    Unless they ripped the original driveway and did a correct grading and a asphalt base coat then a top coat that driveway will only last about 5 years. I don't care how many times you seal it I remembered your original video and when you said it would last 20 years and I saw them overlay the old driveway I thought this guy is getting robbed. I'm glad you put up this 3 yr later vid. because I remembered thinking I'd love to see this driveway in 3 years and its just as I suspected it would look

    Also, IMO, the halogens provide a much better color temperature for nighttime driving. The blue cast of LED lights (and sometimes a washed out white) tends to make everything They illuminate appear to be the same color. The halogens on the other hand provide warmer, softer (more diffuse), light that is more representative of how things appear in daylight. I have yet to find LED bulbs with good color temperature and built-in diffusers, but I think that’s what it would take for an LED bulb too deliver the same experience that more standard headlights and bulbs do. Bright, wide, warm and diffuse are the hallmarks of OEM lighting.
