Sorry for the OT...

IMHO, tint on the windshield should only be allowed on the top 5 inches.

If the sun is too bright, wear polarized sunglasses. If the sun makes the interior of your parked car hot, use a dashboard sunshade.

I realize that some put windshield tint for privacy. But then, do so at your own risk and don't compensate by dazzling everybody else with non-road-legal headlight bulb upgrades.

Many sites point out that the LTO, in principle, allows a VLT (visible light transmission) down to 30%.... whether or not this is implemented is besides the point. That's just simply too dark. If I were to be generous, I think at worst, the windshield should not be darker than 80% VLT, just enough for UV protection. The front side windows can be no lower than 50% while all rear windows can remain unregulated. My 2c.

I'm currently using a 5000K H11 LED and I had to adjust/lower my beam focus further dahil parang nakakasilaw sa oncoming traffic. Even though I had it aligned right after installing. Ang prob kasi parang sabog yong ilaw, di katulad nung stock halogen na klarong2x ang top cut-off.

I already ordered an Osram halogen para di nakaka abala sa kasalubong

but the resulting risk is not on them.
it's on us, the oncoming traffic!
tayo ang nasisilaw sa kanilang LED upgrade at hindi si the tinted one.
tayo rin ang mababangga, dahil hindi tayo nakita.

government should put its foot down:
no to front full windshield tint!
LED upgrade without reflector upgrade is dangerous!
no ifs, no buts.

sabog talaga.
if one does not use the appropriate reflector system,
LED causes 40 % increased glare to oncoming traffic.

In other words... nag tint ka sa harap? Tiisin mo sa gabi.

Hi. I recently upgraded my headlight to Vland. Halogen pa ung default nya so hindi ganun kalakas ilaw. Any recommended LED replacement especially sa mga Vland users din? Also, parang hindi din maganda buga nya feeling ko masisilaw kasalubong ko. I hope someone can share their experience kung pano walkaround nito. I wasn't really able to test sa shop kasi maliwanag pa nung pina-install ko. TIA

Simplest and best solution (IMHO) is to remove the front tint.

alas,
"it is, perhaps, the most difficult to do, for some car owners."
heh heh.

There you go. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

heh heh!

"... magpa-tint nga..."

after the tint,
"ang dilim naman! magpa-LED upgrade nga..."

in my experience,
a significant number of LED headlights cause uncomfortable and potentially dangerous glare to oncoming me.

Nyak nyak. Typical. Hehehe

Things seem blown out of proportion. For the record, I'm not complaining about my ilaw dahil madilim ang tint. The tint has been there since day 1 (for almost 10 YEARS) ng car pinapalitan ko lang kasi deteriorated na. Ang complain ko lang is ung nilagay ng shop na sa tingin ko ung pinakamababang klaseng halogen na yata just to save him some bucks. So, I'm asking everyone for a good brand ng LED to improve the quality ng ilaw. And guys please take note this is a PROJECTOR and NOT just the stock headlight. So, installing LED shouldn't be a problem. Also, I tried na din palitan ng LED ang stock headlight years ago but instantly removed kasi sabog talaga mas maganda prin stock halogen. Now, I'm also asking specifically the ones using Vland kung paano proper adjustment. I know may iniikot sa likod nya but I'm hesitant that I may rather mess up.

But I appreciate your opinions guys. They are significant but not the precise answer to my query. Thank you.

Na try ko na Led Light Brand:

1. GPNE - Pricey pero sulit na, may liwanag talaga buhay dito, 3 years napundi but may replacement naman (5 years warranty)
2. ORIS - Halos same lang ng buga ng ilaw sa GPNE pero mas less ang price
3. Novsight - ok na din pero malayo ang diff dun sa 1 and 2

For LEDs on reflectors, may mga sample images ng ORION or FB ads siguro yon, maganda ang cut-out. But I'm not sure kung gimik lng din. I think halogen pa rin kasi ang swak sa reflectors.

Eto pa pala na try ko din Orion para sa foglight, ok naman din to orion but if naka gamt ka na ng GPNE or Oris, medyo mahihinaan ka sa orion

Talked to a few retrofitters pala last year. Yung VLAND na headlights daw talaga pangit ang buga ng ilaw. Its in the design daw ng projector. it is a halogen projector afterall. i think garyQ said something around those lines din.

Which reminds me, my cousin had those vland type headlights in his vios before. Used it for about a month before selling it and went back to standard headlights and G projectors.

Kung alignment talaga ang issue, find a white wall then check.

At HID Retrofit in Ortigas ako nagpa adjust nang aim for our vehicles a few times na, may measurement in increments yung wall nila so sakto lagi yung alignment. Likely may available din silang bulbs for your headlight assembly.

For the 2KD, nag upgrade ako to 100/90W halogens with a Narva harness kit, ako lang nagkabit. Nawala nga lang sa alignment kaya pina adjust ko sa shop above. Still on stock reflectors.

Malayo pa din ang 100/90Ws on lumens output versus plug-and-pray LEDs/HIDs on reflectors - pero hindi siya sabog, better in bad weather for me, and hindi gaano nakaka eye strain

have to make sure that the reflectors used are in agreement with the bulbs used.
iba ang reflector nang LED sa reflector nang filamented.
dapat ay sitahin ang hindi complimentary, dahil nakakasilaw...

OT.
ang dapat sitahin, in dr. d's opinion,
blacked tail/break lights (almost non-functional in broad daylight!),
blinking break lights (kung hindi LED?) ,
glaring headlights at night,
full-tint front windshield,
using foglights at night (in ncr, at least),
glaring bumper lights! these are sometimes more glaring than the car's factory headlights!
non-use of car lights at night.

[oj88]

For those with 2KD and A/T, how many km before you changed the following:

1. Tires
2. Front brake pads
3. Rear brake shoes

Nasisilaw din ako don sa mga while led text na nasa likod ng vehicle na pumupula pag nag brake.. "Motero" "Everest" etc...

Sama mo pa yung mga naka-LED bar! Tapos uso ngayon sa mga nakamotor yung yung parang projector ang itsura na ilaw na hindi naman maayos ang tutok. Mga kasalubong ang iniilawan.

1. Tires
2. Front brake pads
3. Rear brake shoes

1. Replaced at 40K, same Aspec A300s. Rotated every 10K.
2. Every 30K, Bendix at first pero bumalik sa OEM pads - mas tahimik.
3. Not yet for replacement. Linis lang and lubricate

nasilaw ako doon sa isa. "fortuner" in LED pag nag-break siya.

many of these LED-ized motorsiklos and scooters, have very glaring headlights at night.
i think, their objective is to brighten their fronts, nevair mind that they are blinding the oncoming traffic.

motorcycles that sport automobile-type businas.
it confuses me...
