Aftermarket blacklight for cars 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Erlend Hagen on  Fri Oct 26 04:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I was looking into this for curiosity.

As many know, UV light illuminates light surfaces and especially fluorescent surfaces.

UV light dont give the same uncomfort for other drivers. (Although if you stare into it for a while you get hurt.)

Most of you know this situation: You are going fast and comfortable at night, and then you meet a car. You dim down the light, and see much less.

Ideally you should slow down to compensate.

UV light can be directed more like the high beam, since the other driver is not as annoyed by it.

--> YOU see much better

--> He/ she is not annoyed by it

WIN-WIN

Actually a swedish company sell it!

Is it legal where you live? I doubt it would be in the US as not even the blue and neon aftermarket add-on auto lighting sold at various parts stores is legal for road use.

You might like the idea but if it gets you pulled over and/or a ticket, what good is it?
