It's been messing with me too posted about it,got no advice. Try just using attachments,that's the only way I can put up a picThis quote and picture bs is passing me off!!!! Wtf! Why is it only happening to me?
Yeahhhhhh.....
Might be incredible from inside the car, but the fact that the low beams are twice as bright as most people's high beams is certainly not amazing for anyone in the oncoming lane, or driving in front of you for that matter. That doesn't even sound street legal, pretty dangerous actually.the difference at night is incredible, his low beams are twice as bright as his stock lights on hi beams
dangerous??Might be incredible from inside the car, but the fact that the low beams are twice as bright as most people's high beams is certainly not amazing for anyone in the oncoming lane, or driving in front of you for that matter. That doesn't even sound street legal, pretty dangerous actually.
good for you. in BC there legal.Those lights say they use 9003 bulbs. Here's what I see when I looked them up for legality/safety. They are legal as a fog light,not a headlight. But who cares about stupid laws and technicalities, nobody cares and nobody's going to get caught ,blah blah,blah.
so.I know for an absolute fact that in this accident bright lights were definitely a factor.
Yeah, blinding people while they're trying to drive is a pretty dangerous thing, that's why they have "failure to dim" laws for when you don't shut your high beams off for oncoming traffic. The LED lights on brand new Ford trucks are DOT approved too, and I have never met a soul that doesn't say those trucks' lights are too damn bright and don't belong on the road, besides the people who own them of course.dangerous??
hardly. when you aim them properly it's no big deal. and the fact there twice as bright just shows how crappy the stock sealed beams were.
there also DOT approved anyway
Nice attitude. Nobody's here saying they don't like the appearance of them, it's not a matter of personal taste. Not an opinion either, having lights that are too bright is dangerous, that is fact. You say "your problem, not mine", well it will be your problem one day when some jerk blinds you with HIS bright lights and you crash. Then of course I'm sure you'll complain that he was being irresponsible and try to sue him for causing an accident. It's all fine and dandy when you're the one blinding everyone and you don't have to deal with it, but it's not so fun when the shoe is on the other foot...good for you. in BC there legal.
like i said, if YOU know how to properly aim a light...maybe thats your problem, you don't know how to aim...
so.
what's that have to do with the lights in my son's firebird?? have you ever stood in front of his car?? has his lights blinded you all the way down in Kansas? maybe keep your opinions to yourself.
hay, if you don't like them, that's your prob, not mine. but don't go around making stupid blanket comments about being dangerous.
ps, maybe you need glasses or get your eyes checked if led lights bother you so much...jeebuz.....
aint no law in bc like that, and just so you know mr smarty pants, the bulbs that came with his headlights are H13-9008, DOT all the way.It's not an opinion it's law. Have a nice night.
come stand in front of my kids car.Yeah, blinding people while they're trying to drive is a pretty dangerous thing, that's why they have "failure to dim" laws for when you don't shut your high beams off for oncoming traffic. The LED lights on brand new Ford trucks are DOT approved too, and I have never met a soul that doesn't say those trucks' lights are too damn bright and don't belong on the road, besides the people who own them of course.
you seem to be the one with the crappy attitude, "I KNOW ALL EVEN WHEN I"VE NEVER SEEN IT." seems to me you want to be everyones problem.Nice attitude. Nobody's here saying they don't like the appearance of them, it's not a matter of personal taste. Not an opinion either, having lights that are too bright is dangerous, that is fact. You say "your problem, not mine", well it will be your problem one day when some jerk blinds you with HIS bright lights and you crash.

And no glasses needed I actually have better than 20/20 vision, but yeah LED lights strain the heck out of my eyes, they are an ungodly unnatural glow that consumes my whole field of vision (and many many many people share that opinion, that's why they're trying to pass regulations to limit how out of control lights are getting on new cars. I won't even use them in my living room or bedroom or anywhere I'm going to spend a lot of time trying to relax either, they're just uncomfortable to spend a lot of time around. I only have them in the basement or garage or places that need a lot of illumination for cheap, they save energy so I'll use them where I can but I have to draw the line in some places). Maybe YOU need your eyes checked if you actually need lights that bright to see where you're going at night. I don't remember back in the 90s anyone complaining that the high beams on their firebird were too dim and they couldn't see the road. Lights were that "dim" if not even dimmer for decades upon decades and I don't ever remember that contributing to a lot of accidents. If that were the case they would've done something about it long before now...
