    Not to defend the swastidumpster but…

    The pop-up lights are dangerous just because the mechanical parts that make them pop up can fail and you won’t have any lights.

    Being blinding bright is somewhat safer than not being visible at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      You’re right, of course. That and the added collision risk if they do get hit while the lights are up. Still, going over a hood is much safer than under.
