Default Well that's besides the point isn't it?..........

The problem is that your headlights are pissing people off in the first place. High beaming them back doesn't exactly solve the problem. The roads are not a battle zone. High beaming people for no reason is dangerous, and retaliation because they flashed you is simply childish.

Perhaps your headlights are aimed too high?

Default Perhaps not? They ARE aligned properly... Perhaps...

It is because these rednecks have never seen a up-market car before?

Default Perhaps.......but aren't rednecks accustomed to pickup truck headlights?.......

ya know, two feet higher and 3 times brighter than your average passenger car?

At any rate, how does retaliation with massive high beams help the situation? Not a good idea to blind on-coming traffic.

Default I was thinking more to deal with A**holes like I described in a reply..

The ones that think I am high beaming them..then slow down just to tailgate me...And high beam me...Most of them in trucks...2x higher and 3x brighter? Right..and those are the low beams

In that case, perhaps machine guns are in order =)

Definitely something quick firing...Make sure they can't grab their shotgun from the passenger seat!

Too expensive - they should be like 30 bucks tops. Try Eurolites, by Toucan Industries.
