The real issue is they don't sell "standard brightness" LEDs permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 50 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nor is there much in the way of standard height or direction. As cars keep getting taller, those of us not in the Child Crusher 350 or whatever are getting blinded by tall headlights & those that don't point down enough. There very much needs to be significant standardization & enforcement on off-standard kit jobs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) Drove past a 90's truck the other day that was lifted and had LED replacements on stock headlamps.
