I was not commenting on the FACTS about consumers - Only the mental position of marketing teams selling the stuff.

I grew up on western PA - and yes you cannot have enough light on a backroad to try to see the deer. And we all know - it is not the DEER you see that are of concern - it is his buddies waiting to jump infront of you from outta nowhere.

But the idea of "put these bulbs in your car to see better" is sucker marketing. as stated above the whole unit should be replaced to have the most impact.
