Thread: Defeating the purpose ?

I found the fact of advertising their car after it got rammed slightly defeating the purpose of installling thoselights...

Look! They all still work!!

..............along with the Lake Twp Ohio SUV that was thrown by a twister... neither of those incidents could be attributed to inadequate lights. Getting rear ended potentially implies failure of rear warning. The point OP is trying to make is that getting rear ended isn't a good selling point for lights. Still working after getting intentionally rammed or thrown through the air is.

Since it looks to be a demo vehicle it probably didn't have the lights on when it was hit. Also I don't see why they would brag on the toughness of the lights, the vehicle was struck on the passenger rear corner, no lights to an impact. It does show how ineffective these lights are in the daylight, also, unless they re-wired the LP light then they had a lot of unnecessary slack in that wire.

Based on the brightness of the lights in daylight, it wouldn't have mattered if they were on or not.

they look like homemade lights to me. plus if those lights were on must have been possibly illegally because it's a demo...

The crap lights and limo window tint didn't help in the crash!!

i dont think they were on when they crashed just saying lol but hg2 prouducts are shitti IMO i had a set before they even came out on the market to demo them on a unit and they were horrible
