Vehicles with LED lights...WTF???????????
Just fekkin awful. NO chance of them being focussed, how on earth do they pass the beam shape test???
You can see 'em coming miles off, they are the very white ones with so much scatter they are dangerous. HOW did they EVER get type approval????????? |

They're... er… brilliant!

Actually the beam pattern is identical to a projector, very clear and defined cut-off . Adjustment is the same. The MAJOR problem is nearly ALL new cars have the beam aim too high, or its beam is adjusted by some muppet with the engine off. Headlamps with auto aim will drop down to their lowest height setting with the engine off, or on some when it is in Park. Along comes MOT tester who fails it for being too low, then adjusts them higher. Now when the car is running the lamps are aimed miles too high. Because it’s an array of asymmetrical reflectors, when aimed wrong the light bounces all over the place not helped by decorative chrome surfaces inside the lamp itself :facepalm: Incorrectlly fitted bulbs is a pet hate...A H7 bulb on the piss in complex reflector lamps..,it’s clear the bulb isn’t fitted right (probably free fitting by Halfords), but the lamp’s optics become totally ineffective if the bulb is positioned wrong, the result is a high insensity blob that blinds oncoming traffic. Same with retrofit HID H7 or H4 bulbs, some do work but is a massive minority , the majority don’t give any beam pattern at all! I let these tossers know with my bi-zenon and 130watt high beams (yes I have both...best of both worlds ) , you blind me, I blind you. |
Should I dare mention cyclists with with 1000lumen spots strapped on their head :mad: |

Not only the one on the head that could be pointing absolutely anywhere but the fixed ones which flash broad daylight for miles around then go to complete darkness. I'm glad i'm not epileptic with some of those on the road! |
Spooky , i was about to post something this morning on exactly this subject
How are they legally allowed to buy this type iv got flashing cateye bike lights , from 20 years ago ,driven by 2 AA - But NOTHING like the intensity these things disorientating , for someone without epilepsy |

They are fantastic. The beam cut off is razor sharp with no scatter. Yes they are very bright, provide exceptional night time viewing even without high beam.
also they are very clever design with anti dazzle, individual beam control when approaching vehicles from behind or oncoming vehicles I did read that LED lights are causing problems with vision, but that's more a problem with the light that LEDs emit, as opposed to the beam, but that is also a problem with LED street lighting, which is causing seep problems! |
LED? that's so yesterday. Laser tech is where it's at :)

The lights on my E63 are fantastic, wack them on auto, enabling auto beam and you can see it move the main beam around to avoid any annoyance to oncoming traffic.
Its even more obvious when following another car at night, where it will lower the beam, then as you pass the car in front, it'll move the beam around. They are very bright. I think they are called Intelligent LED |
