlights that are higher than buses and real trucks?

You could- That’s the case in Europe. But ‘Murica = Freedom so no interest to regulate.

Headlights are regulated between 24 and 54 inches in Texas.

54 inches is taller than the peak of the roof on a lot of small cars, to say nothing of the trunk lid.
