Vehicles that have headlights in the bumper or turn signals in the rear bumper

What’s up with these new trends? A lot of new vehicles have skinny led lights on the hood and headlights in the bumper. Some have turn signals in the rear bumper instead of in the tail light. How hard will it be to change a bulb in a bumper?

Idk, but I just had to replace the LED bulbs in one light in my wife's vehicle and it was $550. Gone are the days of swinging by Pep Boys and grabbing a bulb for $10 and doing it yourself.

The L.E.D 1,000,000 candlelight laser beams on new cars should be outlawed before someone is seriously blinded!

Outside of infant mortality, the vast majority of LED lights will last the service life of the car. Car designers like LED strip lights because they open more design opportunities.

US laws dictate that brake lights cannot be on a movable part of the car. Some Audi SUVs have brake lights in the liftgate, and a second set on the bumper to function if the gate is open
As far as the headlights are concerned it’s the same thing, but I think most of what you’re seeing is design cues not necessarily getting around laws.

Also, have turn signals gotten smaller? I've noticed some very tiny turn signals lights lately.

I have a pair on the rear of my truck that come on when I put it in reverse for more light. There is also a switch so I can turn them on (when truck is in park) to light up behind my truck for when I am locking a gate back.

My ‘68 Vette lights were horrible, love the new LEDs

Aesthetic designs they think hide functional features. They have television commercials all about it.
