68 how do you keep the parking lights on with the headlights

Please show me at what point I "argued" with anything you stated.

I wasn't talking about (or to) you.

I have a problem with your method of delivery

Then don't read my posts. Add me to your Ignore list. It's really easy, and solves the problem completely. In fact, that is exactly what I'm going to do with you as soon as I hit "post" on this here message.

I'm not a child

"I'm gonna modify my car's safety lights however the hell I want! Safety effects on other road users? I don't care! I can do whatever I want!" H'm. Doesn't sound very grown-up to me. *shrug*

I find it extremely hard to believe that you can immediately ascertain that the new LED signals are not up to the job, when you have no knowledge of the exact positioning of the lights in relation to the original signals, no knowledge of the light output

I do, in fact, have that very knowledge. But it's not necessary, any more than it's necessary for me to see any particular square wheel to state correctly that there's a problem with the concept.

I get it, you don't like the HIDs

You don't seem to get it, no. HIDs are terrific -- as long as they are properly engineered and built. "HID kits" in halogen-bulb headlamps, fog/auxiliary lamps, or signal lamps (any kit, any lamp, any vehicle no matter whether it's a car, truck, motorcycle, etc.) do not work safely or effectively, which is why they are illegal. Full detail from a whackload of good sources here.

you don;t like someone that has a different opinion from your own

Variety is the spice of life; it'd be a dull world if we all had the same opinions. But the grownup thing to do is to realise that sometimes there really is one right answer, sometimes there isn't room for a warm fuzzy "agree to disagree" variance of opinions. That's the case with things like car lights, which either work correctly or unsafely with no middle ground. Sorry that chaps your hide, but -- like the sun's stubborn insistence on rising in the East and setting in the West -- it stubbornly remains factual.

Bye, now!
