Yellow AKA “Amber” is legal. Lights have to be white or amber. So im sticking with the “Amber” bulbs as they make the street lines glow at night.
they also make shit impossible to see in the rain or snow, may as well not have lights.
PICS
There’s different ways of achieving yellow light.
Some people swear by yellow fogs and these people claim they actually tend to reduce glare in rainy or snowy conditions. But only if they are high quality and produce a selective yellow light (it’s white light with the blue wavelength taken out). Studies done recently have shown that the effectiveness of yellow light in fog/rain/snow isn’t as high as previously thought.
HOWEVER
Cheap unbranded mass-produced bulbs use something called a dicrhoic interference coating which only produces yellow straight ahead. The rest of the beam is spread out and shines blue/purple at other angles (horizontally and vertically). Blue light has a short wavelength and this results in stupidly high glare. Guess where pedestrians, cyclists, and oncoming traffic tend to be… it’s not straight ahead. Those people will see a huge glare of blurry, distracting light.
I could start talking about Rayleigh scattering and the short wavelength-induced glare of blue-colored light blah blah blah… but what’s the point.
Fools like enzos_lil_schumi will slap on the cheapest AZN SUPER WHITER THAN WHITE HID $20 bulbs in custom enclosures without testing beam pattern cutoff, surrounding colour, glare…
I’d be surprised if he bothered to properly aim his lights… if that’s even possible with his super custom setup.
I hate people.
/rant
thats exactly why i spent so much on my setup
they are actual DRIVING lights.
FIA and DOT approved
full adjustable for aiming.
Of course i can properly angle my lights. I can angle the housing as well as the foglights inside the housing as most fogs u can angle up and down. U can also angle side to side. Dont cut up my sh!t. Wait until i get my computer back and i can post up pics. And this glare bs? their made for a car as their foglights and around the glass part of the projector their is a DOT approval. Everyone who has seen my one completed light on teh car says its sexy. So what are you jelous? Glad you hate me spd dmn??
If it works, if its aimed properly and DOT approved its fine… wouldnt mind seeing how it looks like when its all done enzo… might just need to buy those off you… lol haha
