Stedi Type X driving LED:

Foreground is very bright, too bright IMO for use on road at full highway speeds. Retro-reflective signs in the video are blindingly bright.

i don't like them......actually i'm not a big LED advocate........quality halogen is my thing.

if i was inclined toward an LED driving light, it would be one of these:

music sucks, but the light is pretty good for a mini

And just how do you think my 2 brain cells feel? This morning they weren't talking to each other because last night they had another fight.

I know what ya' mean. If I put my brain on the sharp edge of a razorblade it would look like a BB going down a 6 lane highway.

yes you did but you didn't say you weren't going to be posting!
speaking of fogs: i bought one of those laser beam things. sitting on the shelf now. just not enough fog here. i like the idea of 2 rear fogs.

i did post whilst i was away, that's where all those driving videos came from....

glad the job is cool.....makes for a better environment. i go back to work March first. three months mending from these new nuts and bolts in my back is plenty......my customers miss me too, someone has to know what they're doing there......and it's actually me, LOL

about the rear fog light(s). after some reading and pondering i'm of the mindset that one light on the left side would be the best.....i think two would give people the idea you are putting on the brakes nd this could cause a problem....especially for peope that are not very confident driving in inclement conditions.....the single oe gives visibility while still allowing you to use the brakes lights and they would appear "normal" from the perspective of someone behind you.....that's my take anyway.....and is ht i'll be doing.

really i like the 100W halogen actually, seems the most consistant to me...though not the brightest....but the LED does indeed give the broadest source of light.....the HID's gives a hot spot i can't stand.....i find it very distracting and it screws with my vision.....
