This would be like say... ...Nuking Azerbaijan, to get Irans attention. He gets the point, doesnt get blinded, There isnt too much public outcry, and mostly everyone is happy.

Well, i was going to say "Vaporize Bambi" but i thought i might irritate summa them super-sensitive treehugger types. I figured saying Nuke, Illegal, Bozo, and DeathRay all at once in reference to the middle east pretty much put me in direct conflict of just about every "politically correct" chunk of verbage on the planet.
So i was being nice. :toung:

Default Hi-lights

I got this all the time w/my old TJ with 4" lift on 33s...

so i usually just drove w/the fogs on (2 pair) until I got pulled over for it, once I explained to the cop why, he just said 'well, you still have to use your head lights'... so i do.

Now on 5.5" lift and 35s... my lights go OVER cars, not through them at traffic lights...

but my 1995 tahoe is the perfect size to blind everyone

Don't worry about it, just show them your high-beams...

by the way; my low's don't shut off with my hi-beams....

whoops

I have backup lights on all my cars too... when in R or a switch...

they should come standard...

'lets install lights for looks'...

only pontiac (a crappy company btw) has the IQ to use backup lights stock!

a simple pair of H355ws... c'mon, it doesn't take a JEANYUS

My suggestion is to drive with the fog lights on.

When you switch from low to high beams the fog lights turn off and gives the oncoming a burst of what your brights are like.

Or maybe a crystal ball, those things can really irritate a person.

....or you could just confuse them by rolling down your window and waving to them.

My questions:

1. Who else has had this happen??

2. What kinda light should i rig up to flash back... something uber bright that will send the swerving into the trees?? j/k... kinda... well, maybe not


it is annoying b/c some people flash quickly and once and some asses turn them on and honk the horn all the way to you...


These work G R E A T !!!!!!




They come one in conjunction with my highbeams.Also got some 150w high beams bulbs in my garage to put on. (I need a relay)

I drive to and from everyday in the dark. Someone always flashes me with my lowbeams and fogs on.

They don't much like the highbeams any better
