[ROVERNET - UK] LED Replacements

[Dave Read]

Yair, ok,
The lamps that are meant to look under fog banks, but look so "cool" as 
they dazzle you at night. They have no glare control (depending on the 
reflector and fitted lamps) and add nothing to seeing in normal night 
conditions.

I rely on the dash indicator lamp to tell me if my air dam lights on the 
SD1 VDP are on ... can't tell otherwise, 'cept in fog.

Cheers
