Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Car and Driver: Why Is America Stuck With Bad Headlights?

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Didn’t the Tucker from the 1940s have an “adaptive” system via the center light which turned with the steering wheel? I know Citroen also used this feature with their SM from the ‘70s.

 

I’d really welcome this from Porsche as I find many modern car’s headlights are now too bright, especially in respect with oncoming traffic.

 

Beyond intensity, lens design plays the biggest role with more traditional, tungsten filament bulbs. As much as I disliked my old Smart car, by far, it had the best headlights of any car I’ve driven. Beam pattern was absolutely razor sharp with no bleed or fade, even over long distances.

LEDs are not just for planes anymore...

 

Why Is America Stuck With Bad Headlights?
A drive in a European-market 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S with matrix LEDs proves that America's headlights aren't too bright.
