Yes, modern headlamps can be a bit brighter than on a Ford Anglia but you can now actually see where you're going and the DRLs we have now are easily visible - rather more than the soft yellow glimmer you got from the Lucas sidelamps on the trusty Austin 1800..
If one needs lights to see where you are going in daylight, it is time to tear up your driving licence.
Headlamps beams can be adjusted up/down as required, however, I suspect most 'modern' motorists turn them to maximum and leave them there, few have any respect for other road users.
