HaydnH Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I think he is more Jean Micheal Jarre than Close Encounters.... I was trying to find the helicopter with the big lights but couldn't find an image for it... maybe I was thinking of a different film? Quote

Am not a fan in general of daylight running lights as I think it makes it harder to judge approach speed - but that could just be my ageing eyes...! My view has always been if you need your lights ON to help others become aware of your presence then use the switch (ditto for indicators...) David Quote

Same reason why motorbikers have headlights on all the time, to make you see them faster. Personally, I like the looks, has nothing to do with the safety aspect. BUT, I don't like the ones in the OP's picture, reminds me of the fog lights on something like a jeep's bull bars. Edited July 12, 2013 by cs2000 Quote

I think it is even harder to judge closing speed and distance when a motorbike has the headlamp on as there is only a single reference point that generally is bright enough to effectively hide the rider/bike. With a car you have two DRLS and there is a narrowing of the field between them as the vehicle approaches which may help but I still think it is overall harder to judge distance/speed in good ambient lighting conditions with DRLs.

The helicopter sent to communicate with the big ship in Independence Day. I can't find a decent image though! Quote
AMT Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Retro LED's..... Nooooo lol They look so bad on most cars. Quote

That'd be it: Could've sworn they had lights in close encounters as well though, in time with the music? Quote
