So LEDs are new technology that took over pretty much everything in the lighting world in the last 15 years. It's just sort of arguably the biggest change in lighting technology since like, you know, they first fired up a incandescent light bulb.

It's taking the traditional form of a light bulb, which is sort of like one source of light that emits in every direction and replacing it with something that's more akin to like a computer chip. So you can really like... program the different chips, which almost function like pixels or something. And it's more energy efficient. They last longer.

It was a total sea change in the lighting world when LEDs came out. And over time, they've started to replace pretty much everything. And that includes car headlights.

There's a lot of answers for that. And the shortest one is just that LEDs are kind of the future. But one really concrete reason that car companies like LEDs is that they are very much in search of getting a good safety rating from this nonprofit called the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, the IIHS. They're a nonprofit that is funded by the insurance companies.

You know, they all kind of pool in together. That's sort of like when you hear about like crash test dummies.

A lot of that is like the IIHS. And they, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, have deemed brighter headlights to be advantageous to getting a good safety rating. So if you're trying to get that safety rating, you want to pump more light down the road. And the way to pump more light down the road is through more powerful LEDs. So that's an important reason why car companies favor them.
