Why incandescent turn signal bulbs?

[Baltimore]

I have a Limited so I am familiar with the lights. What I am saying is in 2025 no new vehicle by any manufacturer should be using incandescent lighting. If LED is the only option across the board then there wouldn’t be a cost difference.

There are many that would disagree with you. The serviceability of LED is the lowest. The predictability, availability, understanding, and cost of halogen all higher. LED is simply the newest, but also the most complex, especially in turn signals where circuit/signal breaking has to happen.

You can have your opinion, but it clearly doesn't match the mainstream costs-benefits analysis in play. And if LED was the only option, then we'd be hearing even more crap whining on the cost of a vehicle b/c people want everything for nothing rather than acknowledging what goes into creating such complex machines.

Well I don’t generally do a cost benefit analysis on headlights. I just know when I get in a car that has incandescent headlights they suck compared to modern LED. As for turn signals they just look dated compared to LED. Not everything is about what something costs.
