The reason military issue flashlights had red filters was because of the low energy output (hard for others to see you at night from long distance).

Green light has the highest amont of monochromatic contrast resolution of any single color, which is why so many single color displays (i.e. military equipment) use green as the color.

BMWs used amber/red interior lighting exclusively in the 80s due to the low impact on night vision, but as their clientele has continued to become old/geriatric, they (and other automakers) have started using brighter white interior lighting as it is easier for older eyes to resolve.

The others extolling the virtues of yellow lights are on the money. French spec cars are required by law to have yellow lenses on either the high or low beams (i forget which).

Anyway... yeah, if you use normal wattage bulbs in red lenses, that will be great for us, because we won't be blinded by your car. I'd much prefer that to someone putting 9000k purple chinese HIDs in thier shitty car with bullshit wal-mart optics.

You, on the other hand, probably won't see the road very well 🙂

For cameras people use different lense filters to create/modify the way the picture comes out.

I'm assuming it's kinda like the same way snocross, and some snowboard goggles pick stuff up better with amber lenses maybe?

oh you showed me...

as far as yellow light doing anything, i'd have to see it to believe it, of course it's going to pick some stuff up better, but in normal conditions wtf is the point, and i'm sure theres onther stuff that they don't pick up as well,

i bet if you put red lights on your car you could go deer hunting and track blood with it too!

I know they make HIDs in pink, purple, blue, green, and probably red. But those are just ASKING to get pulled over.

But it's a pretty big deal to have red or blue coming from the front of your car.
