Re: the newest thing NOT HID / but LED
Quote:
the only way they are LEGAL is if they where DOT approved, due to cost get get something made DOT legal. If its never challenged by local authorities then people will keep buying and selling them, hence what we do. Since we dont sell the colorful ones ie 8k or or higher, we have never put our customers at risk of getting a ticket or fine in 13+ yrs, me personally or our customers. The HOUSING as you put it, has zero to do with it. Dont try to hijack my thread if you dont know what you are talking about . The simple problem with any forum out there.

Even if these PnP companies had deep pockets and were willing to go through the DOT certification process, they would fail. Not because they didn't have the money to "pay" for a certification, but because the PHYSICS behind it are all screwed up. Quote:
Also, police are more interested in doing actual police work vs. chasing around some kid in a civic for installing illegal HIDs in his first car... The color has nothing to do with the legality or safety of the HID kit, I'll say it again, IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE PHYSICAL GEOMETRY OF THE BULB AND THE HOUSING. Quote:
Do us all a favor, study up and stop embarrassing yourself by making sophomoric posts about topics you don't understand. This is a great source that accurately explains the problem with PnP HID/LED kits. Quote:

Re: the newest thing NOT HID / but LED
Because of the direction this thread has taken in the past 36 hours, it is on the definite fast-track to being locked and deleted. This is considered a verbal warning.
"Flames and baiting members are not acceptable. Posts like these will be deleted and offenders will be warned." "The SVX World Network is a 'community. As in all communities, there will be disagreements. However, if we are to peacefully coexist, we ask that disagreements be either worked out in a civil manner, ormembers who disagree, agree to disagree. This community” is unlike any other, in that the members seem to be able to get along without bravado and a need for “one-upsmanship.” .

Re: the newest thing NOT HID / but LED
LED may be the way of the future, but I have not been impressed with anything I have seen so far, even on the newest cars The US has very minimum standards for lighting compared to the rest of the world. When I see more of something like what Audi produces, then I will really be impressed.
"Audi is revealing the headlights of its new R8 as the first of a number of technology highlights of the top sports car. The R8 uses LED headlights which can be supplemented by a laser high‑beam lighting module as an option. The new R8 will set new standards among high‑performance sports cars – including in its lighting technology. As an option, the latest car development by Audi can be equipped with a laser spot as the high‑beam headlight. The special appeal of laser lighting is that it uses high‑intensity laser diodes, which generate a lot of light energy from a very small component. Compared to LED high‑beam headlights, laser high‑beams attain nearly twice the lighting range. Each headlight contains one laser module that operates with four high‑intensity laser diodes. This module bundles the four intense blue‑light laser beams. Then a phosphor converter transforms the blue light into pure white light. An identifying characteristic of the laser headlights is their blue light signature. Standard equipment in the new R8 includes an LED headlight system. All lighting functions are produced with 37 LEDs per headlight. The laser spot for the high‑beam light made its debut in the summer of 2014 in the Audi R8" .

Re: the newest thing NOT HID / but LED
The only LEDs on my polo are in the center grille. During the day they function as a legal DRL. At night they further aid in the visibility to be seen. Maryland does not consider it an actual "light", so at night it does not violate the 4-light rule (low and high beams or low and fogs) The state police don't even seem to mind that I have no amber running lights. They only come on as turn signals. ON-OFF-ON-OFF seems to be more noticeable then DIM-BRIGHT-DIM-BRIGHT And since opinions matter here, I think Daniel Stern is not always the lighting guru that many think he is. Daniel Stern, like Howard Stern, is someone I find entertaining, sometimes enlightening and often times obnoxious. Both may raise valid points and may have some element of truth in what they say. But I don't take everything they say all that seriously. When you spend time in Europe, you will see just how pathetic the U.S. lighting laws are, especially when it comes to things like glare. I have driven SVX's under the ECE standard and it is a world of difference. Every country in the world has this superior standard, except for the US, Canada and Mexico. http://www.motivemag.com/pub/feature...n_Lights.shtml Just my opinion. .
