Default The new Acura with row of lights

Apparently called jewel eye.

I found them incredibly annoying in the rearview mirror as the glare is intense and color keeps changing as the soft SUV goes over road bumps. What are your thoughts?

Just about every projector based headlight (halogen, HID, LED) has this effect when viewed in the mirror from my experience. I do find the glare to be different than that of halogens and HIDs. I haven't really found that LEDs produce more glare though.

I like em. The only Acura has going for them IMO.

I notice pretty much all headlights, regardless of what they are, in my lowered car. Although, I get most annoyed by the 2nd gen Prius HID reflector.
