Cool idea: Headlights that change color (via smartphone)

Very neat effect but definitely too cool for me. This stuff only makes sense for show car use to me, but to each their own. Funny how everything is smartphone controllable now.

An interesting idea, definitely. I loved the halo around the headlamp way back when BMW came up with the idea. It set them apart so much that, if you saw a halo, you immediately knew that car was a BMW. However, over time, more and more cars sported that same idea so that now, even the cheapest American and Euro cars have adapted that idea and lights around the headlamps is commonplace. The new Q70 and Q50 use lights in the headlamp assembly by tracing the outer eyebrow edge and the lamp shroud so, again, it is a design unique to those cars. I think the absolute worst use of these lights is the Porsche. Now that they have LED headlamps, you see 4 small squares which is gopping and goofy (in my opinion).
I wanted DRLs but did not want to use halos so I went with the old standard of LED bars along the lower bumper. Definitely NOT unique, but I didn't want unique, I only wanted to be visible to oncoming traffic.

Acura does the same thing.

True, but at least on an Acura, they are in a line across the housing, not a clump of little squares inside a round housing. Acura is pretty gopping as well - that front end reminds me of an old locomotive's cow catcher, LOL

Looks nice but I'm not into that sort of thing, lol
