Why in the everloving tiny dick big truck driving hell would you attach four bright white LED lights *to the back of your truck*?
He drove past me in daylight and I wear polarised sunglasses. The lights were still obnoxious once he'd moved over 100m ahead of me.
@kaehlys see that is a call the police for a dangerous driver situation to me guises under a wellness or concern for the driver situation. Are they I’ll? Are they drunk? Are they clueless? Are the dipshits? That is for the popo to find out. Lol
@Thumprhare @kaehlys
I've seen that before. I suspect it may be an anti-tailgating measure. Most likely illegal.
@voltronic @Thumprhare @kaehlys
They're supposed to be used for hunting/camping only and most states require a kill switch so that they can't be used while the vehicle is in gear.
Seeee it could be totally accidental…and the police can let them know. Win. Win.

One of my in laws has one of those high-power LED bars on his truck, but only facing forward. He does use it for finding his deer stand, but I know he doesn't have a kill switch.
@voltronic @Thumprhare @Render My sister and her husband have them wired up to the high beams on their vehicles.
They're so ridiculously bright you can't turn the high beams on if you're following someone closer than several hundred metres, even if you can't see well enough with the low beams.
@voltronic I hate those LEDs with a passion. I wish LED head lights were illegal @Render @kaehlys

My son's work crew has a couple pickups with pretty bright light kits on the back. One has them on the cab and one is actually on the tailgate. They tell me they use the tailgate lights when they're hooking up trailers after dark. The cab-mounted ones are used to illuminate the truck bed as they muck around with tools and junk.
However...I can't think of a reason to have them on when driving. That's just mean or ignorant. And dangerous.
