Headlights on

Please excuse if already answered. Could not find anything on this.
Was wondering if having your headlights on difuse the effectiveness of laser detection? My car the headlights are on all the time, using the Sylvania Ultra bulbs. I find it hard to believe a laser could get a bounce back from them when illuminated but not sure of the frequency of laser. My headlights are at 4000.

Car&Driver tested this 12 years ago, and did notice some reduction in targeting range. However with a modern lidar gun the effect is minimal at best.

4000 K is the temp at which they burn(or the equivalent). Dont know how much light they produce at the 904 range.

I get a lot of E-04 w/ the Stalker off normal car headlights. Same with the sun. My guess is the range is cut down, but you may get some Popo interest if they actually pay attention to the code and care.

I'd use the lights. think Safety, and advantage YOU.

Take every advantage.
