Default Self control with LED lights

I have found on of the biggest needs for self control is the 5 am drive to work. The jeep is not a speed demon, so smaller cars constantly come up on me. When they have their high beams on, and never turn them down, it is so very tempting to turn on the full package of lights when they pass. Have never done it.....but after being blinded for miles...it's tempting.

Sometime I do, and sometimes I act on that urge... It's usually when it's 2 am and I'm heading home from somewhere and some little dick who SEES me TURN OFF my high beams while he's merging decides to pull under my bumper and turns on his high beams. Worst part is, they sit there. So I do what any neighborly person would do, I pull out of that lane, let them pass me and let em have it.

Is it right? No. But damnit if I get sick and tired of it and they need to be taught a lesson once in a while.

Also, to add, after the second time it happened I thought maybe my lights were out of alignment and checked them out. Not a chance, they were dead on with a nice clean cutoff.

I wired my a-pillar spots (which go to the spod overhead) to my high beams. I find it easier to flick them quickly without taking my hands off the wheel
