There was nothing wrong with the halogen and I’ll die on that hill. Ever since they abandoned it, it’s been an arms race, and the aftermarket drop-ins are the worst offenders. I’ve resigned myself to never seeing anything on the highway shoulder because of the intensity of oncoming traffic’s headlights.
I like LEDs over halogens because they’re more energy efficient. I just wish they’d said “Cool, we can use fewer watts for the same number of lumens” instead of “Cool, we can get more lumens out of the same number of watts”

I’ve never had a LED headlight go out. I’ve had many halogen lights go out.
That too, the ridiculous lifespan of LEDs, to the point where it didn’t even occur to me to mention it.
I also agree with you: power efficiency is rad.
