Lightbulb A bright idea

When i travel on 95N going through the meadowlands in NJ, I noticed I get a shit ton of bugs all over my car and windshield. Whenever I go through that area I always get at least of couple, but at night in my cl, i get a ton.
I didn't really understand it, and I thought those lil bastards were jsut out to get me. My other car didn't get as many, my bros doesnt get as many.

So i thought to myself, what could be the reason for all these extra bugs.

The HIDs! Do you think the bugs are really that much more attracted to a brighter light that they flock in front of my car at 75mph? I guess soo cuz I have about 20000 martyrs to prove it.

In order to get those bad boys off i think i am gonna use meguiars bug wipes. That way i don't dirty any of my clean towels with bug guts. Any other suggestions, besides shutting off my headlights while driving through that area.

Turn off your headlights and go twice as fast. That way the bugs can't keep up if they do see you!

Nope, you are just in an infested area. My old Taurus used to get more bugs. Oh and if you didn't know, they didn't come with HID's.

Yeah. Since I put HID's in my Teg, I cannot tell any amount of change over the halogens

Can always put one of those bug zappers in your grille
