Awesome another driver that gives zero fucks about people driving to towards them. Here's to head on collisions.

Because these will glare any worse than an LED bar in a bumper? It's a clear lense that won't diffuse light and if it does it will be minimal it's not like he just slapped LED bulbs in the socket

Yeah but typically, people with led bars turn them off for on coming traffic/only use them on back roads.

Most wire them up to light up with their highbeams, so turn the highbeams off and the lightbar turns off.

Any use of a light bar on the streets is stupid. I have have never had the need for anything more than the factory highbeams on roads. I do not live in the city either.

You would get more out of an led that had optics that are worth a damn. Those optics are good for 30-40 feet if that. And a majority of the light is unusable and doesn't illuminate what you need any way

just like 90% of the people on this forum with hids and led bars. :crazy:

Leds glare just as badly as hids head on.
honesly these do not. They almost as bright as my 8000k hids were and i actually adjusted the led to point down towards the road instead of straight out just so the glare isn't as bad. You would have to be sitting on the ground or lower to get blinded by these.

They put out just as much light as my hids did.

Here's the problem imo
wats wrong with black headlights. i was gonna go with stock cleared headlights but I'm not brave enough to chop into those.

also gotta get rid of the 8000k hids in my lows and get some 6000ks to match my fogs and switchbacks.
