Do hid lights delay laser reading

[MarshVegas]

Just wondering if anyone had done any tests to see if HID lights in PROJECTOR LENS DELAY ANY LASER SPEED READING

Although I haven't done any tests on HIDs alone, they did seem to make a difference in the performance of a jammer. I tested a black Acura TL with a blinder M25 and was able to get an 800+ft punchthrough on the headlight with my Laser Atlanta but when the driver's 6000k HID headlights were on it was JTG.

If you call being able to get a reading at 4000' on a C6 Corvette without HID's on and getting one at 3000' with HID's on delaying then yes it does. Will it help you, NO!!

Very few if any officers target you at 4000', most encounters occur within 1000' or less, equating to instant readings 95% of the time.

Yes they do enhance a jammers ability from our testing, but it is in no way a stand alone protection.

Exactly, like Veil or a Laser Shield plate protector, except that those ALWAYS help. HIDs only occasionally help.

By the way, read the FAQ.

Just a hunch but I'll bet that HIDs make a car more stealthy by design. You don't need a great big reflective surface for them to work. Plus they seem to have dark matte material around them.

I'll bet it has little to do with light output or anything.

They definitely enhance jammer performance. One of our tests we were getting PT's on the Vette with one particular gun until I turned on the headlights, then no more PT's.

yeah but i hate when a car with hids drives behind me or is coming at me cant see anything theyre blinding i guess that messes up the laser a bit

THANKS FOR THE REPLY

If you say so then I believe it. Just hard to understand how they can intefere with IR beams. Do HIDs emit into IR?

Maybe when they're lit the interior of the bulb becomes cloudy or something and helps prevent reflections. Kind of like an electric VEIL cloud... or something...

Does that make any d@mned sense
