Also if they cause a dazzle or discomfort to the on coming driver. Dazzle is actually the technical term they give as well.

Lots of cars have LED daytime running lights but there are not that many that have LED headlights. And the ones that do have to make sure they comply to the ADRs.

Audi had LED headlights in one of their models a few years ago and they had to remove them and fit HIDs so they could be sold on the Australian and US market!

Toyota hybrids have LED.

There's no dazzle.

In fact, there'd be less dazzle from these than normal headlights.

Yeah like I said, there are some cars out now that have LED headlights.

Have you had the Dazzle test done as described in ADR 46/00????

Obviously I haven't.

The amazing thing about these lights is there's no scatter. A clear cut off line of light. I have no idea how that works. Same as Xenon, actually.

They must have an aiming device in them similar to the Xenons. How many Lumen do they output????
