Car LED back lights!!!

[robbo]

Powerbronze used to sell coloured headlight protectors, although as you say, illegal in the UK. I had an amber one for my Fireblade in the late 90’s early 2000’s, to use abroad. Sometimes there’d be as many as sixteen of us going down to the Bol d’Or, so by me riding at the back, the leader of the group knew we were all present if he could see the amber headlight. Worked a treat.

Annoyingly, apparently some cars that have that stop/ start system that cuts the engine when they're stopped at traffic lights etc, rely on the foot brake being pressed to operate!

That means that, if you do like I was taught, ie foot brake to the lights, come to a halt, handbrake, neutral, foot off brake, the system doesn't work on those cars  :rolleyes

On my Audi, when you stop, put the handbrake on and put it in neutral (or park as its an auto) the engine stays off until you push the brake again to put it back in drive. As its an auto though, i just keep my foot on the brake

I'm afraid you can!...statistics can reach any conclusion you want. 100 percent of people I asked agreed with me :evil

Seems we are not the only ones who have noticed the increasing glare from LED lights and the GOV are looking into it - no pun intended.

[agricola]

Oh dear. The Govt are looking into it. That means some committees will be formed at some point in the medium term future, debates in both houses, expert witnesses, inquiries etc etc etc. And with a view to do what. Slowly phase out the use of LEDS, legislate that headlight beams only illuminate 10 ft in front of the vehicle, sidelights only at night. Ill carry on with my night vision glasses and wait for the conclusions, but at 72, I doubt ill be around to hear them
