Most lights that illuminate the bed are pointed downward, so its not necessarily directly "in the officers eyes". The real problem is: They usually create a glare on the rear glass, and the interior light is not strong enough to overcome it. The occupants are therefore hard to see.JLaw wrote:Hmm, I didn't know they were that bright at night. I may have to try an experiment when the sun goes down to see it from the officer's perspective.Glockamolie wrote:A warning about the dome light in certain vehicles, namely pickup trucks: If you turn on the dome light inside (not the map lights), it may also turn on the white light that lights the bed area, thus blinding the oncoming police officer trying to see what you're doing through the window. Be sure you know your vehicle.
