    The Cali Raised units use Osram D5 LED sets. Maybe if you search YouTube using the "osram d5" term you can find something that may fit your bill. But no matter what, all automatic cameras that handle their own exposure will compensate for the heavily increased brightness in the environment from the LEDs and will seriously skew the resulting image toward being darker than what the human eye would see if you were there. Good luck...

    This one is of the ONX6 Race Edition going down the road through Arizona in the middle of the night. Sorry for the blur I will post new ones in the morning. Yes those are signs in the distance. 20161029_211602.jpg

    Really couldn't find any wooded area to take a good picture so took the darkest exit and took the pics there. There is a rolling picture of the Ditch lights (fog pattern) so you can see how far over they light.

    I love it. If I had to complain about anything it would be the glare from the hood, but that's not the light bars fault. Other than that I can't think of any other complaint. It has a slight wind noise kind of similar to driving your truck on a windy day...if I had to describe it I would say it was a woosh sound as it breaks the wind. The sound is really easily drowned out with the radio on. You have to drive with absolutely no other sound to hear it. Now I can't hear it at all over my tires hum lol.

    Ahh OK. I was looking to compare Rigid with CaliRaised... but thanks. It is another data point and I'm sure others will want to see it.
