Dazzled by Mitsubishi - oldgit

I had the misfortune, last night, of following a Mitsubishi Grandis, between Banstead and Purley. I couldn't get past this vehicle and therefore noticed how overbright the rear stop/tail lights were, up high, either side of the rear window.
Each unit comprised approximately 23 LEDs and when held up at traffic lights etc. they were exceptionally bright when the brakes were being applied and as this was an automatic it was very uncomfortable being the car immediately being said vehicle.
Surely there should be regs. limiting the amount of brightness emanating from this type of assembly - they should be attenuated during the hours of darkness.
