Re: Black headlights

Our city is replacing the sodium lamps with LEDs for the street lights. It's true that the human eye responds best close to the sodium lamp color, but the real reason was because they are cheaper to run than the old mercury lamps. The LEDs are white, though, giving a more natural color to things.

I put the relay kit from LMC on my truck to brighten the headlights up, but they don't seem to shine any brighter than what brand new lights may have looked like.
