Which way?

>car on the left coming towards me
>car on the right coming towards me
I go back the way I came because apparently I'm driving the wrong way down a one way road.

I tried LEDs in my car and bike but switched back, I prefer the yellow/orange light of the stock globes and I felt like I could see better even though there was less light. It was softer and easier on the eyes.

if you have sealed beams holley retrobrights are available in yellow. super expensive though.

>>28714859
Halogens are vastly more visually pleasant from both inside and outside the car
The road should be bathed in a soft warm glow, not blasted with neon blue industrial-strength floodlights until it looks like noon at the equator
>>
>>28714991
led's should be fog lamps and halogens as the main lamps
>>
>>28714994
Bright white light sucks shit for fog lamps.
>>
Closest to 5k.
Accept nothing else, all outputs being the same.
Most efficient temperature to reflect the greatest band of wavelengths for our eyeballz to process. Dumb cunts with 10k+ lights illuminating only white objects deserve the rope.
>>
yellow lights for foggy and rainy situation, other than that, bright white all the way
>>
amber lamps
>>
>>28714991
The way I see it, if you need more light than what halogens can provide, maybe you shouldn't be driving at night. In fact I'd say the vast majority of people currently on the roads, probably shouldn't be.
>>
>>28714859
I need my temu LEDs bro, car has to have them stock and they have to be blue
>>
White/blue LEDs are fine as long as they're projected correctly, which most Amazon LED halogen replacements are not. LED headlights are not a problem, but poor people are.
>>
The weird thing is that LED can have softer warmer colors but for some reason they all opt for sterile white blue in cars. Why is this?
>>
>>28715211
it’s le futuristic and shit… warm glow is like so 90s or something
>>
Not even 10 years ago I used to love night driving and sometimes would just go on a drive. Now I try to avoid it. My country is worse than most because nogs dont know about dimmed lights. They just run everything they have all the fucking time
>>
>>28714859
unironically?
dynamic led matrix headlights are fuckin amazing.
unfortunately the last time I checked they're not legal in the USA.
however anyone can still go buy 2 megalumen 6500k replacements from temu with forward facing led's and no cutoff zone and glare the fuck out of the world.
i generally prefer a yellower light but something at 5000k with good cri isnt bad.

Well, that and a better mix of phosphors (the yellow crap on top of the LED element) might cost something and make the light less efficient.

The LED element in these lights naturally produces an eye-searing deep blue that's not too far from UV light. The human retina can sense it, but most eyes struggle to focus on light like that, which is why it hurts the eyes so much and is restricted in some places, e.g. standards for office computer monitors.
That phosphor stuff turns some of the blue light into lower-energy light like yellowish orange. When the blue is roughly balanced with warmer colors from that, the light looks "white", although it may not have a very natural distribution of wavelengths.

Some professional lights for photography and stuff do have a very carefully considered mix of phosphors to produce light that's basically natural looking. Lights that just focus on spitting out as many photons as possible as cheaply as possible do not. Some of the worse ones just leak out most of the blue eyerape rays.

If you've ever bought drop in LED headlight bulbs from amazon then I'll kill you
