I believe the reason it is disabled on import cars is because of DOT regulations.
I think it's some old regulation from like the 60s that just was never updated and it's easier to do nothing than it is to do something. For VLD it seems of little risk of blinding other drivers because it's not flashing the high beams and I can't imagine the coppers or anyone would notice something is up with your headlights.
