Simple reason is license plate affect their ability to capture with their ERP or red light camera while illegal lighting do not affect them as much.

 

If you are the guy sitting at LTA, which one would you clamp down first?

History has proven that they never solve the problem at the root when they could.

Dear Fellow SG Drivers,

 

We all like to dress up our cars to look the best and one of them are the headlights and bulb changes. For the past few years, those newer white lighted bulbs or headlights have been a favorite for many as it really gives the car a nice cosmetic boost. However, pls note that some of these lights are very bright and super blinding and I believe many drivers have experienced irritating blinding lights coming from behind or the other side of the road. Some of them even turned on their super blinding fog lights to boast, making their cars really monster looking.

 

I sincerely ask our fellow drivers to think about these lights and not to get them so so bright and blinding to other road users. I almost got into an accident, when a Subaru turned into my opposite lane and caused a momentarily blinding that made me turned my head away and almost knocked into another car. It is really painful to be shone at when you have to concentrate on the road. Its really not friendly to other drivers during night driving.

 

Thanks for reading :)

 

 

 

White light nicer than orange lay.. but i very zhi tong.. only change 6k crystal blue light..anway

White light or stock light is ok..as long as they dun turn on high beam/HID fog light.. i think will be fine..

Most rear view mirror have this anti glare function, for cheapo cars like my matrix, I just have to flip it up or down depend on which angle you set it to initially, for high end cars it's auto. So why the need of the anti glare shade?

 

It's hard to observe idiots that drive black car and don't turn on light with that shade.

good timing to bring up my concern. i have changed normal bulbs a few times. all cheap normal ones. after the latest change, i notice my right side so much brighter than my left. i suspect the fella who changed my bulb accidentally c--k up the height. now and then i have ppl looking at me and even let me go before shining my headlight from behind.. i duno how to balance both side lights to normal height... not possible to go back to the fella who changed my bulb cuz its damn far i only went there the last time cuz i was in the area. how to adjust and test bulb shining height?

 

It is unlikely that that the mechanic messed with the height adjustment, check the offending bulb yourself. Turn off the lights, look at the bulbs from the front of your car through the headlamp, is the offending bulb slanted? It is likely that the mechanic did not install properly, thus the offending bulb is sitting incorrectly in the hole.

and some doesn't even bother to turn on anything. I suspect they forgot due to illuminated dashboard.

 

Seriously this is a design flaw, not sure which car manufacturer came out with this. When I first saw Toyota with this type of dash I'm shaking head, most driver forgot to turn on headlight because they thought they have done so...

More than 40% of the cars have modified headlights, and many are exceed the light with ZERO care about other drivers.

 

Can LTA advice when they check? I have never seen LTA checking headlights before.
