Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / March 2006Is This Lighting Stock?
I saw a Mercedes C230 Turbo this evening which appeared to be equipped with high-intensity strobe lights for its "flash to pass" lights. The pulses of light that came from this car seemed to be too quick and precisely regular to have been the result of the driver simplly flicking the lever manually. One thing I'm sure of: it's VERY attention-getting. Is this a stock feature? Or just another customization a la the blue headlight bulbs and the neon lights that mount underneath the car?  SignatureOfficial Member of the Rebate Rage Club Kinda like cop car lights? >Kinda like cop car lights? Kinda, but not behind the grille - these were the regular headlight bulbs. The car was behind me, so I caught the flashes in my peripheral vision (via the rear view mirrors). By the time I turned my head, the headlight bulb was dimming from the last flash. SignatureWhat the heck, I'll play too. - Dave > I saw a Mercedes C230 Turbo this evening which appeared to be equipped > with high-intensity strobe lights for its "flash to pass" lights.

Yep, and the one I'm thinking of has them running at speed against traffic, both cars involved flashing their brights like strobes.

Never saw that one - I'll have to add it to my watch list. ;) SignatureWhat the heck, I'll play too. - Dave >>Ever seen "Ronin"? > > No - what is it? The movie that finally beat the standard set by "Bullitt" for car chase scenes. Assuming that you're into movies with little to no plot, but lots of car chases, people shooting at each other, and sh.t blowing up, it's f*cking great. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I have it on DVD :) nate Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel |
