Didn't see that so much in Korea, but did so in Italy in the 70's & 80's, as Italians believed the same.
What was really annoying was in any city they would flash their lights at you so you would turn off your headlights. In those days, cities were not as bright as today but instead every block had a 60 watt bulb lighting the way.
Standardization within the EU has gotten rid of much of this.
