Re: the newest thing NOT HID / but LED
The only LEDs on my polo are in the center grille. During the day they function as a legal DRL. At night they further aid in the visibility to be seen. Maryland does not consider it an actual "light", so at night it does not violate the 4-light rule (low and high beams or low and fogs)
The state police don't even seem to mind that I have no amber running lights. They only come on as turn signals. ON-OFF-ON-OFF seems to be more noticeable then DIM-BRIGHT-DIM-BRIGHT
And since opinions matter here, I think Daniel Stern is not always the lighting guru that many think he is. Daniel Stern, like Howard Stern, is someone I find entertaining, sometimes enlightening and often times obnoxious. Both may raise valid points and may have some element of truth in what they say. But I don't take everything they say all that seriously.
When you spend time in Europe, you will see just how pathetic the U.S. lighting laws are, especially when it comes to things like glare. I have driven SVX's under the ECE standard and it is a world of difference. Every country in the world has this superior standard, except for the US, Canada and Mexico.

Just my opinion.
