Many drivers change over to the Xenon headlight bulbs, but they are just not meant to be on some vehicles and as Edogg says even those vehicles that they are suitable for are not being properly fitted.
I have also found that LED rear lights also tend to be too bright and glaring on some cars, but the main thing that I have noticed is that the light designs have become more of a fashion statement than a safety feature.
On the fashion statement side of things, has anyone else noticed how small the lights on larger vehicles such as coaches have become ?
Puzzles me as well. Many styles seem to have large superfluous reflector arrangements extending back up the wings.
Why would I want to see what's inside ? The light coming out of the front is my only concern !:err:
Do the idiots think it's some kind of phallic laser array ? What next, dummy ion drive exhausts ?
Prone to scratching and minor damage, difficult if not impossible to repair, expensive to replace.
That's probably the reason, much the same as decorative "bumper" assemblies.
What happened to the original idea of providing sacrificial parts in areas prone to minor damage, and cheap simple replacement ?:err:
