The bottom of the license plate holder covers the top half of the ledbar, doesn't it? Maybe if the holder could be lifted 1-2 cm, that would make a big difference.
We recommend that you change out the license plate holder with one without the logo, and get one which is thinner at the bottom. You can also move the holder up, and it won't be an issue. If you have adjusted the light correctly and moved the holder, it's not going to be a problem. :)
I work for Lazer, that license plate is certainly hindering the performance of the i-LBA. The light sensor will certainly pick up reflection from the back of the licence plate. Interesting method of installing one of our lamps. Best regards Aaron. Lazer Lamps Integration Specialist.

Nowadays you are allowed to have the original 35 watt headlights in europe. The legislation has been relaxed a few years ago. Even tesla will replace now with 35 watt light and not 25 watt lights. An acquaintance of mine had the 35 watt installed, it is quite a lot better. This is the case in the Netherlands.
This isn't correct, the Watts isn't the issue: it's the light output. Beyond 2000lm on each side, you need headlight cleaning feature (Have a look at section 6.22.9 in 42016X1723 "Regulation No 48 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UNECE) - Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices [2016/1723]")
What are you talking about? Watts don't matter. I've ordered Philips UltinonPro 6000 from Germany and i'm using them in Finland. And i've additional 120W lightbar installed.
I also have a Tesla Model S (2018) and installed a Lazer light bar (24 linear flood) in the lower grill. I want to connect to my high beam but can't identify the high beam wire to connect to. Any ideas?

Tesla knocked it out of the park in every other category with the introduction of the Model S, so it's odd that they skimped on the headlights. In fact, this was one of the main areas that they got nabbed for by Consumer Reports back in the day. Should have been fixed early on with much better (and brighter) headlights. Luckily they are easily updated by aftermarket parts such as this one.
Actually they have been rated some of the best headlights, very bright compared to most vehicles. Obviously no one’s headlights will ever compared to an LED bar
@@Neubs-xv8tw Not really. The very first Tesla’s got poor rating on the headlights. The newer LED ones got good results. But the early ones were quite bad. Back in 2013 we tested it with my friend’s Model S and my car back then - 1999 Suzuki Swift GLX. And guess what, the Suzuki had better lights. I was truly amazed and shocked at the same time…

i dont believe the 18k output based on the specifications. it would mean the bar outputs 133W per lumen. those numbers are possible but not with the kind of leds they are using in this kind of format. it theoretically might be able to manage it but only when its -20 outside. you can clearly see that the specifications are made up as leds are MORE efficient on lower power and this bar does 120 lumen per watt on low. if the specifications were honest it should preform better (more lumen per watt) at low power then it would at high. this is like a salesman trying to tell yo a car is more efficent/consumes less doing 120 then when driving at 90. that just makes no sense. i would guess this bar makes no more then 8~10k at full power. especially when it ages it will drop more. i would love to see the actual power consumption and type of driver they use for the leds. i dont see how they can get those lumens even with a 100% efficent driver that does not exist.
--Because "18,000 lumens" must have been a slip of the tongue. The manufacturer states 8,651 effective lumens from a driver's field of view +/ 45° horizontal and +/ 10° vertical. Their stated luminous flux value is 12,150 lm--

@@TheSweMusicMan i picked the top on in the list in the discription. the math remains the same. its a bunch of marketing slight of hand with the output and a bunch of disclaimers like you already mentioned. they still lie about the actual specification of their product. its not a big to bjorn or the guys installing it. they dont know and have not make the product. but it needs to be stated that whatever numbers the company claims on their product is BS, that should be painfully obvious for someone with even a basic understnanding of electronics and led technology.
Some places in the world, not in Norway. Then again, I have not heard many say R - A - D - A - R and L - A - S - E - R so there's that... The explanation is most likely that the E in Led is pronounced different in USA and it simply doesn't flow if you form a word, while in Norway, Led sounds exactly like the common word Ledd which actually translates to joint. But because Led is never used by itself, but always forms a word like Ledbjelke (LED bar), Ledpære (LED bulb) and Ledlys (LED light) you always know that someone is talking about LED and not for instance your knee joint.
They have a ECE-R112 permid as high beam only. The position is wrong to be allowed as daylight. So, they have to turn off at low beam in the eu - not just glow/flicker. But hey .. money, right?
That makes no sense though. Thankfully Scandinavia has special permissions when it comes to extra high beam lights. Seriously, (and, it is not! directed at you) "as they can blind oncoming cars." is a seriously stupid reason/excuse to ban LED bars. If you are running high beams when facing oncoming traffic, you WILL blind them, LED bar or not. It is common sense to turn them off whenever there is a car in front of you.

So because you *could* have dirty headlights they restrict their output further by a third in all conditions? What kinda weird logic is that??

You should tell the audience you’re not using your lights in “E-mark compliant mode” but in “Boost mode” what is not legal in the EU 😉
