    Halogens sometimes dim over time, so if you still have the original headlight bulbs, you might consider replacing them. I just replaced the bulbs in our 2014 vehicle for that reason, and the new ones are a bit brighter. But, I agree with your points in general.

    Most of the LEDs that are a problem for me are the aftermarket ones. I don’t usually have an issue with the ones that are on cars designed for them, fortunately.

      The problem for me is it’s so much of a hassle to get to the bulb that it’s not worth it unless they actually go out. You practically have to take the engine out to get to the headlines.

        Yeah, some cars are real bears. The ones in mine aren’t bad, though our pickup does have a latch you have to unlock from the wheel well (Youtube helped there). But I know some older Mazdas, for example, required removing the bumper cover and other things to get to the bulbs. Yikes.
