The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review

Lasers, cheap Chinese lighting. What could possibly go wrong?

 

I look at myself as being somewhere between cynical and annoyingly realistic.

 

I'd comment on this article but I can't because there's no comment section.

Well that is a complete load of BS thinly attempting to masquerade as an informative article while actually being an obvious means for click-through ad revenue on garbage products.

 

I like that Nilight spot driving fog, and the little single led bolts

Sadly it's shit like that which gets published and it's complete BS and then when people take their car to a shop and they tell them no it's actually xyz price and this is why they think their being lied to by the tech. It's the same crap with those scanners that are advertised as "telling you what needs repaired" based off the code they scanned. Such crap.

 

What ever happened to science? (For those of you that have never heard of it, it was taught in school many years ago.) That article is 100% pure marketing hype with zero science to back up any of the claims. For instance, note that there are exactly zero pics of beam patterns and / or head to head comparisons. Words completely fail me!

 

• They look cool. While they're intended to be used in adverse weather conditions, many drivers install them because it upgrades the look of their vehicles. If you like modifying your ride, this is one way to do it.

 

“Cool light tends to be just the right choice for foggy weather. However, amber or yellow color temperature can be less harsh on your eyes.”

Everything about these two sentences.

 

I found a link to contact the editorial team within the article and sent them an email. Maybe they'll follow up.

 

Nice. Seems doubtful, but would be interesting if they did.

 

WOW, that was a painful read. I also sent a reply but doubtful they will respond or change the article since they likely get kick backs from sales linked to the article.

 

Wow that is 100% written so you lick links and they get $$

That being said.... I have used a Nilight bar for a reverse light on my RV for years. Its held up amazingly well

 

Maybe they should read this article instead:
