Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 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...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 So, I took the Family to another weekend trip, to a small Mountain Village, The full story and photos are ~► Here, but lI'll share some on this post. I was at a Hilltop when I spotted this... ...first gen Kia Sephia (a Korean Ford Escort), I used my Camera's Zoom to see its Enormous... ...LED light bars ... ... so, I walked down to take a Closer photo, see: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 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.

subaruman5 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I definently agree. L.E.D bars are dangerous. I have them on the overheads of my Loyale and am looking forward to using them offroad while it is snowing. It creates a magical appearance with the snow flakes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
