If I had an extra $75 right now I would get that in a heartbeat. I'd wire that sucker to a switch tho - so I could nail the idiots that ride on your a$$ at night...

thats pretty awesome. its a great alternative for anyone that doesn't want lights under the bumper like a few of us have. or for cars.

that's about how bright my lights are. and yeah, it makes tailgaters back off pretty quick.
someone was tailgating me for the first time the other night since i put the lights under my bumper, and as soon as i saw their headlights disappear below my tailgate, i reached down and flipped the switch. they got about 5 car lengths back the moment i hit it.

yes good find indeed i like, but ive been pulled over and my family members been pulled over for the licence plate cover blocking the plate like other guy said , thats all the excuse they had( first thing he said was i couldnt read your tags because the cover was blocking it partially, no ticket no nothing just warned me to remove it or it will likely happpen again , stupid i know huh?!) and need here, so everytime i get a car with those covers on them they are the first thing to come off so they dont have an excuse to pull someone ever, but i do like it tho, my wife got a rav 4 i took it off, when i got my truck i took it off, my father inlaw had one on his honda accord got pulled over for that reason alone....my wifes cousin visting from alaska had one on her honda accrod also and was pulled over for the same reason while she was going to college down here for the frame and out of state plates.... so like i said they come off first thing...i know alot of imports but they last.........

I really like those lights and all... and I could use something a little brighter myself. But one question... what the hell are you doing on Club Lexus

^ agreed... dodge and lexus should never be in the same sentence.. unless it's like.. "I passed a pos lexus with my dodge the other day"

and for those of you that are worried about your plates.. i'm sure you could mount it someplace else DUH!

why not just get a strobe light from a camera if you want to blind someone.. I'm all about screwing with tail gaters.. but what if you cause an accident? or cause someone to cross center and have a head on? Or what if they whip out a gun and blow your freakin head off?... what ever happened to the good ole brake check? that's not good enough? now you have to threaten someone's life.. might as well shoot them.. or throw some nails out the back.. or dump some oil on the road or deploy your smoke screen... and what is really great? I'm willing to bet you yourself tailgate people!
