I wonder if this has happened to any of you....

After an another-coat-of-paint-we-woulda-hit-sideswipe-in-an-extreme-downpour-at-night incident on a local freeway, I was told (by my passengers) that my ride is very difficult to see from the side because the color (cabernet red; looks like burgundy) seems to absorb light even tho the vehicle lighting was operating correctly.

I've never encountered this before & wondered if any other "cabernet red" owners have been told/noticed this....Tnx for any replies in advance...

I would think that would apply to any dark color. It's probably more of a case of drivers not paying attention on the road.

Most cars are invisible to me because I have Contour headlights!!!!!!

Thankfully were able to modify high beam bulbs to fit the low beam socket.

At the time of this incident, it was raining hard enough to "glare out" lane markers altho I could see other dark colored vehicles. Around this neck of the woods, drivers not paying attention seems to be the norm.....I wonder if the side running light mod would help...
