HID Reverse Lights Done The Right Way
This is a video of my HID reverse lights. Done with the intention of blinding tailgaters and to see through 5% Tint when backing up. I did this "the right way" by connecting a separate switch to the HID's, and keeping a filament bulb as the reverse gear light so I don't mess up my ballasts by constantly shifting to reverse or straight to Drive and causing a quick flash. The first light you see is the 55 watt filament bulb which is also recorded flashing (may appear a bit yellow or amber at times, but trust me it's white and bright too). I never flash the HIDS though, I also Have a separate button (not toggle switch) that when pressed it flashes the filament bulb as a warning, as seen in the video. If the tailgater has not responded satisfactory to the halogen bulb flashes, that's when the HID's come on. Also you will see that When the HID's come on the filament bulbs cut out, and they come back on when the HID's are off. Done with relays to prevent too much heat in the small compartment.
