LED street lights are bad. Some look good though. HID is better.
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!

I wonder if it was a new one or one with a blown ballast. :o

Either way, it would have been in pieces after that crash.

Since the pole looked to be new , I'd say the light was also .  The car was definitely brand new !!

Ahh, the infamous Ford Pinto.

IIRC the MTO did similar crash testing with their lighting standards (concrete truss, steel truss etc) back in the late 1960s. I don't think there's video of it but there's a old PDF report of the various designs being crash tested.
