I posted the original article mainly for entertainment and am not concerned about Saabs getting pilfered. True, halogen's days are numbered.
I *am* anticipating that solid state headlamps will displace even HID, though. It's a few years off, but white LED technology is already showing up in supplemental headlamp designs at Ford and, of course, is already ubiquitous on the backs of trucks and now cars.
Imagine the efficiency of LEDs throughout the entire car . . . it's bound to happen. The Autozone chain already carries solid state turn signal lamps for under $15. Heck, who would have known a few years ago that today's local Dollar Store would stock complete laser pointers with batteries??
