Not sure I'd recommend that.  The very last time I punished someone
who'd passed me with his brights on, he fell back alongside and aimed
a pistol at me.  That was in VA in 1972.

A friend once thought about designing a rig with an aiming CO2 laser
-- invisible beam and he thought the lamp reflector would focus
enough energy on the filament to blow it.  That would be more my
style if I were going to get shirty...
