    Can’t wait to be blinded by the sun in the morning, and blinded on the drive home with all these super fucking bright LED headlights.

      I can’t say I miss incandescent bulbs, but holy fuck I miss the warm lighting they provided. Why does everything have to be so damn blue?

        Newer cars are coming with warmer LEDs. I have a '24 impreza and it’s almost perfect white now.

        The projector housings definitely help too. Those LED retrofits are the dangerous ones. The halogen style housings just spill light everywhere.

          What are you considering “perfect white”? Old headlights were a very warm white. Probably ~2500k or maybe even lower. Daylight is about 4800k

            Halogen headlights were usually about 3000k or up. 2500k is very orange. Peak Daylight is about 5000k to 6000k, sunrise and sunset are around 2000k to 3000k.

            Perfect, or Natural White, is right about 5000k.
