Man I want to put LED bulbs in my 1999 model year car, but I don't want to start blinding people. The last thing I want is for someone to hit me because they were blinded. It seems many LEDs do intend to have similar beam patterns to halogen bulbs, but I'm not sure how well they actually do.

Our 2020 Mazda has LED headlights, and I gotta admit, they are much better for seeing. We live off the beaten path, not a ton of traffic, but plenty of deer and other animals.

On the other hand, my headlights in the 1999 had gotten really hazy, and I recently did one of those headlight restoration kits to it, and it worked stunningly well. Since then, I haven't driven at night very much to get a feel for how much it helped. So maybe I won't need LEDs. (The halogens in there are relatively new.)

You can't go and kill the guy at a point where you know he has events in his yet. (A person's "yet" is what is known of their personal future). You have to attack him at a point where you he doesn't have any events in his yet that you know about. This also means no killing Hitler before April 30th 1945.

Lucky for us my super power is that I’m completely incompetent at remembering dates and events. Even after reading your comment I couldn’t tell you what date you said or have any idea what it is referring to.

Oh I’m definitely on the Fuck You Frank! team.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the horribly distracting flicker that they make.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I've never noticed a flicker.

Related, but are most people unbothered by LED tail lights / brake lights? The flicker drives me nuts.
