How can I rent a car with (1) adaptive (2) HID/LED headlights? [closed]
My grandparents drive slowly at night, but they still prefer adaptive and HID/LED headlights, as these add-ons can only help and their SUV is fitted with them. Presume that the rental car companies' HID/LED headlights are legal.
They've found that rental cars' halogen high beams aren't adaptive and are too dim, as substantiated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) on Nov 29 2018:
Just over half of 2018 model vehicles IIHS evaluated are available with headlights that do an adequate job of lighting the road at night and limiting glare for oncoming drivers, but most good-rated headlights are optional or bundled with features that can raise the price of the vehicle.
"Consumers shouldn't have to buy a fully loaded vehicle to get the headlights they need to safely drive at night," says David Aylor, manager of active safety testing at IIHS. "All new vehicles should come with good headlights."
Avis's and Enterprise's executive relations manager said that because stocks change, specific models can't be guaranteed. Hertz can guarantee a model, but not one with adaptive HID/LED-headlights. The best they can do, is to save one for my grandparents if one happens to be on their lot.

Are LED headlights better than HID?
They have an average lifespan of more than 20,000 hours, which means they need to be replaced far less often than HID headlights, which have an average lifespan of up to 5,000 hours. LED headlights are also more durable. If you're looking for long-lasting, high-quality headlights, we suggest ALLA Lighting LED bulbs.Are LED headlights as bright as HID headlights?
Brightness: LED lights can have a brightness of 9,000-10,000 lumens while HID might have 8,000 lumens. Both, however, are brighter than traditional halogen lights. Technology: LED lights use electricity while HID uses gas (typically xenon).What are HID lights for cars?
High-intensity discharge (HID) headlights are what you're typically looking at when you see blinding blue-white light from an oncoming car. They use high voltage to create an electrical arc between two poles separated by a tube of xenon gas, instead of making a filament glow like older headlights.What is LED headlight?
LED Headlights (Light-Emitting Diode) are the latest technology in headlights systems. LED Headlights will provide you with a substantial light output increase on your vehicle, enhancing security & visibility. LED lights are very energy-efficient and will last you a lot longer.HID Headlights: Are they Better than LEDs?
