I'm pretty sure this is what it looks like if you ask a room full of boomers to dab.

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

This is probably what it would look like if my late gen X ass ever were to dab.

You are my favorite person for the day

It's not LED tech that's the issue. The real issue is they don't sell "standard brightness" LEDs

[-] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 50 points 7 months ago

Nor is there much in the way of standard height or direction. As cars keep getting taller, those of us not in the Child Crusher 350 or whatever are getting blinded by tall headlights & those that don't point down enough.

There very much needs to be significant standardization & enforcement on off-standard kit jobs.

Drove past a 90's truck the other day that was lifted and had LED replacements on stock headlamps. Shit should be illegal IMO

If it is not enforced, it's not illegal. Kinda like the speed limit in Canada, ya can drive 20kph over the speed limit and not get pulled over. Shit people on the 401 regularly do 140 when the limit is 100 and when ya do 140 people still pass you

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

You can’t pass inspection with aftermarket LEDs

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Yet I've known people who have gotten "inspections" on vehicles that are falling apart and still passed. So that's another moot point. Sorry man

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Dunno what else you want lol. Go around with a baseball bat if you think nothing in the legal system works.

I had to replace my LEDs on my wrangler because of inspection, so it does work.

I want headlights that don t blind me for 5 min at a time. That's it, our current system of being able to do what you want to your vehicle is a blessing and a curse rolled up in one.

[-] Boop2133@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Exactly this I have led headlights on my car but they're way dimmer than most of these bright ass blue LEDs people have on their trucks lmao

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Yeah but I always buy my headlights out of a ferengi's shuttle bay that is parked behind Qark's. Don't have to worry about any of those pesky federation regulations.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I do wonder what mine look like to other traffic. They are extremely bright but also have a very sharp cutoff line that’s supposed to keep them from blinding other drivers.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

The Enterprise just needs a blue light filter. And has for a while.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
