QUOTE(Acadian @ Dec 27 2022, 05:06 PM)  I put some of those on my MGB back in the early 1970's to be able to see much farther on dark roads at night when going too fast.
Oh, don't you think you can slide that in there hoping no one would notice!  QUOTE(Acadian @ Dec 27 2022, 05:06 PM)  Then in the 1990's I had some on the roof of my Baja Bug (chopped VW beetle-based dune buggy). We called them driving lights.
That car is required to have those lights on the roof by law*, so I'm glad you had them  It's weird there's no better name for them apparently. It actually baffles me *Not really

Down here in Khajiitland, we always refer to those kind of lights as “KC Lights” regardless of what brand they actually are  Mrs. Khajiit has another name for them which refers to the general type of person who has them down here, but it’s not a nice term, and I don’t think it applies to anyone here so I’ll keep it to myself, lol This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Dec 28 2022, 04:22 PM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 27 2022, 02:33 AM)  I thought you knew, sorry  External highbeam headlights, whatever they're actually called. Here, we called them off-road lights, KC being the most popular brand. I never used them, settled for big fog lamps instead.

The latter usually have them incorrectly located, badly adjusted, and turned on at the wrong time. Most European cars come with fog lights, and there are always people who turn them on all the time. The same models in the USA typically don’t have them, because people would do that. This post has been edited by ghastley: Dec 29 2022, 07:26 PM

Yeah, around here, it’s mostly kids that add them to their ridiculous jacked up trucks and jeeps because they think they look cool. They do like to drive around with them on and it can make it hard to see if they get behind you.

When that happens I always turn on my warning/hazard blinkers and don't turn them off until they turn their highbeams off. It actually works. Of course if I meet someone with highbeams on I turn my own on too. Not to be a jerk but it's the only way I can tell them to turn them off. With these new ones on that'll be even more effective

Can't believe this year is nearly over with, I hope 2023 is a little better than this year has been. Buying this playset was the best purchase I ever made. This post has been edited by Dark Reaper: Dec 30 2022, 02:49 AM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 31 2022, 03:03 AM)  Ooh, a bullpup! Well, it's certainly nice but for me to see well in the dark I wouldn't say it's better than highbeams  What caliber is it? 12 gage. I'll get it out of layaway as soon as my license comes in so I can pick it up.
