probably not possible on most cell phones, but on a traditional digital camera, taking any pictures of bright lights at night just causes an insane glare. so, kill the glare with your flash

plus it also captures the color much more accurately

llamaboiz...
Thanks for sorting out the headlights mystry for me. I took a good look at a filament buld today and I saw 2filaments inside it... I guess in norma circumstances switching on the HB lights up both wires. (which you dun get on LEDS)....

your last post you mentioned LED colors...
so for me who would like to get my bulbs replaces, I should be ordering 27's but state to V-leds I only want 4300k~5000k colors... right?

Ok, i dont understand... im sorry there are so many ppl i try to help with light questions and i confuse myself sometimes as to who is who/who wants what... IF you dont mind please PM with everything, what you have/what look your trying to achive in the DRL and parking lite and i will try to point you in the right direction, as you know looks are subjective so everything i say is what I think looks good.

I really would like to get two set of those! But I would like to know how long does it least? I have pair of PIAA which have only two LEDs but it works until today! However for those bright and many LEDs they only least a week or two...

Uhhhhh.....not even 2 weeks old, but half of my driving is nighttime. If they die, i'll let the CL community know (after I get in the ear of the v-leds guys).

Thinking of getting somethin like these... plus 27SMTs for position lights.... and 11smts for reverse lights
as i understand from further reading... LEDs are all 6000k rated... I guess 6k n 5k are not that different right? gonna take the leap and hope traffic wrdens dun notice.
now just waiting fi v-leds to release their 3w leds... wonder if they'll be a big difference...
