      This car is in the process of a "Restomod" project from another forum, I am rendering the car for the owner.
      The LED headlights are reasonably accurate but I need some advice on making these more closely resemble the real item effect.
      Any pointers, seeing that IES is off the table?

        Probably look a bit better with the lens glass to refract things.

        Just fiddle on the light component in a separate file to save you some compute.

        Another thing you could try is fake emission mixed with Rayscaper's own light components.

              Hi Mike, totally understand the lighting frustration. I tried this Realistic Render for you - not sure if I missed any details
