So this is like the LED version of 1000M halogen lights you see on many an SUV - used to have them. Okay for straight dark country roads when there's no other traffic but pretty useless anywhere else. Matrix LED headlights are better - always on full beam with dynamic masking and cornering lights like you're about to get on that ID.3 you're testing - I read the other day that those type of lights aren't approved in the US so perhaps that is why you can't get them on a Tesla.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

From 2001 to 2018 I drove 65000 Km a year - mostly nighttime in Denmark - in 3 Mercedes Sprinters 315/318/316 CDI long wheelbase, delivering stuff for the same company. I kept the cars 5,5 years and then started a new leasing period with a new car. Nighttime driving in Denmark is a zigzag between wildlife deers - zize from Rabbits to Red Deer - the last Sprinter had Xeon lights with very bright light - turning night time into daytime - and while I normally would have between 0 and 2 collusions with deer in the "lifespan" of a car - the last Sprinter with the bright light killed 11 deers! (not counting cats, small dogs, and rabbits) Eleven. Why - My best guess is that the bright daylight like light - dos not scare the wildlife - they are not afraid of daylight - sometimes a little confused - yes - daylight came quick this night - but nothing to be scared of - and no need to get out of the way.. and smash... everybody - owners and car manufactures are very pleased with the new brighter light - and so is Bjørn.. but nobody seems to realize that the dead deers dont have a chance to learn their baby deers that quick daylight might be the last thing they see - before - smash..

[@SwiftHDX]

So you reckon it's the brightness of the lights as opposed to the cooler colour temperature?

[@ek9772]

Jesper Ohlin the safety radar in many cars will slow or stop the vehicle if it detects a stationary object in front of it. At the speed at which most drivers go on a highway, it is unlikely that in a dark night or foggy night that they would react in time regardless of the amount of light. However, unless it is raining, the safety radar will react much faster than a driver.

[@pawwwlikk]

After my last collision with an animal I just drive slower. I saved many animals this way. Bright light helps me to see them earlier and avoid collision. When I had car with matrix LED light (Opel / Vauxhall Ilntellilux) wide spreading the light, that was most comfortable and safe for me and safe for the wildlife. But if someone is driving faster because he sees more in the night because he has strong lights, only more collisions will be the result. So I think, this is not about the lights - it's about how fast we're driving. Best regards and hope no more collisions :)

[@OZ6JO]

@@pawwwlikk Please understand that I did not try to hit the deers - Only one af the 11 kills were a frontal collusion. The rest are deers that walk into houses and eat tulips and other flowers that peole have in driveways.. then when they (the deers) suddenly are aware of the car - they run - same way out as they came in - and right into the side af the van, going full speed.. usely they are knocken out and get a leg or two run over. Everytime that happens I stopped and called the national "sweisshund" service - a finemasked net of hunters with dogs that can track the animal - this service is free to call.

Also could be a good opportunity to comment on whether a LED bar is a good companion to the matrix lights on newer cars - it certainly can't work with auto high beam that keeps high beam always on and instead adjusts where it shines in order not to blind oncoming traffic...

[@VoxelLoop]

I'm a little surprised Tesla doesn't turn on the spotlights when cornering, that seems to be a common practice in modern cars, right?

[@lenovopad4759]

Those turning lights are toys. To make it really useful, you got to turn the whole light beam.

[@VoxelLoop]

@@lenovopad4759 It does work pretty well though! Far better than not having it at all. :)

[@Hannu9999]

@@VoxelLoop Yes, those tiny turning lights may be nice at city speeds. But they are useless at higher speeds outside of street lights where these big main beams are needed. My use case is the same as Björn's, and I fully undertand why he added driving lights to his car.

