They are (plastic?) testicles, hung off the inside back bumper of a car, usually a pickup. They are free-swinging, in the Newtonian sense, carrying on using the car's momentum even when the vehicle has stopped at a light.
The pink ones have a disturbing shaved quality.
They may, in fact, be available in fleshtones other than McWhitey, but I live in Caucasialandville.
I saw my first set of these this weekend while driving around town -- disturbingly freaky! Looked like two plastic easter eggs filled with sand, stuffed into pinkish plastic bag.
I will say here what I said in my own journal a few days ago, because you've missed another horrible option.
In traffic the other morning I saw a truck with blue balls on the trailer hitch. I would just like to comment that while truck balls are a stupid idea to begin with, what the hell is the idea behind having blue ones? It implies that your truck may very well run a long time but it's never actaully going to get anywhere good.
While I have yet to see those parts in these here parts, when I was in Ft. Lauderdale in June, I saw many a pickup with 'em swinging free and breezy, as it were. My friend PT had to be convinced that they were not some sort of a mirage, then refused to believe that someone would so intentionally bedeck (be-ball?) their vehicle.
She's just too much of a lady for this crude world, is what I say.

Ewww...
