Laser headlights, forget xenon, Halogen is for kids!

This is what I need for my FZ6, laser headlights! Audi and BMW (German) are introducing the first production vehicles with this technology. They claim the laser last forever and is 1000 times brighter than LEDs with half of the power consumption!

That's badass, I've love that on my bike and especially my car (which has the worst headlights)

cheap conversion kit available on ebay in ... 3 ... 2 ... 1... only, unlike HID conversion kit, this one has the opposite problem - the beam is not scattered enough. The oncoming drivers are complaining of burned windshields and fried retinas.

I'll be honest, that picture doesn't look like 100 meters, but damn impressive nonetheless!

the lights can bright as far as 600 meters and how far down the road the human eye can see? so German tech assumes human eye can see up to 600 meters...that's impressive super human eye? IMO, useless technology unless riders/drivers wear the goggle scope??
