A good idea would be to have a nice convex mirror installed behind the left rear passenger headrest. You don't see it, it doesn't bother the rear passengers and the mirror is aimed specifically at those who drive with their high beams on while riding your ass.

They would in effect be blinded by their own high beams. That wy you don't have to mess with your side mirror settings.

They probably won't see your brake lights either, or your entire car, so you might be bothered by collision like things happening to you.

I know you said this in jest, but I just had to put my in.

I always wanted to put a high powered driving light on the rear bumper, and switch it on when someone rode my ass with high beams on, but of course I never did.

I've seen big rigs with those. If your high beams are on and you're blinding them from behind, they'll shine a VERY powerful, but very focussed light at you to let you know they are being blinded. It doesn't stay on so that it blinds you, but it flashes you two or three times.
