Nevertheless, my driving takes me on hilly, 60 MPH, 2-lane roads. Visibility and split-second decisions on the part of other drivers are of utmost concern. Headlights are used 100%: day and night.

The solution of less consumption generally translates to either a lower voltage DRL setup, an LED adjunct, or OEM replacement bulb set. The problem then becomes usability, return on investment, and reduction in consumption in total.

From a "coolness" perspective, LEDs look pretty keen IMHO -- front and rear. It all depends on the budget and willingness to spend...
