Say I wanted to tint my rear window to 5% this actually seems like a great idea, and I definately love that tailgater switch, that is just too good. Even as is for somereason I can hardly see when I back up.

To rich, I think just about anyHID is going to work since youre going to have to custom fab it into the rear tail, I really dont think its going to be as easy as a ballast instal and simple bulb twist in, all though that would be great

That is the reason I wanted to do this in the first place.I always have a problem seeing threw the tint backing up at night. But the tailgater switch makes it definitly a 007 mod to back off the ass riders.

I guess if you really can't see at night then its a good idea.

Other than that it seems like a waste of $$$. The HIDs won't be on long enough to warm up

I have toyed with the idea of putting fog lights in the hatch spoiler on my Civic though.

Ya'know, for towing things

Only for a couple of seconds.You would'nt have to wait for a person behind you trying to back out at the same time,they would throw the brakes on.I know I would. I dont like being a ass,no would I want to cause anybody a accident/or kill anyone,but what if you angled these up for those 18 wheelers That ride everybodys ass because they think they own the 2nd lane.I went for a two hour journy 1 way the other night and had atleast 5 trying to push me over even when they already made me go 10 mph over trying to be polite.On a long cruize I'll be damed if I'm gonna drive in the slow lane just to have to switch back and forth when on ramps come up.

i drive 60mph in my tl-p and no truckers ever ride my ass. as long as u dont cut them off or hit the brakes alot, they can be your friends. its not easy driving and merging those trucks on the highway. u can do the reverse hids with a switch, so if anyone rides ur ass u flip the switch and blind them. wont have any affect on truckers.

Yup, and Im continuing it.

The speed limits here range from 55 to 65. I typically do 75 and rarely have any issues with truckers. If they are coming up to me fast, I move over. I dont like pissing them off. They have radios and can easily contact police.

The only trucks I hate are the ones that ride down I64 in the left lane doing 60mph. Theres only two lanes and they refuse to move.

Id be careful with having a switch hooked up to the reverse lights though. A cop may not be amused by the use of them.

One of my LED reverse lights went out last night....POS

This idea sounds cool on paper, but I think you would totally blind people in the process, not to mention I'm sure you could find cheaper, easier alternatives.

Someone pops something like that on me for being too close and they'll find themselves with a nice ticket in a hurry and maybe even a smashed up rear end that they'd be paying for.

Looks like a pos cop is putting in his 2. Anyway go find a job you can be proud of and people respect you fag. Even in a car forum you attempt to bully someone cuz your that pos.I dont understand why you pos's think your high and mighty.Keep in mind the world does not revolve around you, its a big place with lots of people on lots of differnt levels,some that could be very altering aquintences.Come crash into my car. I have 0$ deductabile and a extra $3000.Richard Parker 1146 mitchell st Shelby NC. Beter yet,look me up,I know you have 1-800-ussearch on your computer in your favorites* 90 settlers rd plymouth mass 02360.Then tell me if you think your crashing into the wrong guys car.FAG.Whens the last time you were even in a fight,not wresting with your queer cop buddys,not putting down a suspect with multiple queer cop buddys,and not punking the wife.Actually standing toe to toe.Yea thats what I thought,when you was a little kid you had some scrap thou huh.ha ah ha."P@$$Y Yup I'm having a bad day.

I don't give a f**k how tough you are, how well you can fight, or how many f**king guns you own to protect yourself. I'll show up at your house when you aren't at home. I'll turn all the lights on in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. I'll turn your air conditioning on high and open all the windows. I'll turn your cable box on and order 20 pay per view channels at once, and I'll pick up your phone and dial a pay-per-minute sex line in Japan. I'm going to run your utility bills up so f**king high that you can't pay them. You're going to start stressing the f**k out, your blood pressure will triple, and you'll have a f**king heart attack. You'll go to the hospital for heart operation, and the last thing you'll see when you're being put under in the operating room is me hovering above you, dressed up like a doctor. When you wake up after the operation, you'll be scared for your f**king life, wondering what I did to you while you were being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You'll recover fully from your heart surgery. And when you walk out the front door of that hospital to go home, I'll run you over with my f**king car out of nowhere and kill you.

I do have a sense of humor,And thats some funny sh@$ cuz I know your talking sh@#.But Just incase your not,I copyed your whole post and I'm sure with a little investigation that a name and face can be matched up, and with your "running me over and kill me" thret would probally get your stupid ass suspended if not terminated fool.Now that would be some funny sh#!.Check me out"kid that grew up in aptment complexes can be deputy too.Nah ,No 50 here.but like I said you guys are the same as everyone else.You would think a protector of the law would know not to talk threating to anyone.

wtf is going on.
richardparker, ever think that the cops give u a hard time, bc u drive reclessly, talk back to the cops, look suspicious ( not color, dark tints, stumble in words, cant look them straight in the eyes, bad recode)???

i was being a dick to a cop once too, not a good turn out for me. i have also gotten let go for $250 tint tickets, loud music,... be straight up with the cop. do what he asks and just maybe he will reduce the ticket or let u go.

theweez, their are plenty of ppl on here like richard. just let it go before the mods start warning both of u (i think u got that coming anyway) and then ban one or both of you. and plus, if any of the above would happen to richard or u, and they find this thread, it will be your ass.

what u can do is call ur buddies over in richards area, and give him a hard time. but i wouldnt go any further than that
