What will Ford Motor Company (Ford has a better Idea, CLICK!) do if
Incandescent Light Bulbs are outlawed in America?

Incandescent panel lamps will still be allowed for a while at least
won't they?
*Something* with a dimmer switch. Runs on a battery anyway...
Uh, Guys,
The amount of electricity taken by the headlamps is totally
insignificant compared to the power to move the car, so I don't think it
is a priority with any car maker. They have almost all gone to LED tail
lights and turn signals since they don't burn out nearly as often, it at
all, and they can claim to be going high tech. Headlamps I have seen a
lot of halogen but when a car is coming at me it is damn near blinding
even on low beam.
There's up and then there's downs to any technology.
Lets hope the LED's when they finally make it to headlights can have a
better focused beam.

The big saving to the Auto Makers is that the
new LED Lights can use a smaller Wire and
help reduce the Cost and Weight of the Car.
