Not to hijack the thread , but this is related. Is there any movement to
LED headlights? If so/not, why/why not.

Seems to me that the light would be better and made to be easier on the
eyes and reliability would be better.

Yes, but it's in the "concept car" stage at this point. I don't
recall who, Porsche or Audi perhaps.

It will happen sooner than later. LED technology is advancing much
more rapidly than any other illumination technology.

Viable designs have been demonstrated, the performance is there. The
issue is already one of cost vs peformance, and that'll develop as
the technology matures.
