Yea these new HID lamps should be illegal. I've managed to combat it a bit by tinting my side and rearview mirrors. Doesn't help with oncoming lights but it does a lot to help when one of these damn new vehicles is behind you at night. Not legal where I live and I was pulled over once for it but I was let off with a warning after explaining why they were tinted. I think the officer agreed with me about these newer vehicles being dangerously bright. I still have them tinted and havent had any issues since but I'm always nervous about it.
