The Signal is All Wrong
OK, I need to rant for a minute. There is a new trend in car headlights/signal lights that is not only annoying, it is useless and perhaps dangerous. I'm talking about the trend to include all the lights on the front of a car into one unit (see top picture). Now this may be a very clever and stylish way to do it, but it's not very useful. When the headlight is on, it completely washes out the signal light. (Clever is often the enemy of good). There needs to be a reasonable separation of the two lights, so you can actually see the dimmer one - signal light (see bottom picture). Look sometime - with these new cars, you can't see the signal. Enough said!
