Yeah.. i meant to say with a VERY high light output... most of the superbrights i use for projects have a relatively small direct viewing angle..

You were DIRECTLY behind the car weren't you.... what did they look like if you stepped a few degrees off center???? I have no doubt that the leds were brighter at 1000 ft if you were directly in line with them

They are not retrofited existing reflective incandescent fixtures for under $100.
And I have never seen a LED traffic light array be brighter than an incandescent. They simply last longer. In fact many traffic light LED arrays often wash out with direct sunlight on the lens.
And as a side bar, my voltage does not drop when my lights are turned on... if yours is, perhaps you need to look at replacing your alt.
But I am done with this subject. Again if you like them use them (LEDs). I don't consider them a safe replacement yet.
