    whats a bumper pole exactly

    I read it on cduff7 auction site. Can some show me a pic of all the parts and tell a desciption of what it is. A lighted bumper pole. I have a thought of the benx sel with the parking poles that come out of the bumpers to see where the corners of the car are. is this correct?

    In Japan it's almost a necessity. With SOOO may people in a tiny area, parking is difficult, even though a lot of people don't even have cars.

    the ones that came on the hondas are pretty much like a motorized antenna with a light on top. They are powered and come up only when you need em to park.
