LED aren't so good now as seeing lights-- people with exceptional night vision aside. Halogen are better *as seeing lights* (I add so you don't think I'm saying "halogen are just better" because I don't repeat the qualifications in every sentence). They're better (as seeing lights) because they can produce enough light to illuminate the road usefully, and for not a lot of money. LED can't yet do that.
That IS exactly the same kind of statement I was objecting to in the first place. They might not
"illuminate the road usefully" for you, but they ARE illuminating the road usefully for many.
I certainly have a good "seeing light", because I'm seeing just fine with it. (and I do NOT have
"superhuman vision") It's a matter of opinion/preference/conditions, so you need to preface this
with a big fat IMO so it isn't presented as if it's a statement of fact.
