My neighbor's kid is very proud of the 100 watt "15000K" HIDs he put in his beater F250. They're not bluish, they're pure purple. He was bragging about how he got them from e-bay for $25 and claimed they snapped right in.
Seething contempt for the ignorance, arrogance, and sheer narcissism of humanity.....rising.
I hope LEOs start enforcing vehicle lighting laws. First on the chopping blocks would be the blue/purple light queens.
Shame that Auto manufacturers stock headlights are so poor, but a bigger shame that drop in HID and LED replacements are available that allow the placebo effect to allow the purchaser of such light toys think they can actually see better, or that whiter light is somehow brighter.
How many people will ever spend money on something, spend time installing it, and not allow their brains to perceive an improvement?
Humans are so poor at determining how well they can see.
Next time yoy are on an empty street, back away from a sewer hole cover until it is just barely visible in your low beams, then stop. Then turn on your fog lights, and magically it disappears.
