Cars need to come with very bright daytime running lights with replaceable LEDs.

I agree with you on the lights being on all the time, but not so much for $10 for headlight bulbs.

I wish they were $10 - modern HID bulbs and ballasts can run in the hundreds of dollars, and if an LED burns out in a headlight cluster you’re probably looking at thousands for a replacement. On top of that, some modern vehicles require extensive labor to even get to some of those parts.

Yeah, I was going to say, I just spent 50 bucks on a LED bulb that I had only had for a little over a year before it went out. Luckily my car is older and I was able to replace the bulb myself both times so I saved on labor.
