I know I’m not the only one who feels like I’m getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?
Myth. LEDs do not last. Led house bulbs also suck, and die all the time. Led headlight literally go out on 2 year old vehicles, ive seen it often, usually Chevy’s if i recall.
The whole “led lasts forever” was a scam.
So Chevy cant design a proper circut. Check.
My Acura MDX has permanent LEDs, they cannot be changed without buying a complete new headlight assembly. I’ve been driving it for 11 years and have never had any of them fail. They will outlast the car.
Of course bad designs overheating the leds do lead to some cars models (and brands) burning out their LED’s, but as a general statement its still true.
Which brand led bulbs are you buying, so I can avoid them? I have bulbs that I use daily when I’m at home, and a few are getting close to 15 years old at this point.
They can last forever, or you can push them too hard with too little cooling to save money. Almost all bulbs seem to do this.
