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.

.
A few ounces (or grams) of wire won't make much of a difference. There
was some talk a few years back of running one power wire around the car
and having each light, widget, or doohickey have it's own IP address in
the car and have it all controlled by a master computer. Think of what
could happen if your car was controlled by a single chip computer and it
got a virus or just a bad chunk of code. Thankfully that has not
happened, yet.

Depends on the size and the source. An H-bomb going off next to you
would give you one hell of an EMP, not that you would have time to
notice. Modern chips are fabricated with 45nM features and the move is
on to 22nM, which means even 1 volt would arc over them.
Do the math.

You wouldn't have time to do any mathematical musings.
Any thermonuclear activity strong enough to produce more than a mere click in
your receiver would have to be close enough to include you in its blast zone,
and would likely sublime you and your calculator, abacus, or whatever device you
were using to distract yourself.

That's what I meant.
POOF!
