Wow nice! Was it hard to wire up? Is it on a switch?
"Back off!" Tailgater switch
Finally able to find time to get this done. Didn't take long at all! I decided to do this mod because of all the tailgaters out there. Really annoying when you're lowered too.
Note: These should only be used as a last resort. And only flashed as you would an oncoming driver who left the high beams on! Blinding people behind you is asking them to rear end you Use responsibly
So! I rigged up a line that will run power into the reverse lighting at the flick of a switch. And as some of may now, my Custom reverse LED setup is nice and bright.
Power tapped using an add-a-fuse with my DRL circuit.

Studied a wiring diagram to figure out that all I need is to run the power to the unified wire powering the reverse lights. For an MT, it is a single green dotted wire that can be found behind the driver side seat.

Unfortunately, my driver side LED projection bulb is out that's why the trailer is not as illuminated as the walkway.

Lol! You didn't read any of my poetry
It was pretty easy to wire up. Actually very simple.
I have it on a toggle switch so I can use when brake warning doesn't work on tailgaters.
haha i read it, but im not very good at wiring looks complicated to me LOL but thats a nifty little mod that looks pretty useful

Tailgating is illegal. So is driving too slow (I think?). But this isn't for driving slow situations
this is people who tailgate no matter how fast your going, or no matter how slow you go to let them by. Most cases you can't let them go by if its a single lane (and I'm not pulling onto the broken gravel shoulder just to let a jerk go by because he can't wait 15 seconds) Sent from AutoGuide.com App
If they're really tailgating badly, I just downshift on them. It's not good for the tranny, but it gets the message across.

I live in a city that is described by "newly wed or nearly dead". It's young people who suck at driving (a lot of new university students too), or really old people.If they're really tailgating badly, I just downshift on them.
If I slow down without signaling them, they will rear end me. I don't want to deal with that lol.
You should be rev matching, then you're fine
even a quick double clutch for good measure.
