    I rarely ever see a car with defect headlights here in austria and didn’t have to change mine once over the past 200k kilometers.

    Also LEDs not only run with significantly higher efficiency (meaning they shine brighter, on less power); they also have a much longer lifespan. They use up less space and they are more resistant to damage from vibration than its two competing technologies. They are the superior lighting source in most every aspect. You were thinking of halogen lamps, which are the old standard that is currently being removed.

      And yet I see those all the time in Poland, where a lot of people have older cars.

      No, I am talking about daylight LED’s, the one that turn on when you start the engine. Most of the ones that are on cars I see are just a glorified LED strip. They simply exist so you don’t have to use the main ones. And again, they do fuckall. They’re just there so the cops don’t ticket you.
