LEDs emit light directionally, and therefore require less components to reflect and redirect light.

The latest technology usually launches on high-end luxury vehicles, so the fact that models like the just-launched new-generation 2022 Ford Ranger have Matrix LED lights available show its proliferation into the market.

On today’s roads, however, paying extra to have LED headlights and, where available, advanced Matrix LEDs will be a worthwhile investment, particularly if you do plenty of night driving outside the city limits.
