Yes! It's one of my strongest pet peeves!

Behind you isn't much better except that you can flip the interior rear view and the outside ones (mostly the driver's side) are motorized. It's thoroughly distracting and annoying. I guess if I wanted to be a total prick I could aim the light back at the other driver, but propagating this type of light probably isn't the answer.

LED's throw a very narrow spectrum of light. Plants are very photoactive type things, more so than the musical types we have here at homewreckers. If you put a regular household LED light on a plant as a grow light, it won't grow. It probably won't even see the light in many cases. So I wonder why we can't see what's in the fridge? Proper LED grow lights that actually work quite well have a number of different colours including representation from the ultraviolet and infrared spectrums that we as musicians would generally want to avoid for health reasons. It creates a wider spectrum. Think Billy Cobham or something. Good LED grow lights make your plants look like alien freaking space plants from Mars or something. Trying to adapt LED technology so that we as musicians can actually fucking see properly doesn't seem to be a huge priority for anyone. Incandescent, flourescent, halogen and HID lighting can all come with variations for basic colour temperature, but all of them also emit a much wider light spectrum than LED. It's like a parmetric EQ. If you set the Q bandwidth to notch it's not like it doesn't have uses but it isn't exactly a musical choice. The sun is full spectrum and plants love it more than anything, and I don't need my glasses for most things in sunlight.
Sorry for the rant, but I hate, hate LED headlights.
Hate!
Cool looking build you got there, though. That looks like it will be an awesome space once it's complete.
