America’s ban on incandescent light bulbs, 16 years in the making, is finally a reality. Well, mostly.

      Judging by the exemption list, the ban is basically just for regular household lightbulbs. Headlights are halogens, not incandescent, and the rest are speciality bulbs - though if it’s legal, swapping all of those to LEDs is a pretty good upgrade.

          Stock up for what? Even if they were banned, there would be LED replacements available, I’m sure. Usually parts like that have enough compatibility between models to make it worth a production run.

      Headlight and taillights would have to be exempt.
