But you can only drive about 10mph because you can’t see.

E-code lights were really good in the incandescent days. I got them for my wife’s ‘73 Dart. I don’t know about now.

Yes. I am all for introducing technology, and am fine if this is an optional thing. But I will guess they will make it mandatory.
Damn it, I just want government to stay out of my effing life.

Gee I wonder what could go wrong? This just screams “rule of unintended consequences?:
Guess I need to read up on the technology of those headlights now.

No. E-code lights light up the road and right side (in non-UK/Jap/Aus, etc.) so they are coded right and left. They focus the light on the road ahead. US-DOT lights are better at lighting up objects that are falling from the sky in front of you.

I recall LED lights being a real problem in the winter as they give of little to no heat. many traffic lights became useless because of this a few years ago in the snowier states.
Can see headlights no becoming useless in the winter?

Just like the Dodge Charger I rented recently. Driving around the dark roads at the Biltmore Estate at speeds never exceeding 30 MPH was terrifying - and the high-beams did NOT help. Worst headlights I’ve ever dealt with.

I had this thought pop into my head this morning on the way to work:
Why do new cars even have headlight switches? They all come with automatic headlights so why do I need a switch to select “parking lights”, “On”, “Off”, or “automatic”. I just need a switch to turn on my driving/fog lights

That’s what those reflectors are for in the middle of the road. So blind people can drive.

Like the red and blue ones you always see in your rearview mirror?

I still don’t get why people are driving in residential areas with highbeams on. I will flash them my highbeams in hopes they turn it off and they must be blind as they just keep driving on with highbeams.

E-Code lights have nothing to do with being LED or not. Just as there are LED and non-LED DOT replacement lights. Even with standard headlights, you have to wipe them off first thing in the morning if you are parked outside. Mercedes-Benz used to make headlamps with little wipers (very silly). If you are talking about the kind of blizzard where the snow accumulates WHILE driving at night, and you cannot just avoid driving, you will have to pull over periodically for the rear and side windows (assuming the defroster keeps the main windshield ok). You would wipe your headlamps then, too. It is not quite the same deal as traffic lights.

In my experience, less than a new key fob in a newer car, and somehow people bought into that.

My 2011 Cadillac SRX requires the whole nose body assembly to be removed from the car to replace the bulbs.
My headlight on the passenger side went out and I couldn’t believe the amount of work to change a bulb. But I kept looking around until I figured out that I could remove the air box and access the light housing and then remove the back plate and install the bulb. It also has the power motors that turn the headlights when the car turns. I had to make sure I didn’t drop the tiny screws for that assembly, or I would have had a real mess.
But there is still no way to access the driver side light without dropping the nose off the car.
