Post by grr442 »

I was driving home a few nights ago,checked my mirror and about half a mile behind me a space ship is coming in to land,i have never seen lights so bright,it had to be the "Enterprise"!! But no,as it got closer it was three lights on a bike i guessed GS and was proved right when it glided past,,,,,what did it use for bulbs?? They can't have been halogen? What the hell were they? It"s been bugging me for days can anyone shed any "light" on it please

The newer GS are all LED iirc. But plenty of bikes with incorrectly aligned HID's.
Mind I was making up a look for a set of cheap x4 led spots and happened to look into them as setting up the dimmer switch. Jeez nearly burnt my eye balls out. So could just as easily be a set of cheap led spots as running lights which are set to high.
Back of the eye was still aching today doh!

The best time to really dazzle the approaching vehicle is when your about to pass each other a couple of metres apart at a closing speed of 120+
Apparently!
Not convinced though.
