Exclamation Stop It!!!

Recently my dad brought me a "shark tail-antenna" from Taiwan, it looks like an antenna from BMW 5 series, except it has an LED light at the very top peak, and can flash in 7 different colours, and it has sensor, so it will only flash at night, and only when it detects some vibration. Anyways, I was driving around on the highway, and some idiot kept on high-dimming at me!! WTF!! and Some just came to my front from nowhere!! JESUS CHRIST! SO RUDE!! JERKS!! I MEET THESE BASTARDS EVERYDAY!! Now, I took it off (it has two parts, bottom and top, so can be taken off easily) so there will be no conflict
I will post the picture later, maybe it is too eye-catching I guess~~

You're lucky the police didn't see it, because you probably would have gotten a ticket for an illegal light. And if it flashes, it was most likely very distracting to the other drivers.

You are the one with the alien strobe effects on your car. They were just trying to find out if you knew you had strange lights attached to your roof.

how the hell do I 'high-dim' my lights? Maybe that feature didn't make it to the US model.

a_bu_lo,

It's your choice, as long as you like it and it's legal in where you live. The "shark fin antenna" does look "cool" sometimes, but cops prolly dislike what it looks like on the top your car with vivid LEDs. Without pics, we don't know what you put up there. Could you take a few pics for us and we may get better idea how it looks? Thanks.


I got some examples from my friend...

Those are some messed up antennas. Reminds me of the clear, flashing cell phone batteries and antennas that high school girls use .

Oh the horror....the horror!! I am glad you took this hideous contraption off of your TL.

For the record I think someone has been doing some HIGH lighting :blaze:

Now on to read the manual about high dimming, high lighting and low beaming