[@VoxelLoop]

@@Hannu9999 They can be useful outside of cities on twisty back roads! I live in a rural part of the UK and it's a lot of single lane roads with tight turns, so you're not going fast really! High beam combined with 'turning lights' would be great for my use case as the Model 3's lights have very little spread, it's almost impossible to see around sharp corners and street lights are basically unheard of here outside of cities it seems. :) I think it'd be a nice option for them to add at least, and it's totally possible to do with an OTA software update. Obviously not useful for all situations, a light bar will be far brighter!

[@Hannu9999]

@@VoxelLoop Agree. It's a use case issue, Your straights followed by angular corners need cornering lights. My flowing country roads with fasters curves over here make better use of turning headlights that reach deeper into the curve.

[@GeoffSteeleAU]

Bjorn how did the 3's little 12V battery cope with running those for an extended time? Did you get to do any extended night driving with them on before you sold the car & had you upgraded the 12V side?

[@morilot]

I have led extralights, not bars, on my cars. 2x375W on Outback and 3x175W on i20. That lightbar you have don't shine that much, it's wide but short. And yes signs can be blinding. Also using highbeam with extra light at dusk or dawn will make animal eyes to pop and reflect lights.

[@seb.]

I too would prefer wider cover/adaptive for turns, also better not wait for autohighbeam to turn them off, oncoming traffic will get blind for 3hrs with those.

[@Hannu9999]

True. No matter how good the auto-high beam might be, it just can't handle the main beam that is 200 meters longer than standard.

[@paal.skodjevaag]

This became my next mod of my ioniq. As you know, Ioniq only has candles, so an order has been sent now👍

[@Hannu9999]

Very good idea, but please keep in mind a good balance between the main beam and dipped beam. Excessive main beam must be switched off early for other traffic and it causes big difference between the main beam and dipped beam. Big lights are fine, if you drive in The North, but the further south you drive, the less use you find for them.

It's amazing how many people seem to think that less light is a good thing? The same argument of "too much" has been used in the past against (at least) agaist 4-wheel brakes, halogen lights, xenon lights, winter tyres, ABS, and pretty much anything that is today considered a safety feature.

[@bjornnyland]

Exactly. The same people who screams "This LED bar has too much light" will scream "The Tesla lights sucks because they are too weak compared to the Mercedes lights". Silly.

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

I would be interested in seeing these from the perspective of the car that's driving toward it, this is probably be too bright to be safe when driving on public roads.

[@muche6321]

You're supposed to switch to low beam with incoming traffic. But yes, it would be interesting to see the light from the other side, in this context, whether they are blinding at the point of first sight.

[@Hannu9999]

I meet dozens of those big LED-bars pretty much every time when leaving the street light area between October and March and it's absolutely no problem at all (having decent light in my own car too). Your eyes adapt to the light that is available. Feel free to adapt your eyes to as dim light as you wish, but don't ask the others to make the same mistake.

[@jafuk]

Light bars are ideal for off-roading. Seems like another solution to a nonexistent problem.

[@lenovopad4759]

Nope. In reality, light bars are very good for driving in dark. But this Lazer bar is just one of those typical designs with not so useful beam shape. Too tall round beam means you waste a lot of light in the tree tops and have to dip early for oncoming traffic. That's why the flat & wide beam works much better for those of us who drive in the dark. We are in minority, but we are here.

Lazer doesnt have this harsh blue light either.

[@Hannu9999]

@@bjornolsson9383 thanks, Björn, much appreciated! I see your point now as I found a better video to show the same panel on my favourite Finnish site Jussinmäki.net and I am now convinced of the merits of this panel. Pity the road picked for this video is largely just curves and motorway between crash barriers that limit the visibility. It's hard to see the real width of the beam with hardly any reference outside the road. And I guess we are aiming at the same thing, which is a wide beam like good fog light, but 300+ meters long, right? I won't replace my X-Vision Genesis quite yet, but I keep this Lazer Elite in mind for the future (as my wife's car with a pair of Lazer Triple-R's is due for change soon). One of the advantages is the compact design that makes it easier to hide in the grille (my huge X-Vision bar is ugly as it's just standing on the front bumper. But it's still less ugly than bloody remains of reindeer on the bonnet and wind screen)

