It's just repetitive button pushes as many as you want. Matter fact I was in my girlfriends car today, and I almost kicked myself for not taking the HOE, but since we were gonna do alot of city driving and stops I wanted to be Efficient. Anyway, this douche in a Range Rover was on my ass got me very mad, now shes getting this mod on her car.

I still haven't gotten around to doing this. Have the parts, just haven't had the time or weather to spend a day with the truck out of commission.

I will get to it, though. I may skip the flashing feature. I kinda like it, but it's not really necessary and knowing me would cause more trouble than it's worth....lol.

id recommend you dont do it. For one, you can get in big trouble for that. second you can really blind that tailgater and make them crash.

Ok my 2 cents for the debate, I have used this setup on a "gater" twice and both times no accidents just worked out in my favor. 1 high beams were dimmed and 2 "gater" back off, in fact he just went around like he should have in the first place rather than try to intimidate me, which they aren't, but a frail ol' lady behind the wheel maybe. < Bigger accident risk there.

If you're going to do the tailgater switch make sure the 'tailgater' isn't a cop trying to run your tag. They get right up on people all the time.

Alrighty, getting ready to do this. But have a few questions.

You say no modding to the tail light housing but you need a mounting bracket. Where do I get that and how do I mount it?

Second, I just need the switch for the HIDs, no tailgater mod. You said not to use a plain switch cause it will burn out. What do I use instead and how? Thanks!
