To replace the headlamp ??

Been a few topic on the issue,, biggest problem, to be legal, they must self level, and have a pressure wash system, so for me, not worth the effort,, fit a pair of Xenons drive lamps !! California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

That'll change soon too. I think as LEDs get brighter this requriement will be added. Craig Rogers

Headlamp washing and levelling systems are mandatory for all vehicles fitted with LED headlamp
systems, although these are not yet widely used and only tend to be optional fitment on some
executive marques. However, as LED systems improve and because they can be arranged in
almost any design configuration, they are sure to become more common.
Where headlamp levelling or cleaning devices are missing or defective, but there is doubt as to
whether they are required, the benefit of the doubt should be given and an advisory notice issued.

I find led lights horribly irritating, they seem to flicker and jump around, I have done some research and it may be due to my being colour blind and the pure single wavelength light produced. There is lots of debate in the sailing fraternity regarding led nav lights as they give a false location reference when scanning horizon, the CAA FAA will not permit them on aircraft. Unfortunately the motor industry is driven by manufacturers who consider image over functionality.

Daylight running lights are not a problem as these do not act as the visual reference, because the brain gets its reference from the whole vehicle not just the spots of light. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

Im sure the EASA will probably allow LED lights in the future, they had a similar hard lined stance on GPS in the early days.

Im not sure about the effects of colour blindness - i know my class one medicals check for colour blindness - i have always imagined it would stop you being a pilot if you were - im not so dont have that problem. Mike
