I'm sorry but I have to say this. I absolutely detest those people who use those super white and bright headlights. They themselves do not see their own headlights but what about other drivers? I have encountered many cars with such headlights, my eyes really hurt and I was blinded for a moment. It was so dangerous. What's the purpose of installing such headlights anyway? To look fierce, to make a cheap car looks more expensive, or what?? Singapore roads are bright enough that we don't even need to switch on the headlights actually. So please spare a thought for other drivers, BE CONSIDERATE!!!

Just to post my research>>>>LED headlamp>> Bright and white but the range not very good.Cos  they cant shine too far..

Long lasting as compare to NB  (but no range..)..

IMO>> more for aesthetic purpose rather than SHINE your way ahead...

Those user who are on HID have to had their light focus in order not to blind the drivers in front but some installer only know how to install but dun know how to focus the light beam correctly... so if u want to install HID, pls look for good installer like Clarke....
