Yes, US DOT headlights are pitiful. When we say "candlepower", it is the light 
of a single candle that those lights throw. If another car is behind you, you 
can see you car's shadow in front of you, even though your lights are on.

As for sending UK lights over here, not a good idea. We 'Mericuns drive on the 
right side of the road, and so your beam pattern would shine up and into 
oncoming traffic.
