I was just using your reason: "how JPJ gonna catch" a cloned car since both cars don't have to appear in the same place? JPJ checking Clone A in KL road block will automatically know there's a Clone B in Penang?

You don't know anyone caught doesn't mean no one has been caught in Malaysia.

Also, what I want to stress is not caught yet doesn't mean it's legal. Driving with expired insurance is also not illegal unless caught ke?

Had mine installed H4 LED white 6000k and adjust it lower on reflector housing. Bright enough closing to european car headlight. Cost Rm600 at that time. It will glare opposite traffic.

Get proper retrofit which in the end is still illegal by JPJ standard. Or buy a stronger halogen bulb if u can't see properly or get a spectacle.

If u buy cheap just to look cool, don't waste this money. Cheap LED don't have the proper color temperature as claimed. U might end up install cheap LED bar doing the same and ineffective.

color temp have anything to do with brightness ?

Factory fitted HID have a glare shield as the output is a lot higher, while halogen bulbs dont have.

So when people modify the headlights to HID, but did not include the glare shield, it ends up blinding on coming car or so....
Some people tune the headlights lower to compensate but most dont or dont know about this.

Maybe that's a wrong example. Maybe should use example like "changing car colour is not illegal because how JPJ gonna catch". Which is not true anyway, because jpj will know which car comes in what headlights.

The point in discussion is he implied it's not illegal because LED has no ballast and JPJ won't know, followed by "how many people kena caught for aftermarket led installation?"

base on act (we still using very old act 1987), which car headlamp does not allow 60w n head lamp color is yellowish, signal light is orange n brake light is red.
but jpj and traffic police can take action base on modification(current spec n original spec different)

Below 4300k it's yellow light. Above its white.

White beam u cant really see far especially from a LED. Light ray penetration is not far. Hence u see those old car with multiple LED bars....super bright at when close but from their view they cant see far at all.

Stick with Halogen is best unless ur car comes original factory spec LED/HID/Laser light

i think u miss out my queation base on ur reply..
spectrum or wavelenght have nothing ro do with brightness.

why small led car not so bright at far (arent that car headlamp purpose.?)

old day led tech not that advance, so they design in smaller size easier for reflection (led is 40 degree beam vs halogen/hid 360degree beam), also heat, even led called cold light but it still generate a lot of that might shorten bulb light spam。
