Default WPOTD: I just figured out that e-Codes are headlights and not special codes...

I kept reading threads mentioning e-Codes and thought people were buying special electronic codes. What these codes did, I had no clue, but I figured it must be something useful if people were paying for them.

But wham, the light hits me and I realize they're European code headlights.

So, what's so great about them?

Default Nothing special, IMO. They look nice, but I like the added visibility of amber turn signals.

I want everyone around me knowing what my intentions are.

They're not as visible, though, IMO.

I see your point. Neon underbody lighting would make it more visible as well.
