YouTube recomended a “Laser Car Headlamp” video, which appears to be a stand alone LEP module.
They are on eBay at
I have yet to see LEP modules for sale so i found this interesting.

It is unfortunate this is available. Car headlights are already too darn bright when you meet them head on. Hope this becomes an illegal modification PDQ.
I’d be damned tempted to shoot them out if I were to meet them oncoming

Now that is cool technology, if it works!
The smart dimming currently in use is hit or miss sometimes it just flashes the lights up and down till you change them yourself (driven several, its easier to turn it off). I’ll have to look into this new kind, thats interesting.
Regardless of use, would the price in that listing seem reasonable for this technology?
All I see of LEP flashlights are expensive ones. More expensive than that.
Just wondering if $67 seems reasonable for the tech? Ie, might actually get quality, or theres no way thats a genuine good LEP setup.
I have the adaptive headlights enabled on my 23 Ford Lightning, they are fantastic.
But of course, even though the adaptive beams have been legal and in use overseas for well over a decade now, the US government took 10 years to update the regulations. And then once they did, manufactures started implementing the tech so that they could just turn it on for their customers. So what does the good old US Government do? Takes two years to come to a decision and then says that although it has been fine everywhere else for nearly a decade, they need new regulations and none of the existing technology will meet the regulation they are going to implement so the manufactures will have to redesign everything. Oh, and of course in a global market the lights for the US will have to be specific for us.

Hi everyone, I just cleaned up the argument in this thread. Feel free to continue discussing the technical aspects of this topic, but please watch your tone and avoid personal attacks and insults. Several posts containing relevant technical information were also flagged and removed due to their being mixed with personal comments that fanned the flames, so feel free to edit and re-post those comments with just the technical part.

Wow, I only noticed a small fraction of the argument, but then again, I only skimmed this thread. 
I can see a use for high speed trains, aircraft on runways & such. Maybe conventional trains too. Also, on massive, slow, lumbering ships such as container ships & massive tankers that require long distances to maneuver or stop.
I see no advantage on road vehicles to illuminate miles ahead with a pencil beam. I would be unable to discern much, if any, detail of significance that far in front.
Seems that when installed on a lifted truck they may be unpredictable.
These things are ripe for abuse by the ignorant & outright inconsiderate.

I would expect there to be an entire matrix of dynamically controlled modules, that change the “beam height” and maybe even focus to adapt to visibility, speed and steering angle in a computer-controlled way on luxury/higher end cars. Paired with traditional LEDs for lowbeam flood ofc.
On mine (Ford F150), there is a normal “low beam”, then the “high beam” is actually individually lit segments. So when there is oncoming traffic it turns the individual segments facing the oncoming car off.
I also have lights that turn with the steering wheel but they are not strictly part of the system
