It's just to market a new product.
That we really need 4300K lighting in a car at night with varying power ie, low and high beam and extra power driving lights is lost.
The HIDs and LEDs are too white.
Although, with the population glued to screens all day, they are desiring the same white light.
I dunno, I reckon my eyes are rooted from TIG welding, certainly on aluminium!
Then, I'm old and a few sessions of chemo toxic waste in me it may have burned me eyes..
Joy!
