Exclamation Lights Shining Directly Into Everones Back Window

Im wondering if anyone has a solution for my lights shining into peoples rear windows. They seem to be getting ****ed off. I know many of you probably wouldnt care, but I live in Chicago where there is alot of nutty people with handguns and roadrage . If there is a simple solution such as light covers let me know. Thanks Tim

Yes, aim them down. There are adjustment screws around the light.

should have a hex shaped head on them. they arent very exposed. That is if they're anything like mine, and I cant imagine a huge difference in a 93 and a 95.

Get brighter lights so when they aim they will be blinded and carry a shotgun.

when i pull up behind someone at night like at a stop light or drive-thru i either dont pull up as far as i normally would or i turn off the headlights and leave the running lights on (i think it looks pretty mean with just the running lights anyways)! i usually will get a thank you or a wave. this way it looks like you actually care

unless its a ricer then i shine them as brightly as i can inside! lol what's funny is when they get behind me they shine their lights at me and think i am blind but my tailgate keeps all their light out! lol. it's pretty funny!

Just wait till they high beem you and then blast them with your Kc lights. They brobably won't do it again. Actually most Fords are lower in the front stock. When you lift them they usually level out and you should adjust the headlights down. If you live in Ca. I could check the vehicle code and tell you where to adjust them to so you don't get in trouble. Nothing like having a cop high beem you and you do it back. let the games begin.

LOL I do what Fishy does in the drive thru. Its funny though tailgating some stupid ricer with the headlights blairing in their car. Headlights blairing and coming down the road at night seem to get people out of your way pretty quick which is cool. I get flashed alot also and love it when I flash them back. It makes them feel real stupid!
