Ken, the E-code lights *don't* blind oncoming traffic -- they have a very
sharp cutoff which keeps the light below oncoming drivers' eyes.   The
pattern does rise to the right (to show road signs) so that when you pass
someone there are a few moments when your lights look bright in their
mirrors.  But in fifteen years of using these lights I've only had two
people complain.
