to Duct tape over neighbours dazzling driveway lights?

Well..., DH did it actually, and I told him not to. He did it anyway, saying that their house lights were off. It was 10.15pm, and he didn't want to knock on their door if they were in bed.

The neighbours across the road from us, installed and had on for the first time, their new driveway lights, which are huge, bright blue leds, and very bright and dazzling.

When we step outside our door, it is so dazzling, I cant see anything else much, and from inside we have a blue glow to all rooms in the front half of the house. The lights shine through curtains (apart from the blackout ones).

I suppose I have to go and knock on their door now and explain that we did the Duck tape. I do not want to cause any resentment or make a fuss. Ive not actually ever met these neighbours, as they are not about very much, even though I know everyone in the other neighbouring houses.

The lights went off about 20 mins after DH duct taped them, and looking out this morning, the tape has gone!

Do you think they got the message, or do I have to go and admit it was us that did it?

Get your DH to own up.

I thought it was quite funny actually, though may feel differently if they were my awful blue lights.

Actually I think the covering of blue LED lights in general, is the best bet all round. Horrid things. Light blue Christmas lights. Makes it look as though the police are out in force
