I did some home repairs for a Guy who offered to pay me with a couple of small LED lamps, one for each corner of the Bumper of my Wife's car, I thought it was good idea to swap the Halogens with Leds, so, I worked changing a toilet, repairing some piping fixtures, and some roof lamps...
 
 

But the guy gave me this, instead the two small ones:

He told me that he thought he had a pair, but that is a single one with 24 LED's ... and I really don't like it; the light pattern can Not be adjusted properly and those provides too much Glare that blinds incoming traffic, which is Dangerous... in the end I had to take that lamp with me, and now I am trying to sell it among the people I know...

I remember people were complaining about the Glare,


from HID lights Retrofitted on Halogen Headlamps...

...this must be even Worse. I refuse to install LED bars on my Cars.

The H.I.D.'s on my "BumbleBeast" has been working Flawlessly, they have yellowish 5000K colour and Low / High beams, whose low provides a sharp cut that avoids to Blind the incoming Traffic; I can not complain for the H.I.D.'s on my Subie, even after seven years of continous use.

 

My Subie has Headlamps with Glass Lenses that keeps being fully transparent, no matter the age; but my Wife's car, the (in)Famous "KiaStein" has Headlamps with Polycarbonate Lenses, which gets Yellowish and thus means much more Glare, so I have not installed H.I.D.'s on her car. 

 

I installed more powerful 100W / 80W Flösser H4 bulbs in her car, with ceramic sockets...

 

Kind Regards.

I really Dislike LED Bars on Road, those must be used during Offroadings only, but people here in Honduras are using such Led Bars on City and highway drivings, and their blinding glare is very Dangerous; I prefer the H.I.D.'s on my Subie, rather than any LED bar for sure.

 

Unlike LED bars, my H.I.D.'s can be adjusted to spread the light on an appropriate pattern, and also have Low / High beams.  :) 

 

Kind Regards.
