    Cost wise, no it’s not worth it.

    But you now have an item that

    • never needs to be maintained
    • is brighter
    • works better

    The adaptive headlights in my car are truly amazing, and every time I’m blinded by oNcoming headlight glare I wish everyone had them

      I might support this point of view if the last 20 years of lifespan promises with new light bulb technology had actually been true.

        Unfortunately that’s the fifth owner’s problem so nobody really considers it

        I partly agree, headlights are causing harm by blinding other drivers. But adaptive headlights seem to work. Brighter should only be allowed with adaptive headlights

        I can drive through a busy area with “high beams” on but watch dark spots move to keep other cars in the dark

            True, you can never entirely take human responsibility out of the loop. And humans suck

            Even when there scenarios adaptive headlight don’t cover, they’re much better overall than human
