I don't like the LED's on the bumper or headlights. It takes away from the character of the car. It makes the car screams 'WANNABE EURO'...IMO.

Actually a little bit different than that. Think of picking up about 4-6 LED flashlights with good quality heads such as Dorsey or Coast. Take the heads off the flashlights and place them at angles towards the side of the road. Now connect into the steering wheel angle sensor and turn them on based on steering angle. I have done a couple of test drives with one 210 lumen light that looks very promising as far as beam pattern for what I want to do. Maybe a little to much spot and not enough spill but close.

To me the correct way in this age of high power LEDs to make adaptive headlights is to use something like the angle sensor to fade in and out pre-focused and pre-aimed lights rather than mechanically moving them.
