    Same form factor is the problem: LEDs need a different beam pattern with a sharp cutoff, otherwise they’re harming other drivers.

    But adaptive headlights are even better. They seem to work really well and I’m a huge fan. I have really bright LED headlights so I can see everything but I can also watch them change to keep other cars in a dark spot so I don’t blind them.

    The combination of super bright LEDs with adaptive headlights seem like a huge safety improvement for us all

      Same form factor doesn’t mean same reflectors. It just needs to fit into the same space. You can fit LEDs into that space.
