Most people only know if the light is not aimed straight and not worried about beam edging, angle of pitch, Kelvin scale, etc.

It’s like speakers in the truck. Not many will say the frequency range is off or give some sort of acoustical analysis because they have a tuned ear.

I don't hate LED lamps. I dislike just throwing together something that's brighter in the wrong spectrum to bandaid a failing worn out lamp.

LED bulbs work well in lamps that are designed for them. They are a poor compromise when installed in lamps designed for another light source. They cause issues for other drivers and still do not light up the road as well as a new lamp and bulb set.

If you've never had the pleasure of driving a vehicle with selective yellow forward lamps you should try it out. I've driven a Triumph Stag and an early 1970's Porsche 911 with OEM selective yellow headlamps. They're a heckuva lot easier on the eyes at night.
