But only if they’re regulated well

    Headlight height has nothing to do with this conversation. Frosting the headlights on an F-150 will reduce their throw. The F-150’s headlights will be made brighter to compensate. Your Sentra will now be blinded all the same. The solution to this problem is lowering headlights in the type of the Juke and Gen 1 Cherokee (not grand Cherokee, the 2015 compact).

    Your sentra’s hazy headlight is throwing more light at oncoming drivers than the clear, properly aimed headlight.

      Again and again, I’ve already said multiple times, I do not mean to haze the front of the headlight, I mean to diffuse the back reflector

      Definitely have the front clear and no haze, no dispute there. But if you shine the light towards a backside diffused reflector, then if designed properly, the light coming out of the front will be fully directionally controlled, while also being smoother and using the front surface area more effectively. And most importantly, not blinding other drivers!
