The HID headlight results (daytime) were what we discovered during testing at last weekend's Atlanta Jammerfest. The headlight tests were just something which popped into my head at the last minute after we were wrapped up with the actual testing. I hope that the results were recorded, but to the best of my recollection, turning HID lights on during the day resulted in PT distances which were at least halved. Jaykog hopefully may have the test results tabulated and posted Tuesday evening. Anyway, I couldn't believe that HID lights made a significant difference, especially after testing two other vehicles which had conventional halogen headlights. Yet the two vehicles which had HID lights had way shorter PT distances. The only thing I can figure is that HID lamps emit way more infrared (heat) compared to halogen lamps, and this raises the noise floor in a laser gun.
