Yeah, tail lights that flop down and reveal a gazillion candlepower lights, that's what I want.
But those reflector cubes are absolutely the best. Thanks for the link. (Stop me. I don't need one. Want one. No NO NO. Can see 'em from the moon you say.) Marty |

High power lights? yup, got em!
On my old car, (which is now my spare), I replaced my backup lights with 100watt halogen bulbs. When someone got a little too close, I just pushed in the clutch and and moved the stick to the reverse slot and that triggered the reverse lights. Most people backed off pretty quick.

In an old Mercedes (I was not so old at the time, this was 30 years ago) in Germany, and it had a built in, rear facing red fog light. You don't see rear facing fog lights much, but in my opinion, they are sometimes more important that front facing ones...
Anyway, when that very bright red light comes on, you back off. It is just that simple. Unfortunately, it only works that one time with each idiot. I have always been a fan of the suction cup dart concept... THe way it works is like this, everyone gets three suction cup darts, like kids play with, and a launcher. The darts have a flag on them that say they are attached to the car, because the driver is a jerk. THe darts also have a bit of crazy glue on them, so once stuck, you cannot remove them for 30 days... So, someone does something dumb or antisocial, you shoot their car with a flagged dart. Now, you drive along, and bother no one, your car is fine... Some idiot comes upon you, and it has 40 of these little flags over it, you know that no reasonable argument is going to work... A cop pulls over 3 cars in a speed trap, and one has a dozen fresh flags on it, game over... Pull a bone head move, and the flag on your car will remind you for 30 days, and then fall off. If you get to work with a flag on, you are embarrassed. If you get to work with 10 new ones, you either get a raise, or fired, depending on your position....

I love the idea of using the power side mirrors. I've never looked behind the mirrors on them, but it shouldn't be to bad to modify. Looking over these posts though, doesn't sounds like i'm the only one who's fooled with the idea . I'll head back to the junk yard and post my findings! thanks for the ideas Justin
