I'm curious what their "good" rating entails. Hopefully not just brighter lights, that just makes oncoming traffic blind. That could end up being more dangerous overall, even if it's not the car with "good" headlights doing the killing. Realistically, if you're going to walk at night somewhere there are cars, wear a light, high vis vest, reflectors, SOMETHING.
