LED vs Halogen vs HID in Headlights with Reflectors

[manager]

that depends.
are we behind it, or are we in front of it?
heh heh.

all lights aimed properly as I've been on the receiving end of bad headlight setups on suburban roads. I wish more people would be conscious of this.

glad to hear it.

personally,
it would seem,
many LED conversions left the reflector un-converted.
"they brightened their outlook in life, even as they blinded us with their radiance.."

also,
bumper lights are, many times, even more glaring than the headlights.
i suspect, some car owners do not know this.

cannot understand why on ordinary good weather nights, drivers turn on their fog lights or even use it as park lights or even using it as their headlights instead while the HL are turned off

if i have to guess,
in many cases,
as in many conditions and situations,
"they are not aware".

Dark windshield tints

Dark windshield tints

some folks do not understand that there is no such thing as "one way tint".
if the tint hinders outsiders from seeing what's inside the car,
that same tint also hinders the driver inside the car from seeing what's outside.

in my opinion,
authority should step in and ban outright, full front windshield tint.

I wonder why they can't apply same technology they use on transition lens. It gets dark when hit by sunlight, so it still has privacy. It gets clear at night, you will be able to see the road better but still has privacy.

Delikado for a single lady driver to traverse a unlit and not so populated road with a clear windshield tint. Criminals would recognize them as an easy target.

I beg to disagree at this point that they are not aware. They are aware that their fog lights are on but for what reason they need to put it on, only they can answer. Or maybe they are not aware when they can and should turn on their foglights, can be the reason, thus ignorance sets in.

Good point you have on applying the technology of transition lenses to automotive tint. And likewise agree on the security it also gives to us especially to our loved ones on this point.
I just hope that drivers are considerate to other drivers on how to use their lights to avoid accidents.

Authorities should really do their job, but do they? If we will wait for them including our legislators, we are only hoping agaist hope, and surely we are hoping for the impossible, this is reality here in RP and sad.
