JDM Rain Light TOO BRIGHT

kenchan · 03-13-2012, 11:17 AM

my recommendation is only to use it in foggy/heavy rain conditions as intended.

If he dims it to where it is no brighter than his brake lights or tail lights, he can turn it on as an accent light no problem.

It will be less useful in fog conditions, but it will bother other drivers less on clear days.

Ok, I don't understand your logic, but if that's your opinion, I respect it.

WOW This got out of hand fast LOL.

<-- OP here

I do appreciate people trying to keep on task here however :-)

So we've got:
- Lower wattage bulb
- Tint the plastic itself

I think a different bulb would be key for me.

On a side note... this is run off the license plate voltage so it's on whenever the head lights are on. I'm just a bit OCD and like all my lights to be equal "bright-ness".

it is illegal though, in a whole wide range of circumstances, specifically the one he is using it in. He asked for help fixing it, not people to tell him it is legal.

You get in trouble if you don't follow the rules. You won't if you don't. Personal attacks are against the rules, disagreeing is not.
