    Get over it.

    Countless threads about this exact thing.


    I have a 2010 Volvo 630 vnl and I wish I had a headlight interrupt. So depending on circumstances I flash or turn the switch.

    I got some cheap prescription night driving glasses on Zenni. I prefer the yellow 50% aviators.

    To comment on the thread. I never flash. I do a lot of night driving and do dim on occasion.

    In defense of OP: I believe that is never enough treads like that. And if You don't have interrupt switch: turn off and on the light one...

    I'll stop if you stop talking to your buddy for two hours about Bobby Sue's wedding and your sister's loser husband on CH 19

    I love it when you're the only two vehicles within sight and they're flashing you back as soon as you're clear of their nose. :|

    For those who DON'T have an interrupt, here is what you do....NOTHING. When I had my own truck, I had off road halogen's mounted on the top and bottom of my mirror mount. You know the one's that are almost as bright as a plane or train...and had them wired into a heavy duty starter button thru a relay. Flash me, and you got flashed back. That was until during a level 1 I was informed that unless those are for backing, they were illegal. And since I didn't have them wired into my backup switch I was advised to remove them.
