I dont blame them. When I had my stang I was pissed as well. The F150 lights match up woth the rearview and blind drivers. If you ever owned a sports car thats low to the ground you know what slapshot and I are talking about.

I think a system where you turn on a button and pull a leaver, and it starts welding on a very high amperage. Might not have much candle power, but it's bright and does wonders to the eyes.

Its was time i think

Okay again tonight it has happened again this time a jeep 4x4 sport, Is my truck still to high, no i think not!. This guy slammed on his brakes as i passed him and got right on my *** and kept turning on his high beams. This has little effect on me but i am thinking they are all vampires. I did take some of your kind hearted ideas and incorperate them into what i call corded SUN. It is a 3,000,000 power spot light from a friend. First i flicked on my high beams to let this zombie know i did not have the high's on but he seemed to be over the edge a bit at this time. I simply opened the rear slider and pushed the button. I would swear the truck picked up speed as the beam found its victim and it worked he slowed and moved back into the right lane allowing me to relax and just drive as i do each night. (50 miles each way to work). Oyea i only beamed him for 2 seconds.... but next time ummmm.

Hey buckdropper,

Maybe you should get your headlight adjustment checked. It seems you get alot action , just maybe they are mis-adjusted.

Had the headlights checked for proper alignment they were fine. Drivers beware the "corded sun" may find you if you are not careful. I think i gave the guy a quick tan....

For people who lift and lower their trucks, isn't there like a formula saying that if you go up or down some many inches that you have to adjust the headlights so many degrees as well to compensate for the height adjustment of the actual vehicle ??? It would really suck driving if you lifted a truck alot and then the lights would just drift off into space ahead of you. They would never light the road at any point in time. Anyone know ???

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'

What I hate is when someone is coming in the opposite direction and flash their high beams at you, therefore blinding you. I have turned on my bright lights and then back to lowbeams to let them no that I didn't have high beams on and the flash their lights again. Then they flash back at you again. Drives me crazy.

Thumbs up

Hmmm, I have euro headlights and xenon bulbs, and this stuff almost never happens to me. I think you guys headlights are all misaligned?? If they do flash at me boy are they ever sorry
You could always put the hitch in, and a longer than normal extension. They get on your azz, stand on the brakes and puncture their radiator. Give it about a minute for them to lose enough coolant to overheat, and you're home free. Of course I'm joking, lol,,,,98
