What is the liquid filled orangish tube in the headlights?

[Mike_W]

Just curious what it is for. Why does it have liquid in it?

It's a gage for when you pop wheelies in your Viper. If you start to go up too high it will cut off fuel to the engine to prevent you from dragging your rear facia on the street.

Hi Stiffler,

That seems to make sense, especially for someone who has made 189 posts and doesn't know what he is driving!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mike_W]

So what else is it for?

It's the Lazer Aim for Ricers!!!

It's the Lazer Aim for Ricers!!!

I thought it was the balance tube for the flux capacitor....

 

[SylvanSRT]

it is for the homelink transmitter for your garage door.

Mike - you can't be that naive can you?

If you are then truthfuly it is for leveling the headlamps. Open the hood on just about any other car and you will see similar levels. They are just normally hidden when the hood is closed.

But on the other hand if you are just exercising the keyboard ... they are lasers for nailing slow cars in the left hand lane.

I really didn't know what they were for. That makes sense now. Thanks.

My driveway is slanted so it wouldn't work for me tho.

Come on guys -- he really wants to know. Mike, if you look in the little hatch between the seats there is a switch that turns those babies on. Be careful though, because when they light up they are lethal. They are only to be used if someone pulls you in a race. That's how we've kept our perfect record, no other brand of car "has been known" to beat a Viper (of course a few have disappeared). Just don't get over zealous and turn them on a Viper buddy that might have pulled you! Remember you have taken an oath never to let our little secret out . . .

Ah Ha! So they work like the flashy memory thing in MIB!

------>Runs to look for that switch---->

 

[JWVIPER]

And i thought they bubled for effects like the old XMASS lights when you hit High speeds

 

[Paul Hawker]

Thought it was for checking that the drag strip was actually level. ;&gt

 

[99GTSACR]

Come on guys. That's the g-force sensors.

 

[Steve Miehe]

It's glue. The resin is in the right headlamp assy and the hardener is in the left. Mix them together and ya got epoxy!

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

It's DEX-COOL. Unless it's green, then it's the regular coolant.

 

[jkracer9]

Great answers and now I am going to the Viper cave to try then out the in the dark. I saw the small switch but was never in a safe place to activate it.
coolant, drag strip leveler, G Force, could it be that they are all of the above and that is why everyone had a different answer because no one has actually used every option available for them?
That's what I get for not finishing my new owners manual, just didn't know.

 

[Jay Herbert]

Had to do with aiming headlights, if it is set up right at the headlight manufacturer.... of which most sadly were not. So, since it really does not work well for that, it can be used to induce shock and awe as both a laser weapon and a 60K garage floor level.

 

[ViperRay]

I've got news for all you guys...if your fluid is orange, it's long overdue for a fluid change!

 

[STUGOTS]

ok now IM wondering what does this thing really do ?

mines also oranger but I had no idea it was fluid tho

 

[Rollin4]

Come on Guys..tell it like it is. They are used to adjust the Bass and Treble for the in the hood speakers.

Oh crap! You better tell Manny ASAP! He's been having problems with his hood speakers!

 

[Hisserman]

Why did I know that this thread would get merged with the hood speaker thread . . .?!!! Oh well, they've been the two most entertaining threads on the site for quite some time.
