Something new for the lighting obsessed

There is now an aftermarket laser headlight replacement. Not LED, LASER.

Seems great, as long as all the oncoming vehicles that are crashing from being blinded make sure to miss you

Fine print says off road use only. I'd probably be on board, but when I read a product sheet and see multiple spelling and grammatical errors I question their attention to detail. If they're that complacent before they get my money what do I have to look forward to after they've already gotten it.

As if that stops anybody from using those stupid light bars, multiple LED work lights mounted to a grille guard, or hell, even factory fog lamps wired to be on all the time while driving down public roadways......all of which are illegal.

Laws? What laws?

I did say fine print. To be honest, I'm guilty of using my off road LEDs on some of our 2 lane highways and such. I do try to be diligent about shutting them off if I see any oncoming traffic, but ”playas ef up”. I did check Oklahoma laws first though and I am allowed 2 additional lights within a certain height and throw, outside of any towns. So I'm mostly legal, just 1 too many.

When LEDs were in their infancy the bluish ones were a giveaway of cheap quality. Now I am no expert on Laser (if indeed these are true laser) but at 6500K they are getting into the blue range. (Research shows 5000K to 5500K to be the ideal color temperature for automotive headlights).
