      My Subaru has lights that seem to be getting dimmer, at least relative to too many cars. I can get LED replacements. They’re not legal since the projectors wouldn’t change but they’re widely available and would help me

      My service station even offered to do it for me.

        Incandescent bulbs wear out and go dim over time. I bought some new ones and it solved the issue. Philips Xtreme vision is what I got, it was $15 for the pair.

          Maybe ill give it a try - you’re right they’re cheap (although I’ll stick with legitimate replacements, not LEDs)

      In basically every single LED headlight they’re the same thing, just angled up or down.

        Sort of the same thing, but differences in color temperature matter a lot when it comes to perceived brightness.

          Also cutoff height, which changes with every bump in the road. It’s like being flashed with high beams half the time.

            My newer car has a very sharp cutoff height so normally it probably is ok. But I don’t know of any roads without bumps
