a BRIGHT idea

Well around here there is a serious problem with ppl who love to ride your ass when driving, So I want to mount some lights into my bumper that when i hit the switch pretty much say back the **** off.

What would be the brightest light(s) for my money

I see people loaded with fog lights in the back bumper

I wanted something a little more discret then fogs lol

Put them in your back window. If it's tinted in any way, they won't see it at all until you turn them on

I've got a police strobe light in my back window. And on the bike, I just take off like an ass to get them away from me.

ooo very good idea, thank you aken.

any other ideas welcome

Million candle power spot light. Just turn it around and flash them.

^ Thats no fun at all.

you guys think the superflux would be bright enough. I was thinking 5 each side of the bumper?

Im just thinking of things here no sure what to do as of yet.

the light off the landing strip for planes...one of my friends did that and well he didnt see it was a cop, the cop almost ran off the road lol soooooooo i mean direct powa!

Whelens.... get a talon or something and BAM! Strobe the hell out of them

personally, i just ignore them or slow down to let them pass -- i drive at my own pace...

but i like the idea of the led sign board saying "Back the **** off"

if i were tailing you, i'd find it pretty funny..and probably back off since your message was pretty clear.

these have come down in price..

I have a friend of mine that has 2 very small foglights placed right at the bottom of his back window....He was messing around with them and was about 3 cars away from me and they looked like a car coming at me...It is up to you on what to use and where to put them, but I will warn you be careful whenever you cut them on...Don't forget about people with road rage...cause that would suck if you cut them on and ended up in a ditch because of some butthole....

I drive a beat up 91 jimmy, If someone wants to attempt to run me off the road I hope they are smart enough to think of whos are is worth more. If someone is gonna run me off the road i have no problem STAYING on the road at all costs.

For he is (dun dun dun)...
THE BRICK!

Maybe find a way to use HIDs?

Just get your concealed carry license and flash your piece.

Yeah i'd say just point the shotgun backwards and fire, that should get him off your ass. I mean if you HAVE to stay in front of him AT ALL COSTS

DEont put them on the bumper. If they are tailgeting you it probly wont be up high enought to get em in the eyes.

Does this seem like the worst idea to anyone else ? Hate to throw in the dissenting opinion but its stupid and irresponsible to rear-mount a light with the intention of blinding other motorists . You're really willing to risk the lives of other drivers because someone is tailgating you ? That's ridiculous . What if that driver swerves into oncoming traffic and hits another vehicle ? Or what if you unintentionally effect other drivers behind him ? Its just a terrible idea all around and you should know better .
Those problems aside.. if I were an aggressive person prone to tailgating I would probably also be the kind of person that would get really **** off if someone was trying to blind me on the road.. it might make me do alot of different things but carefully backing off that driver and waving a little "I'm sorry" would surely NOT be amung them .
There are so many reasons not to do this .

Oh im aware the reasons not to do it, but ive had it, Ive tapped breaks, ive slowed down and still nothing. I goto work on a one lane each way highway, its not so easy to just pull to the side,

Run a line from your windshield washer sprayer out the back and spray them

When someone tails me, I just slow down. I've gotten down to 35 in a 60, then they decide to try to pass, then you floor it Just **** them off.

When someone tails me, I just speed up . Less likely I'll get pulled over with someone on my tail.. safety in numbers .

if you have a rear window windshield wiper you could always mod it to "****" on the other persons car
my ex had one on her car and it shot far
and alot of xb owners have em

just go james bond and throw up a smoke screen or drop some nail jakcs! ha

haha throw em out the window to be cheap

lol yeah

x2, anyone who tailgates will not get a chuckle out of being blinded, sprayed or threatened by the car in front of them, it will only lead to worse behavior and put a big ol' target on your car for him and his friends.

lets see.....best one so far for me is bag ur car and put some drag blocks under your car and throw sparks all over that mofo.....but that is dangerous so dont do it lol.... (do it)

this thread has lost all usefulness....
waste

either slow wayy down or spray em with your wipers.

if you blind them and they call the cops you will be the one in trouble and the tailgater will be driving away lauging.

Or just stop, get out, ask them why they are tailgating, and if they want to squabble, IT'S ON BROTHA!

Lights are almost done

haha bring that tire iron

this is a horrible idea

throw golf clubs like in that seinfeld episode.

I like the windshield washer pump idea. Fill the tank with DOT 3, man you'd get in trouble for that.

they are bright

Done and done,

end thread.

get some pics

Just remember usually when cops ride behind you, they don't just ride behind you but they ride behind you pretty closely (tailgaiting.) I'm sure you don't want to mistake a tailgaiter for a cop.

Either way, this is idiotic.

I almost never ride alone, meaning I basically always ride with someone. When someone starts tailgating me I just call up my friend that I'm with, have him pull up beside me and we just slow all the way down. I've gone down to 10mph in a 55 mph zone doing this. Oh yeah, it **** them off.
