And there was Light.
What will Ford Motor Company (Ford has a better Idea, CLICK!) do if
Incandescent Light Bulbs are outlawed in America?
cuhulin
I think they are already on the government's hit list.
Sodium vapor lights? Turn on and wait for ignition???
LED's will probably be packed into a headlight assembly.
I have a 5 year old Cat Eye LED bicycle light that is fair to middling
in the light output category. Newer LED's are brighter but require some
serious heat sinking, something that is do'able in a car for mass
production.
I think they would be more reliable too since I have had one filament
break while the lights were on and I hit a big bump. The filaments are
fairly robust when cold, but very weak when heated to make light.
All 4 now,
