SGP.

 

i very zhi tong one, never road hog and always give way to car catching up from behind me.

Hmmm... but still, many drive without checking their rear! Seriously! Or maybe its outright selfish.

Sadz... Sg law wont catch road hogger, but most likely to catch the ones trying to over take road hoggers!

At the same power, halogen is the least brightness compare to HID and LED

The main function of headlights on most modern cars are not to light up the entire space in front of you. It is just there to be bright enough, but not glaring, for awareness. The light is to allow others, especially those blur blur pedestrians to know your car is coming, so that they can stop using their mobile phone while crossing the road.

On unlit roads, just go slow.

That's the whole idea.

If you look at these new Audi with LED head lights, do you really think they can fill up the area in front of their car too ? 

 

And by the way, the whiter the lights are , the dimmer it seems to be.

It's the eye's color response, eye response best in the Yellow zone, so with yellowish light being the best responsive for human eyes. 

Don't go white or bluish, go slightly golden / yellowish bulbs.

These modern white LED lights are a curse to the automotive industries because they are deviating away from human's best, they eyes.

If you ask me, I would honestly tell you, it's a conspiracy between LED makers and automotive car makers. 
LED are expensive and demands more electronics control than a simple halogen light bulb which only requires 2 wires - 12V and ground.

What led to the LED is basically a big scam out there.

I hate being blinded by the oncoming driver, but I installed LED headlight on my Corolla. All that matters for LED conversion is "light pattern". A LED bulb with perfect pattern projected doesn't blind others. The bulb that I use is HYUGA U9.

vehicle manufacturers have started to introduce LED technology to headlamps. LED headlamp bulbs require less energy, and have a longer lifespan compared to halogen and HID headlamps.

 

while this is true. manufactures dun change their car to LED because of it.

the main and key reason is it look nicer. or ppl feel they have the latest tech,

u see the comment, many bros already say they skip cars thats not using LED.

It is ok if the headlights are the projector headlights, but the reflector headlights will cause a lot of glare if one changes them to brighter  bulbs.

I replaced my headlights and reverse bulbs to LED, it passed the LTA inspection  using that test equipment but the guy told me I must replace them to halogen bulbs when I return for inspection next year
