Is the amount of people that drive around with one headlight out. I’m not sure whether this is a local Greenville SC phenomenon or a national phenomenon, but I noticed it somewhat recently.

Back in late 2018 I met this girl from the internets and saw her for about two months. At the beginning of that time she had an RDX with a headlight out; while it was rectified while I was somewhat seeing her, it made me realize just how many people drive with one headlight out.

Was it so long ago you don’t remember when?

That looks like a generic version of an Acura CUV. Like some video game rendered it but couldn’ t license the actual brand.

I mean, I don’t think the RDX was ever a style powerhouse. Sort of just there.

That’s when they say he lost his only friend.

It’s all over.

What makes it even better is most people KNOW they have a headlight out, because they constantly drive around with their high beams on to try to hide it!

It does look a little odd here, not sure why . But normally the first-gen RDX was one of their better designs, just like the first-gen TSX (Euro Accord).

I mean, that’s what I sort of figured, but it’s only been somewhat recent I’ve noticed how prolific it is here.

Every time I think I see a headlight out on a modern car, it’s just because they’re using their turn signal. Weird and stupid LED phenomenon/law .

There’s also a 99% chance they have a warning light on their dash about it too.

I would say it’s gotten way worse in the last year or so.

My drive to work generally consists of the same 4 people getting all my lights after I give them the initial warning flash.

They get the hint once this is in their face:

I want one of those for my wagon. These German SUV people seem to have brights on and then only switch them off after we are almost passed them. There needs to be a limit.

Probably because the dealer quoted them something silly to change it?

“Ah yes, Ms. Future-E90M3, we see the headlight is burned out on your RDX. This high performance vehicle uses liquid polymeric molybdenum bulbs, so with the labor to install them, that’ll come to $450.”

I have not seen many cyclops cars out there but am increasingly unsure if someone is driving with their high beams on or not... Particularly the new Jeep Wrangler/Renegade/uglyasspickup with their super bright headlights at my eye level. I just don’t know what is real anymore...

I need that. In Milwaukee, there’s a lot of people who drive with high beams on and ignore my quick flash.  Then I leave my high beams in their face and they get pissed.

Padiddle. Learned that in college from a girl friend. Then you’re supposed to kiss the girl next to you.  That’s what she said anyway.

When I was a teenager it was say padiddle, touch the roof, last one to touch the roof takes off an article of clothing.

Good tradition. Except I was usually in a car full of guys at that age.

Maybe if she didn’t care, but she got it fixed in the short time I was seeing her.

In that case, the ballast went out.

My girlfriend now drives a Corolla.

I saw a Prius today that had both it’s passenger side headlight, and it’s passenger side taillight out. So now I’m wondering if cars can have strokes or something.

Regardless, I didn’t note whether the driver looked like someone I’d like to date or not.

High beam users wasn’t my intended purpose for mine, but it does the job very well.

The 2 mounted on the rear of the basket work excellent for people following with their high beams on as well.

Their original intent wasn’t that either.

Does that make me an A ccidental Evil Genius?

Thankfully we usually had a near 50/50 ratio, sometimes in a van! Made road trips more fun.
