I don't know, that's pretty badass. I'll take the sequential LED Light strips please.

No worse than some of the shit people put on their pinball machines.

Stupid indicators are a pet peeve of mine.

I wish they hadn't decided to move indicators inside the headlights. You used to be able to see the corner indicators from a range of angles, but now it's a crap shoot and the side indicator can be in several places and with clear lenses with LEDS they are very hard to see in direct sunlight.

So that might be dumb, but Mitsubishi figured out a way to make it worse. This:

That orange thing is a reflector where the indicator used to be. The indicator next to the headlight is so far recessed you can't see it outside of a 45 degree sweep in front and then there's an orange thing to make you think you've actually seen the indicator but it isn't blinking. Cue pedestrians walking across the road as the car turns into them.

Worst design ever.

I would say that's better than a solid 95% of em

where I live most drivers don't use indicators.

Well that turned an .89 cent bulb into ?? And 2 hours of shop labor.

Old head lights
There was only one to buy it fit all cars
It cost $10
Anyone who can use a screwdriver could change and align it in 10 minutes
It lit up the road

New head lights
Different design and part number for every make, every model, every year, every trim level
Cost at least $200-300 each
Need a mechanic to install them
Look cool but the plastic covers start getting hazy within a few years and they cloud up and look like crap
They light up the road

Progress

My $10 headlights are WAY brighter than my $500 headlights. No comparison.

Dunno what car you have ... The zenon headlamps on my lexus RCF are so bright a blind man could see them. Tiny little things too. I shudder to think how much they'd cost to replace though ...

I'm pleased to say the LED turn indicators don't "sweep"

I'm still waiting for someone to finally implement a U-turn signal. *shrug*

I have loved sequential turn signals since first seeing them on a '67 Cougar! (I know the T-bird had them first but you never saw those around here when I was a kid)

Well a lot of the newer vehicles have those front running LED markers that go out on the one side when the turn signal for that side is flashing.
To me it looks broken. I hate it! Very annoyed each and every time I see it.

Look to the more expensive car brands for progress.

These make my point exactly. I read somewhere that it costs $2,000.00 to replace one of the BMW adaptive headlights with a new one.

"DMD" Digital Micromirror Device oyyyyyyyyyy /facepalm

Oh lord inter LEDs makers fighting

Too bad the U.S. laws don't allow for the fully adaptive headlights, it's the same hardware but they have to disable them in software.

I think those animated lights are sorta cool.

Certainly not as irritating as when idiots deliberately paste their annual plate renewal stickers all over their license plate like it's a friggin' Xmas tree, instead of in the corner where it belongs.

I just saw one on the road today that really aggravated me. They put the new on on top of the old one, OK that isn't too big of a crime if you at least stack it on top neatly. But the old one had obviously been put on it the corner after the frame was taken off. They were too lazy to take the frame off to put the new one on, and the frame covers part of the upper corner, so they just stuck the new one a little lower so it would fit inside the frame. So you can see the old one sticking out from behind the new one at an angle. Now that is irritating. These things bother me. Then again, I am the type who waxes and buffs the painted part of the underside of the hood, so I obviously have problems.

LOL! I do like to cascade them so you still see the top and left edges of each old one!

At least they're in the damn corner!

I made some sweeping turn signals for my 2003 TDI Beetle before everybody was doing it. It turned out that a DOT semi truck turn indicator fit perfectly in the housing if you cut the reflector out. So now I have sequential chevrons for turn signals.

My tail light was 2500 to replace. It's rediculous.
