He stopped me when I had a myriad of driving lights on my truck many years ago. Not all were in operation at the time, but he mentioned it to me in a parking lot as I was walking away after parking.

I've always remembered that but never heard anyone ever mention anything like it.

Has anyone ever heard of this?
It is the law to have only headlights at the prescribed height, fog lights without fog are illegal. The myriad of high mounted lights often seen on trucks should be covered when on the road and are for off road use only.
DTRL's should be a minimum of 7,000 candelas, the lower power to the headlights is to save gas in Europe, likewise LED use.

Personally I would have given you a ticket. Who said you were not too bright?
