I'm sorry for the gigantic image. I hope that the website re-sizes it for you like it does for me

I was reading the most recent motor trend this weekend and saw an article for a Kia k900. Its a new luxury car they are releasing but what caught my eye was the headlights. They are LEDs!!!! The future is closer than I thought. Hopefully in the near future there will be more companies offering them and retrofit kits for older cars (thinking about the 4x6 headlights on my Monte). But depending on how well they work, I'd even consider making something work on my Saturn (or whatever car I may be driving at that time).

I know headlamps draw a ton of power, think it might be good for 1mpg??
