3rd Gen Aftermarket LED Headlamps - Recommendations, Rants, Experience, Etc.

Let me see if I can explain this in a way that you can understand. I retired as the owner of a consulting firm specialized in data Communications and Telecommunications. I am intimately familiar with laws and regulations of the FCC and just like your LED headlight issue, there are countless FCC laws and regulations still on the books which mean absolutely nothing to anyone with any common sense. During my career I can't think of a single time when I had to bully someone or even advise someone under legal consideration about some of these laws.

The only point I have ever tried to make to you is that you are getting yourself all a twitter over something that means absolutely nothing. If your headlights blind other people fix them! Otherwise this is a moot point!

 

another comment without accountability. Just name calling. Lol

 

This may be a good time to recall one of the most scientifically complete analyses in TW of "effective distance of different types of bulbs", "actual distribution of the light" ... post #1 of this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/

Lumen meters, actual distances from walls, ...

 

I always assume that someone already linked that thread whenever the discussion is as far along as this one is, and that whomever feels ganged up on/justified/is doubling down didn’t read it due to the simply massive amount of posts and information in it.
I think it would be really beneficial if there were a condensed version, something like “PNP LEDs 101”