Sirius Inceptum that’s why quality cars have Matrix lights which work really well

[@Hannu9999]

@@Philip-kc2et I agree. Matrix light is the best means to mitigate the obvious limitations of powerful headlights. The problem is that most of those adaptive matrix lights are designed for built-up areas and they are lacking the power needed in rural areas and wintery conditions. Björn's video is shot in easy conditions. Double or treble the stopping distance on snow and ice, add reindeers on the road and you see why those of us living here need a bit more light than folks driving in motorways. Top of the range headlight are a must feature in my next car.

On a serious note - is this legal in Norway on road?

Bjørn Nyland I certainly hope not. But we all can make mistakes, this was a genuine question as for example here (the Czech Republic) this would be illegal to use on the road (as far as I know, maybe this specifically will have homologation). This wasn't a troll or a „keyboard warrior“ question.

Hi Bjørn ! As I guess you have used this ledbar a lot of times for hours continously, have you ever gotten any 12volt error message in the car ? I am considering getting this ledbar, but concerned about the power usage. Supposedly the model 3 12v battery is only charged at a maximum rate of 6 amps and this ledbar would pull 8-10 amps at 126W. Thanks for great videos again :D

[@bjornnyland]

No

[@MrSpuzzz]

Scrolling thru comments I can’t believe how many people ask if it’s legal. Scroll down at least once before asking a question.

[@Hannu9999]

There seems to be more than one correct answer to this question. I know for fact that it is perfectly legal (at least) in NO, SE and FI. Mandatory annual check-up just verifies proper installation and the grand total of all installed main beams. I took the latest S-Class as an example, as it is carefully engineered to use up the whole quota allowed for single car to put as much light in front of the car as legally possible. Just like Björn's car, my one also left the factory with less powerful lights, so we have just taken our LEGAL RIGHT to add what the factory had forgotten. Park our cars next to new S, walk away 200 - 300 meters and you'll see pretty much the same readings on your lux meter in front of all three cars. In the Nordic countries all three are legal, further south just one. This was a surprise for me as well, as I had thought common EU directives (such as car type approval requirements) means common rules, but apparently that is not the case.

[@Dipper737]

But with the Matrix lights you can drive with high beam all the time. The car just masks out the meeting cars. With this you have to dim down.

That's weird timing, I just bought a Stedi ST1K 21.5" LED lightbar for my Model S for my winter trip to Norway. It is specifically ECE approved (E-marked) for legal use across Europe. I'm going to be triggering the LED with the high beam with a CANM8 CANNECT HIGHBEAM, getting the CANBUS signal from the OBD2 port through a switched OBD2 extension cable (cheapest switched OBD2 extension thing off Amazon) so I can still turn it off completely from inside the cabin. The Stedi wiring kit does come with a physical switch for this too, but it's round and lights up red when on so not really mountable in a Tesla (I'll be bypassing that switch).

Show us how you clean your Model 3!

[@piotrmotyka7709]

Hi is this could be fitted by any car can you send a link estimate price for model 3 thenks Piotr great review

[@rkan2]

Where you at ? Retrofitting filament bulbs is not allowed anywhere in Europe, however installing led bars is allowed at least in Norway, Sweden and now Finland too. (need to be approved ofc)

[@colla555]

Sadly we are not allowed any fun things in Germany like these LED bars🙄

[@stefanwagener]

It's a pity, now you cannot travel to Germany any longer ... illegal there and probably in many other countries as well

[@giaccomusic]

really?

[@lenovopad4759]

Even though this Lazer panel is not my favolurite choice, there is no reason why it would not be used also in EU, depending on the standard lights of the car it is bolted on. ECE approved and ref. 45, so it is perfectly legal on quite many cars.

