    It’s not LED tech that’s the issue. The real issue is they don’t sell “standard brightness” LEDs

      Nor is there much in the way of standard height or direction. As cars keep getting taller, those of us not in the Child Crusher 350 or whatever are getting blinded by tall headlights & those that don’t point down enough.

      There very much needs to be significant standardization & enforcement on off-standard kit jobs.

        Drove past a 90’s truck the other day that was lifted and had LED replacements on stock headlamps. Shit should be illegal IMO

            If it is not enforced, it’s not illegal. Kinda like the speed limit in Canada, ya can drive 20kph over the speed limit and not get pulled over. Shit people on the 401 regularly do 140 when the limit is 100 and when ya do 140 people still pass you

                Yet I’ve known people who have gotten “inspections” on vehicles that are falling apart and still passed. So that’s another moot point. Sorry man

                  Dunno what else you want lol. Go around with a baseball bat if you think nothing in the legal system works.

                  I had to replace my LEDs on my wrangler because of inspection, so it does work.

                    I want headlights that don t blind me for 5 min at a time. That’s it, our current system of being able to do what you want to your vehicle is a blessing and a curse rolled up in one.

      Exactly this I have led headlights on my car but they’re way dimmer than most of these bright ass blue LEDs people have on their trucks lmao

      Yeah but I always buy my headlights out of a ferengi’s shuttle bay that is parked behind Qark’s. Don’t have to worry about any of those pesky federation regulations.

      I do wonder what mine look like to other traffic. They are extremely bright but also have a very sharp cutoff line that’s supposed to keep them from blinding other drivers.

        Turn on your headlights. Stand in front of your car about 30 feet away. Do your eyes hurt?

        If so, fuck you.

          First, no. Secondly, fuck the manufacturer. This is no conversion, no lifted bro-dozer, just a car, a new car that should comply with all current regulations … with really bright headlights
