Answer:
He sounds a little desperate to me. I've never heard that one. I do know there is a light sold that you put on the dash next to the windshield. It is red and/or purple and it's suppose to remove the glare from on coming vehicle lights and other objects. Kind of like polarized sunglasses for night driving. I also think drivers think their cool looking so they put them there. I will say I've seen a lot of male drivers with them running down the road.

Answer:
I've never heard that one - I've been told that if you leave a maplight on that they'll leave you alone, but I don't know how true that is.
Considering though that the purple dash lights are pretty popular with Billy Bigriggers, I'd think that they might draw the horizontal highway hostesses to your truck.

Answer:
If you put your purple lights on make sure you have a fly swatter

Answer:
That is a new and original one. Much more refreshing than some I've heard. It probably would be as useful as the lotlizard stickers that guys put on their windows. Never stopped them for a minute. I was at teh Flying J in Indy a while back and had my optimized idle set, and the engine was off, and just as a lizard pounded on my door the buzzer went off warning that the engine was starting. They thought it was an alarm and took off running . I looked out and saw them hauling a$$ across the lot!

Answer:
Supposedly, they sell the non-glare light at truckstops, I don't know if they work or not. I drove a freightliner for Millis, that had a purple and red lights to stop glare, but I never thought they did much good. Besides I'm not afraid of the dark!

Answer:
If you drive in or into Canada, what ever color light that close to the windshield is illegal. Out east they dont seems to bother with the enforcement, but out west they will crack down on you and give you a ticket. Make sure if you put these lights in, that they are on a separate switch, but it a power switch or a cut out switch.
BUMP!

Answer:
Just how is a Lot Lizard supposed to see your purple dash lights? Except from the INSIDE OF YOUR TRUCK!
Get real here boys & girls! Lot Lizards ain't gonna bother you (most likely anyways), unless you advertise, wanting their services.

well, you put them in the window on top of your dash.

Answer:
Rainey, LoriAz, let's stop for a moment and think this through...
If a woman driver was to put purple lights on the top of her dashboard to let the "Horizontal Highway Hostesses" know that, she too, was a member of the same sex - don't you think that every homicidal psychopathic serial rapist between the North Pole and the Equator would also know that?
So, when the aforementioned homicidal psychopathic serial rapist decided to murder and rape (or rape and murder) a female truck driver, he'd know exactly which truck(s) contained likely prospects for his next victim!
Now, if it is true that the purple lights are to stop the "Recreational Reptiles" from wasting their precious time inquiring if you'd like to partake of their services - do you REALLY want to put them on your truck?
Remember - the less anyone out here knows about you, the better off you are!

Answer:
i know this. i'm not stupid. obviously i don't want to advertise that i'm a woman, duh. my recruiter said this to me, which, i found absurd, but i wondered if the purple lights were an effective way of letting lot lizards know you weren't interested.