[@whuzzzup]

They are indeed illegal in Germany (§52 StVZO) but, StVZO applies to cars registered in Germany. If you are from an EU country or some country that has some special contracts with the EU (no idea if Norway has this), then you are allowed to drive in Germany (§20 FZV) - as long as safety standards are met (there are court rulings about this). Not really sure if a light bar meets those standards. So tl;dr: It's complicated but since you won't use them on the Autobahn but instead in the middle of nowhere during night, nobody will notice most likely during your stay in Germany.

[@Hannu9999]

@@whuzzzup thanks for this. I was already wondering why the police is never interested in my car at all even though I never leave home without proper lights. My Finnish number plate exempts me from local requirements. But now I am wondering how do the German registered rally cars pass their test in Germany? Do you need a kill switch for the extra lights or what?

[@fixandtests]

@@Hannu9999 before it was often enough to just put a blackout cover on the extra lamps , its also possible to get a blackout cover for the led lightbar

[@fnordist]

Amazing!

[@todoralexandrov1]

I'm curious what kind of reflections will be there in a snowy weather.

[@Hannu9999]

Plenty of light in snowy scenery is just nice view to Winter Wonderland, which is very relaxing to the eye that gets used to it quickly. But sometimes the reflection back from the traffic signs can cause rather irritating glare. I sometimes switch to low beam just for traffic sign even if there is no other traffic.

[@aatheus]

Very impressive lights! How easy was the install? Did you do it yourself, or have someone install it? I ponder getting one for my Bolt EV . Edit: ah, they installed it for you. Hopefully someone makes something compatible with my EV

[@Hannu9999]

@@bjornnyland thanks for your video, Björn! It looks like some people commenting do not realize that the panel is connected as a slave to the car's own main beam and the extra LED bar switches off when changing to dipped beam?

@@bjornnyland, driving school teaches you to avoid accidents, yet, almost every driver has had one.

[@Lebviero]

Yes it's amazing but is not a litlle bit dangerous with snow ?

[@FSXgta]

Most of the time in snow the normal headlights are enough, you just get blinded by reflection. I have this bar in my fossil car and have a switch to disable it

[@bjornnyland]

No

[@VaBraAnton]

Judging by the video the original TM3 high beam light pattern is rather disappointing on winding country roads in the dark.

[@eubikedude]

A lot of the videos of headlights make them look much worse than reality, look at some from e.g. The Missenden Flyer for motorcycles, e.g. the KTM 1290 SA. He's talking about how amazing they are in the video, but the footage makes them look terrible, I have one of those bikes and they are amazing - and they have cornering lights built in too.

[@Zarphag]

Norway headlights nerfed like the rest of EU ones because no washers?

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Washers are a UNECE requirement with Xenon and LED lights. So fit them. This is not an EU homologation requirement, it’s everywhere but US/Can.

[@VoxelLoop]

@@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524 I don't think I know of many cars with washers for their headlights, are you sure that's a requirement not just a recommendation that some countries don't follow? My dad has a Peugeot 308 2014, that has very bright LEDs yet no washers. :)

Why bother with a light bar? I would prefer to have an Overhead display all across the Windows displaying my environment through IR lights. :)

[@rkan2]

I agree :)

[@mrmuds8624]

What we need now is for manufacturers to integrate lights this powerful into their vehicles but with matrix style, so that oncoming traffic won't be permanently blinded 🤣🤣🤣

[@rkan2]

Someone needs to develop led bar matrix lights :P

[@andrejkorosec9422]

amazing

[@lenovopad4759]

So what's the big deal? As you can see, Lazer suffers from the "round tybe" light pattern that is so typical for badly designed LED lights. Tree tops are well illuminated but the beam is not that impressive on road sides. I am one of those who need main beam for winter driving, and based on this video, I am happy to keep X-Vision Genesis. For those who prefer cool white colour temperature, Optibeam Commander is the same panel with different colour temperature.
