You said a bike light will never make a bike look like a car or motorcycle. For the right price, it will.
I was talking about both the ultrabright HID's and Halogen as well as the little luxeon jobs. You might be right if the price is right, but you would still have to increase the lens size substantially over what bike lights are today that at the most are only 2" across. To the best of my knowledge I don't think I've encountered any of those new $1,200 plus lights yet...and I'll be surprised if I ever do.
There are by the way, increasing smaller lights on a few of the newer cars that just look odd and not as noticable as the larger designed len's, but they offset some of that lack of noticablity with a weird violet hue to the light.
