You say that as if saving $10 on a bulb once every few years is worth the risk of spending $100s or apparently even $1000s if they get damaged.

There are reasons cars have been getting ever more unaffordable (above and beyond inflation), and stuff like bespoke model-specific headlights requiring complicated tooling to manufacture is one of them.

    Cost wise, no it’s not worth it.

    But you now have an item that

    • never needs to be maintained
    • is brighter
    • works better

    The adaptive headlights in my car are truly amazing, and every time I’m blinded by oNcoming headlight glare I wish everyone had them

    Brighter is a negative trait in my opinion.

    I partly agree, headlights are causing harm by blinding other drivers. But adaptive headlights seem to work. Brighter should only be allowed with adaptive headlights

    I can drive through a busy area with “high beams” on but watch dark spots move to keep other cars in the dark
