Honda would just make the argument that their lights meet the governement
standards, and they would win in court. So don't bitch at Honda. Let the
government know just how stupid their standards are. They might listen.

"They might listen." Only if you send them a pile of money,
like the car manufacturers due to get the rules bent their
way. Think FDA and how they keep forgetting to test this or
that and notify the consumer of this or that. Yes out
government is the best money can buy!

If you mean drugs, the FDA does not test drugs. The drug companies test the
drugs themselves and then submit the results to the FDA to review.
