Just curious, what is the purpose of vivid side lighting????? Although it sounded like a good idea to some politicians, I have never, ever heard of one accident caused by a person who saw your completely visible headlights and/or taillight, but could not, for the life of them, see the little side markers. And, the mounting of the lights is so low that it is well below the line of sight of any truck or SUV. I am not faulting you, as you can put a string of Christmas lights on if you want. I just don't see the actual "I can be seen better at night" advantage.

In bumper to bumper you might expect a little nudge or bump. This was a bang, window shattered and fell in. I had to prop it up with my arm while I chased the other driver down. Arm was bleeding pretty bad but paramedics check for embedded glass, bandaged me up and it was fine.
