Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

HIDs were the rage about 17 years ago. My Acura was one of the first cars that came with HID headlights as standard equipment.

I guess they are making a comeback o.o. my friend who works in o'reilly was telling that more people are buying HID's than a couple years ago. it made me wonder whats good about them

With HID lights(we usually call the xenon lights) visibility is apparently much better (didn't have a car with them yet) than with normal Halogen lights.
But considering LED vs Xenon the difference in visibility isn't that big. I remember Autobild.de doing a comparison couple years ago between LED, Xenon and Halogen on same car. The difference between LED and Xenon was minimal.
Why are LED more popular now? First you can do different designs with them. So this is one thing. Also, there is no changing light bulbs when you have LED.
But the most important difference are Matrix headlights. Basically you are driving all the time with long beam but when your can notices someone is approaching you from the other way it will turn off parts of the lights not to blind the driver of the other car. This is the thing Audi's had for some years(not all) but now you can get it in new Opel Astra.

Afternoon folks. Feeling indifferent about the material design for the Mobile Nations apps on Android.

I'm 1-4 in my fantasy football league and haven't won the office pool since mid September.

Looking forward to some better results today...

I'm using the dark mode and haven't tried the light mode.

It looks OK, but the header is too big.
