Rayzer Adds Light to the Night

Visualeyes wants to make night driving a bit safer by introducing the Rayzer, a pair of high beams mounted inside the car that provide greater illumination than a car’s standard high beams can on their own. The company says the lamps give drivers up to three times the visibility of standard halogen headlights.

To avoid creating a blind spot, the Rayzer attaches behind the rearview mirror of any car or truck, which certainly sounds better than mounting additional lights on the hood or roof. According to Visualeyes, the lights also wirelessly connect to your car’s headlights (how, we’re not sure), so there shouldn’t be a need to flip a switch off every time you see a car cresting a hill from the other direction. Furthermore, the lights have a dimming feature that detects oncoming traffic and shuts the beams off, so you shouldn’t blind other drivers.

The Rayzer sounds like a great new toy — if the technology works. With beams mounted that high, they’re sure to seriously distract drivers coming from the other direction if they don’t immediately shut off. Imagine being on the other end of two HID xenon lights mounted right at eye level. Still, the auxiliary lamps are supposed to last up to five years, which could make the gadget a worthy investment if it works as advertised.

That's what you see when driving in a sedan when facing a damn X5, Escalade and Navigator(The Navigator is not as bright)

I currently drive a 94 Dodge Intrepid that sits pretty low. I got blinded by lots of modern lights. I notice how all most all current cars are taller so the drive is less blinded by lights behind him or her.

I don't see how this could possibly be legal but you can't put "roll bar" lights on anymore. I don't remember when/why they were outlawed but I had an 82 Jeep with them, well in the garage anyway, and they seemed to be in a lot of 70s trucking and vanning mags.

Good light.I don't see how this could possibly be legal but you can't put "roll bar" lights on anymore.
