the trouble with LED's are that they do not like heat.

You will find that if the headlight get hot (inside) or that the LED is close to a standard bulb that the LED's will constantly fade out and not work as they can t handle the heat. Happens all the time in my mate Gixxer (but then it is a Gixxer so I really couldnt give a shit) :lol:

You might think its a LED lights but I think your talking about HID light which most Luxury cars have them and even some new model cars.

I have it on my 2005 zx10r and It takes a while for the globe to heat up, and when it does the raod lights up well
