One annoyance of getting a new car.

The string of LED's around tail lights looks chincy, particularly on
expensive cars.

I'm waiting for the Tbird emulation frenzy to take place! :

Those that want to grow their pot with them should look at spectra of
light output. There is more UV but not sure how else they might affect
growth.

Depends on the car. My Genesis has LED taillights but they have a full red
lens so they don't appear to be a string of dots.

Front DRL on a few cars look terrible, IMO. Cadillac is one of the worst, IMO,
Audi not far behind. They they go out when the turn signal is on and it really
looks bad.

Some look like the designers got a new toy and they don't know how to play with
them yet, but they must use them because the competition has them.

A lot of what goes into cars (appearance-wise) is to make the vehicle
more noticeable to other drivers (safety). E.g., brake lights had
been "low, on either side" of the car for ages -- why the sudden
need to put a third one "up high"?

Ans: because it isn't *expected* there (yet) so drivers notice it
more readily.

Ditto motorcycles running with headlight(s) on -- in daylight.

Drivers -- when not deliberately distracted by their own amusements -- tend
to "zone out" and fail to see lots of what's in front of them.
