Dnk Posted Friday at 01:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:07 PM (edited) Time to open the can of worms. What's peoples thoughts on how much some of these LED headlights are in my opinion downright dangerous Are they just not correctly adjusted or simply that's how they are. I detest driving at night now as some are just beyond bright and leave you blinded be it from a car behind or coming toward you Edited Friday at 01:14 PM by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted Friday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:26 PM They just don’t focus light in projector lens set ups or light assemblies not designed for led . The LS 600 has LED headlights and they are great - but they are motorised in an array and each headlight cost £5000 . in fog lights they cause more vision problems than they improve ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only on about modern cars that come with LED's not anyone replacing halogens for LED's. Quite a lot are fine on various makes and models but some as I said are ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted Friday at 07:21 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:21 PM Depends what you're driving, it's not so bad in my 4x4 but in the Supra they're ridiculous and even blind me through the wing mirrors. I think they're not designed with low cars in mind. Teslas have to be the worst for it. Personally I think the old yellow halogens were just fine, I reckon visibility was actually better back then because everyone was on a level playing field and you weren't being blinded by oncoming cars.

Dnk Posted Saturday at 08:42 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 08:42 AM (edited) In the UK, new car headlights must have an approval mark, such as a European E mark or a British Standards mark. They must also be white or yellow, and bright enough to see about 100 meters ahead without blinding other drivers. How did they not flag up as being unfit for road use ? Totally wrong if you happen to drive a normal sized car that your blinded on a regular basis Edited Saturday at 08:45 AM by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
