Worst part is a lot of those lights are factory.
yep. my amazon LEDs are dimmer than the factory LEDs on new cars.
It’s not just about brightness. How’s the cut off on your lights? I bet it scatters light way more than OEM lights without a crisp cutoff.
Just because it’s not as bright doesn’t mean you aren’t still blinding people. A dim flashlight in your eye is worse than a bright flashlight aimed below your eyes.
The cut off is GREAT, just as good as OEM.
Some people have no clue how to install them and jack up the alignment. Others just want the brightest light bar on their Jeep Wrangler. You can never win.
I know this is a shitpost, but you should know that your headlight housing can be adjusted to aim properly. Mine was just an allen key and a couple turns to get it right on each side. Now I don’t have to lift my truck to point them at your face.
It’s even more obnoxious when they are any jacked up trucks so they are right at your eye level, temporarily destroying your vision as you drive past them.
It’s even worst for pedestrians… Winter is coming and with the sun down at 5pm I’ll suffer from this again. I really want to make to huge pickups illegal
Yeah, the cheap LEDs scatter light everywhere instead of forming a nice beam pattern with a proper cutoff, which is annoying but not exceptionally bright. A lifted truck with brighter OEM LEDs (or much brighter expensive aftermarket LEDs) will sear your eyeballs like a laser.
They likely are illegal. The last I checked they don’t meet federal DoT regulations, and I know they are illegal in my state.
But, is it really illegal if no one enforces it?
