Dear Supporters,

Below is a letter that I sent to Representative Mike Thompson on December 15, 2024.
-----------------------------
Dear Adam Durand, Representative Mike Thompson,

In this email I have copied several of Representative Mike Thompson’s constituents.

I am forwarding to you a petition about LED headlights that was started in the UK, but is addressed to NHTSA, and received 40,000 signatures in just two weeks. (https://www.change.org/p/implement-regulations-to-minimize-headlight-brightness-in-cars).  When combined with the Soft Lights Foundation petition that has 65,000 signatures, there are now over 100,000 individuals who have taken the time to officially notify the automakers, NHTSA, and Congress that the LED headlight crisis must be fixed.

Since the time that the Soft Lights Foundation first contacted Representative Thompson about LED headlights in 2023, we have learned much.  We have now learned that the LED headlight issue is a massive fraud called Headlightgate.  

The photo below shows a dark spot in the headlight beam.  This dark spot is designed to allow the headlamp to pass the NHTSA tests, but to otherwise be blindingly bright.  This is a bad faith and fraudulent action by the automakers.  

The Soft Lights Foundation is working directly with government officials in California and New York to pass new laws to regulate LED headlights at the state level.  These laws will help protect the public, but is a disaster for the auto industry.

I have filed a Pro Se lawsuit against NHTSA and  the the FDA for failing to comply with 21 U.S.C. 360ii.  I intend on filing a lawsuit against automakers in 2025.  We are actively searching for a class action law firm to sue the automakers for selling vehicles with defective headlights.

On behalf of all of Representative Thompson’s constituents, and on behalf of the 100,000 individuals who signed the petitions, and on behalf of all Americans who have demanded action by the authorities, the Soft Lights Foundation is requesting a personal meeting with Representative Thompson, via video, to discuss Headlightgate and to find out how to get this headlight crisis fixed.

Sincerely,

Mark Baker
President
