I only did it because they didn't make LED lights for automotive use back then, and I worked a night shift that had tons of down time. The internet didn't have so much content then, so once I reached the end of it, I needed something to do.

Back in 1998 I paid $8 per white LED and converted my headlamp. I had been going on night hikes every day, and would chew through a set of AA batteries on each hike. Having no money, this was unsustainable.
