So, this is a large light unit aimed out the rear window? You use it if people behind you have their high beams on?

I have to ask, how is that legal in any state? Other than back up lights while in reverse, or lights on a license plate, to my knowledge such a light unit would not be allowed anywhere. Perhaps I'm missing something?

I’d respectfully suggest you let your beautiful, refined Lexus continue to look like a beautiful, refined Lexus.

This is most likely going to cause more issues than solve them. Stay safe out there....

Well if the LIGHT BAR LAWS BY STATE table in the ARE LIGHT BARS LEGAL? article is correct, Mrbungle11's 9120 lumen (725.5 candlepower) light bar is illegal in New York state because it is too bright for an auxiliary light. From the table entry for New York state:

While not technically illegal, all auxiliary lights cannot exceed 32 candlepower (402 lumens). There are no light bars made with less than 32 candlepower.

Got rid of ducking in my car when I get high beams from behind!!! I don’t like tints since these have a very beautiful interior color!!!
Seems like a good way to incite the kind of road rage you might enjoy far less than simply ducking or adjusting your mirror.

This is tacky. i'm going to venture a guess that you are in the 18-25 age range and that this is a family car, perhaps partially or fully under a parents name?

edit: and wow noticed those large pieces of scrap metal just haphzardly jutting out of the rear parcel shelf lol.

it's new york.. the car is on the street, and in another post he mentions "his" 2023 s class. usually it's a younger dude modding moms and pops cars, but trying to pass it off as his by casually mentioning them/flexing them on posts.

usually coupled with juvenile mods, it's usually a younger dude.

Why all the guessing about Mrbungle11's age?

If the user profile is correct, his age is 46.

You could accomplish the same thing with something much more classy. I've bought a lot of LED's from this company and recommend them: https://www.vleds.com/lpx-13-red-white.html
