Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It's not like HID's aren't bright enough, and can you imagine how bad these will be wrongly installed

What happens with each light is that three blue lasers positioned at the rear of the assembly fire onto a set of mirrors closer to the front. Those mirrors focus the laser energy into a lens filled with yellow phosphorus. The yellow phosphorus, when excited by the blue laser, emits an intense white light. That white light shines backward, onto a reflector. The reflector then bounces the more diffused white light forward, shining it out of the front of the headlight casing as a beam that is powerful, yet still able to be gazed upon.

sweet baby jesus...

Gosh, can't wait to replace one of those after hitting a roo...

'yes, sir that will be $4500 and a 6 month wait until they make a right hand drive one...'

But luckily the Chinese will make a copy in about 2 months...

Some of the Lexus headlights are already $7000 each so I'm guessing these will be a heap more. lol

You see a lot of concepts that never get off the ground though.

One of the Audi's new concepts are the whole tailgate is a full LED screen with all sorts of crap going on.

Most of that is Toyotas overinflated pricing.

On the new E series Mercs (and higher models) the headlights are LED, on the one (high) setting.
Cameras projecting forward (located either side of the rear vision mirror) sense oncoming vehicles and other objects, as well as those travelling in front of the vehicle in the same direction, and operate a shutter system to effectively shade or cast a shadow across part of the forward light pattern.

Had a dealer with a Lenser torch show me how it worked. Impressive.

Volvo are developing a headlight that makes driving in rain like drive on a clear night.
The light blocks the light where the raindrops are and it happens so quick that the human eye can't pick it up.
From the demo's I've seen, bloody impressive

They are so yesterday , that yesterday I actually threw my old HID's in the Bin

I had converted a set of IPFs and while ok, they suffered from misalignment, shakes and crappy ballasts that kept shorting or just dying.

So on a bit of a recommendation off another forum I picked up a set of these

One Spot / One Flood - Awesome units Very Impressive

If you are considering HID's then these are definitely worth considering

Do they look as ugly in real life as in the pic?

Absolutely

Hehehe, its the one thing that puts me off those round ones. Although those ones do have a nicer body than most.

They are kinda of like ya mates kid sister , gets better the longer you look at em

There is an awful lot of trucks in Central Qld running 7 inch LED headlights, much like the pic above of the spotlight. Fairly impressive light output.

if you head down to your local Isuzu dealer you can get you hands on a set of these

Im told they are around the $700 per set here

They are rather a neat set up when you pick them up and have a good look at them and how they are configured

But you can also get them from the US http://www.quadratec.com/products/97009_8000.htm with postage

Led is very over rated for spot and headlights. Those Truck lights are crap compared to projector HID and I'm yet to see a Led spot light that comes close to a decent HID not ebay carp. I've swapped a few guys over who where running the Truck lights. There next to useless in rain or fog (because there to blue) and high beam is not that good on a good night. There's a reason those Truck lights are cheaper in the US as there US cut off. If you ran them over here it would be blinding everyone on the road just like you have high beams on. It's all about supply and demand you will pay more for the RHD as there main sales are LHD versions.

Don't get me wrong I love Led light bars but for headlights or spotlights HID is still a long way ahead. That is why guys in the US are already converting the factory LED headlights back to projector HID or using models from older cars. I think you will see lighting technology skip LED very soon and go straight to Laser or similar to what Volvo and Audi are doing.

If anyone here wants to put them money where there mouth is and compare there LEDs headlights to my HIDs and put a few cases of beer on the line I'm happy to do so.

low beams only. Perfect cut off so no blinding anyone.


High beam no spotties or lightbar.
