    UPDATE: I have tested this setup in provincial roads (asphalted or not, with or without rain) and sadly the white/bluish tint of the 6000K GPNE led (5800lumens daw) is no good under such conditions. Yung dark/asphalted areas looked black, and the reflection ng white led light sa objects in front of the car was straining my eyes.

    I already have a dual-color Cobra (5400lumens daw) led for fog-lights and the yellow/3000K one helped but not that much. I still use the stock high-beam btw.

    Long-term solution is to replace the 6000K with 4300K all-weather. I’m still waiting for stocks to arrive. [emoji74]

    Short-term solution (which I’m loving it’s “hackish” and practical nature):
    I replaced the left headlight with Osram Night Breaker Unlimited and kept the GPNE 6000K led in the right headlight. It’s working good so far even when it rains and in asphalted roads. I’m also “happy” that my Wildtrak is not “offending” incoming drivers coz the NB color temp is “warm” to their eyes (compared to led). And I still see very good at the right side of the road btw.[emoji74][emoji120]

    Notice in the pic that the right side of the taxi (lighted by gpne led) has more “glare” reflection than the left side with the NB bulb light. [emoji74]

    Btw, I am keeping the GPNE led lights on my low beams (will replace with gpne 4300K lang) combo with NB sa left. Ang ganda ng buga sa gilid as compared to the NB (see taxi pic above). Kaya ilawan 4-lanes without fog lights pa yan. [emoji74][emoji106]

    A higher kelvin means it would be whiter though dimmer.

    whypo?
    what's wrong with your current lights?

    in the un-likely event that your front windshield is tinted,
    removing the tint may enable you to re-think your yen for LEDs.

    My cousins have installed Novsight. Madami sa lazada [emoji108] look for the type with at least 10,000 lumens. Those are really bright.

    I suggest for those planning to get LED lights, do not go for white or super white headlights, seguro magand tignan but if the reason for getting one is because of the installed tint, then first option is to remove the tint or should be a tint with at least 35 VTL.

    My car has a 20 VTL all around and when it is nighttime, meron talagang issue sa visibility windshield and if white yung led mo, para syang "wala" light. As was explained to me, the brightness of the white LED blends with the surrounding lights so para syang "wala." although if you are outside your vehicle, maliwanag sya....

    To solve my visibility issue, I installed a yellowish or all weather Led foglight and I got it from LEDWORKS (H11 X9) and I am very satisfied. I asked the installer to see to it na pointed downward yung foglight....

    Yes a higher rating kelvin say 6000, means it’s cool white but dimmer. For me, the 3900 to 4000K range is ideal. More on the yellowish white hue.

    Actually ito din ang problem ko, nagpatint ako ng medium black and pinalitan ko ng LED super white sa headlight at sa foglights. Problem now is if nasa loob ako ng car kapag gabi, parang wala akong headlight na nakabukas as in super dark talaga, pero kapag tingnan ko sya outside ang liwanag naman ng ilaw. Also yun nakabit sa akin ng LED sa headlight kahit mag low ako or high, parang walang changes, hindi tulad dati sa halogen na kapag nag hi ako mas malayo ang bato ng ilaw.

    Can anybody suggest me what should I change?

    option 1: change windshield tint to ceramic medium black (sabi nila mas maganda daw visibility from inside but not compromising the privacy from outside (3500 daw if windshield lng)
    option 2: I will change my headlight to LED all weather (perhaps 4300k) , i hope mas may makikita ako despite the medium black tint in the windshiled. Also, is this color temperature legal for LEDs? (price range 3000-5500 pesos depends on brand)
    option 3: I will install foglight na all weather ang color temperature that can be set to low and high, this way the color will blend with my headlight, hoping it will help my visibility. (2-3k if ordinary but not sure if kaya ng hi and low beam, may natanong ako na projector krazy mods, mga around 11k plus daw, pricey but kaya daw ng hi and low beam and super lakas daw ng buga)

    P.S. : I prefer medium black tint kasi I feel safer at night when driving alone. I don't have any problems sa side, more of sa windshield lng.

    Any suggestions and input is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
