You may have to sling together 20 or so 5W LSs, it's not going to work unless you have literally a HUGE parabolic reflector to smash some light out of it, and even at that, it may not be enough... Maybe a single 25W LS banging out 600 lumens or so can cut it... And at that, the high dome needs to be even higher... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Right now, HIDs still rule the nest...

...my 50 watt HIDs produce 5,000 to 5,200 lumens. What would a 50W LS be capable of producing...1,000 to 1,200 lumens? LEDs have a long way to go if wanna compete with HIDs.

Re: Well...
I saw a brief discussion of the Cadillac 16 concept car on Tech TV today. They mentioned that they were using LED headlights and brake lights. They went on to say that the headlights had a prism in it to beam the light. Does anyone have any more detail on this?
