HELLA Matrix LED System

[@ricksays7133]

I enjoy reading comments from people who still cannot understand how a proper LED headlight system works from this video. Most headlight system that blinds other drivers are usually aftermarket HIDs and LEDs in the wrong headlight housings and are not compliant with DOT standards.

[@averyw.3939]

@Prince Ali That is an incredibly dumb statement.

[@MrSamdabeast]

I mean usually it's just ass holes with their high beams on

[@ibrahimeltony4865]

Enlight us please..

[@ryans413]

I bought I car where the previous owner put in bright LEDs me personally thought it be cool too see good at night until a cop pulled me over and said my lights where super bright. To me siting in the car seemed bright but not overly bright cop told me maybe they had to be aligned told me to just be careful at night cause might blind drivers. I decided to head home right away next day put halogens in. I’d rather be a safe responsible driver then a idiot with overly bright light making it unsafe for everyone else

Exactly. The last gen Audi A8 had it since the beginning. In Europe that is. Must be more than 10 years ago.

[@Ra188]

This type was way better than the new HD matrix led, this actually cut the light accordingly, or rather made a "shadow" for approaching cars or the ones infront, the new HD just works by shortening the light instead of making a shadow path

[@timmot123]

Brilliant technology, I had a car behind me yesterday for 20 minutes and could clearly see the lights adjusting for on coming traffic and no problem for me, these lights will save a lot of lives in the future

[@Johnny24rs]

This tech is so cool. I was driving a BMW 5 series and you could see how the light shifts and it worked excellent since I didn't get any flashes from the other drivers.BTW this tech works only on high beams which is used only outside of populated areas. I had to write this since I have read a lot of amusing comments. Oh and this tech is years old and very expensive, only for luxury cars. Peace

[@Thiterest1]

BMW has a different system which moves the lights to the side as you go around corners. As far as I know there are no car manufacturers that offer this tech as it doesn't work well enough to be viable.

[@tonyfelix1878]

I agree with these new type of headlights are and can be blinding. That being said, I would venture to say, when these bulbs are installed, the headlight assembly is not re-aligned per vehicle manufacture specs. There are AXIS adjustments (at a specific distance the center point supposed to be adjusted. i.e., at 6ft. from the headlamp on a level ground, the main part of the beam is 3ft. high) where the main focus of the beam is supposed to be adjusted to. I would say most are aimed to high.

[@Jsnonny60]

Only you can do that hella matrix led Nice work

[@jasonwilly8409]

On the Borneo crossing, the lights are not needed considering the signal from the truck in front at the same time so that the eyes are not tired

[@renegallardo4765]

The world we live in when it’s cool to have these fdup aftermarket headlights. I bought my car with xenon headlights but they don’t blind drivers. Even those Prius v with led headlights are not stable, they blind you. I would run into the same car every night for a few days. Hit my high light witch are halogen and they hit there high lights, the lights blinding me were the low beams wow.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial

[@morenojader]

This type of stuff can only be done by car manufacturers, it requires a lot of testing for it to work properly and effectively, you have to get to computer of the car and program it there. It’s not simply a camera in the windshield that will do the job. I know Mercedes Benz and Audi offer this as options.

[@RBBBBBBBBB533]

So, if there is a lot of traffic, we just drive blind?

[@senodwilaksono9103]

[@SpareSomeChange8080]

They make this sound so neccessary... "Approx 30% of all accidents occur at night"... *Well* *that* *means* *70%* *occur* *during* *the* *day* ... 30% at night sounds pretty good to be honest. It seems pretty pointless and the next lighting gimmic next to _sweeping_ _indicators_ ; what they also fail to mention is: - "how long does it take the software to recognise a vehicle, and adjust the light pattern so it doesn't immediately blind that driver?" - "how accurate is the software at recognising vehicles? If the windscreen is slightly obscured by rain or road dirt, how much does this affect this accuracy?" - "Will the vehicle recognition software recieve updates?" You only need 1 exception for someone to be blinded by this. When this breaks due to age, vandalism, etc. it's going to cost an absolute fortune to repair or replace, because there is no way it'll be allowed on the road if it's not functioning correctly.

ok so if it's only brighter on the terrain, how does it improve your ability to perceive cars which are left in the dark? won't you just blind yourself further by looking at the bright terrain and the light shown on, and by, other vehicles appears less brightly? How does it treat motorcycles?

[@michalklucz6907]

Ja, wenn es fehlerfrei funktionieren würde. Nachts auf Autobahnen unterwegs sein, wird immer stressiger, weil offensichtlich viele Besitzer hochpreisiger Fahrzeuge nicht mehr wissen, dass Fernlicht auch manuell zu deaktivieren geht und die Technik eben nicht jeden Gegenverkehr wahrnimmt und regelmäßig schön hell rüberballert. Alles nette Spielereien, aber gerade bei der starken Leuchtkraft wäre eine zuverlässigere Erkennung wünschenswert. Auch erst abzublenden, wenn man den Gegenverkehr schon geblendet hat, ist etwas bescheiden. EIn menschlicher Fahrer deaktiviert das Fernlicht vor einer Kurve, wenn Licht vom Gegenverkehr sichtbar ist. Die Technik reagiert erst wenn das Fahrzeug sichtbar ist. Na vielen Dank. Und wenn auf sehr kurvigen Landstraßen hinter einem das Auto Disco feiert, weil links und rechts um einen herum ständig einzelne Pixel ein- und ausgeschaltet werden, das lenkt unglaublich ab. Das nimmt natürlich nie der Fahrer des Fahrzeugs selbst wahr, aber ist ja auch egal, denn er hat ja schließglich auch 100k+ für sein Auto bezahlt, da kann der mit seinem lächerlichen 30k Auto ruhig abgelenkt und geblendet werden. Schöne Technik, aber es ist wirklich noch ein sehr weiter Weg zu gehen!

Good lightning for the owner but I'm sceptic about disturbing other drivers. It's stated that this lights does not glare others, but I see problem elsewhere. Cars equiped with this kind of lights also iluminate road to other users in near visinity and when they leave them they also take the ilumination. To some point I find this disturbing since for the others it's the same thing as turning the light out.

[@Hirotoro4692]

+b novak Don't be stupid. By your argument, every time a car leaves a road with street lights and goes onto an unlit road, their headlights would randomly switch off. If your illumination is taken away from other road users, they still HAVE THEIR OWN FUCKING HEADLIGHTS to rely on.
