What is the name of those things on the road that light up in the darkness when the car headlights touch them? They're kinda orangey? Anyone know? Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?

Are you trying to pull my leg? Cause my leg isn't easily pulled.

It's not the official name, but common slang.
