Redneck Problem - Honda Prelude Forum

importzboi · 02-24-2002, 08:55 PM

I hate driving my car (92 SI) at night when there's a dam jacked up redneck mobile.. (insert any ford or gmc or chevy truck or suv) that has their lights in my eye. I know my neighbor has his altezzas hooked up so that these bright hyperwhite lights come on when he brakes, but are there any ways to do that with stock oem taillights? I am juss not a big fan of altezzas and if i cleared out my taillight turn signals i could blind them bastards back? Any suggestions?

my friend had a jeep, we mounted some fogs on the back of his car, whenever someone would come up and ride his ass they would get some 80 watt bulbs glowing at them.... I doubt you would want to do this with a prelude though

You could put 'hyperwhite' bulbs in your stock assemblies, but I don't think they would make a strong difference. Road rage isn't cool

Try letting them pass. If your car is low enough, and their 'redneck mobile' is high enough, and you step on your brakes...would you slide under furious style?

My friend had the exact same thing on his Accord! When he installed it, I sat in my car behind his so he can aim them exactly to the drivers seat!

I use the patented "Galura (my last name) heel/toe-brake-check" method.

Basically it looks like your braking which scares the crap out of them. I put my toe over the brake and heel over the gas I slightly tap the brakes so that I'm not actually braking, but my brake lights come on, 1 second later use your heel to give gas while still tapping the brakes, which confuses them because your taking off but your braking at the same time and after that their brains go into overload and they are like 5 car lengths behind you.

Wire a switch to make it look like your braking.

That's a GRREAT idea... Anyone know where the + wire is to the brake lights?

Nawww, I like the Galura Heel/Toe Brake check method. Takes a little skill. It was pretty hard to develop, at first I used to try and do the brake tapping with my left foot which is a big

.
Because, your left foot has never braked before and if you try to brake tap it get real ugly, real fast. The redneck behind you WILL have to brake

i used to have an 85 bronco fullsize and i used to beat on it pretty bad off-road... i had 4 KC Daylighters (BRIGHT ASS off-road lights) on a lightbar... the day before i got stuck and had to back out of the trail i was on so u turned all the lights to point backwards. some guy in a caddy was riding my ass really hard so i flipped the lighs on and lit him up like a deer in a field with a spotlight. he was SOOOOO pissed. it was really really funny... my buddy had a jeep cherokee and he used to unplug the little hose that supplied the rear windshield wiper sprayer with cleaner, so whenever he hit the button if would spray in a nice little arc about 15-20 feet back.. if someone was sitting behind you at a light you should shoot washer fluid all over the hood and whidshield of his/her car.... that one almost got us in fistfights a couple times... it seems that the guys in their freshly waxed mustangs didnt take to kindly to it...

Guys (if that's what you want to call them) in freshly waxed Crustangs don't take kindly to anything. They're all too pissed off that other guys in 4 bangers beat them.
