A few BMW and Audi drivers could learn something there thenDaleks had indicators?

Fog , Brake and Reverse will use an array of these 3w star led with the individual lenses showing , i.e not behind acrylic.Watching with interest. Will there be fog and reverse lights too, or just the indicators, brake and running light?
It’s clear that no one in the ‘real world’ understands anything about the work that is involved in a rear lamp.
It takes about 3 years to develop a rear light. We just started a project to launch in Dec 2027. Around 20,000 man-hours, even a ‘standard’ lamp is full of engineering challenges. The tooling bill alone will be north of £1.5m for a lamp like that.
Our laboratory is fitted with around £1m worth of equipment to do full durability, environmental and photometric testing.
To think you can safely replicate any of that on your kitchen table is absurd.
Many moons ago I was involved with various 'standards' committees, and it was not uncommon to see standards written around a specific company's product thereby effectively writing out the competition - at least for the time being. I'm sure there's a fair amount of jiggery pokery in various industries these days.And that's the reason everything in the western world is so ridiculously and unnecessarily expensive.
Someone (with a vested interest) convinces someone else that the only way to do anything 'safely' is spend a stupid amount of money on it.
Money making is all it is.
Are they glass or plastic lenses - the originals were glassNice to see the challenges and solutions in this post. I remember the time when these were suitable for everything! View attachment 122298

Just make sure that you're still wearing all PPE when you fall including your hi-vis otherwise you won't get the compo.A lot of safety issues are perceived, like three points of contact while ascending or descending a ladder. That's how people are trained to use one now, except.. us old blokes we are exempt as it awkward to change a habit of a lifetime thus making it less safe to try and utilise the new method! Sorry to drift lol
Steady fella. I'm sure that they'll work correctly and be compliant legally . Anyway he'll still be ten foot away from the accident if some dozy s0d crashes into his rear whilst admiring his handiwork.It’s a shame you think that.
If you don’t see the value in making sure the lights work when you most need them, then I suggest you unplug your rear lamps and see how long it takes for you to have an accident…. I’m not really sure who is making money in that case?

At OP, do us all a favour and make sure you use red for brakes, amber for indicators and white for reverse.
So glad this isn't a BMW forum as people will be asking 'what are indicators?'
Why do you think they won’t work when you need them most? - the modern LEDs he will be using are probably a lot more reliable (and brighter) than the old bulbs they will be replacing. I don’t think anyone is arguing that safety is important but I dont see any reason why these would be any less safe or reliable than the original 15+ year old units they will be replacing which probably already have corroded bulb holders and iffy earths etc. and have just as much (if not more) potential to fail when you need them most.It’s a shame you think that.

Clunk Click every trip as Sir Jimmy saidSafety is everyone's concern but your own responsibility...

Nice performance from 1 , a bank of them will be plenty brighter than the OEM look.
