I’ve never heard “RABBIT in the headlights,” only ”DEER in the headlights.”

я был словно кролик в свете прожекторов. видимо какая-то идиома, которая означает быть прижатым к стенке, застигнутым врасплох и т.п.

It means that you’re in shock and you don’t know what to say, so you stand there with your eyes and mouth open.

Как (будто) обухом по голове стукнули¿

Нет, если «застигли врасплох», то не подойдёт.

Imagine you hear a noise in the middle of the night. You go into your living room and someone is trying to come in your window. You turn on the light and they freeze - not knowing what to do, what to say, where to go. They just look at you wide-eyed.

заяц в свете фар автомобиля - бежит от машины вперед, не сворачивая в темноту в сторону

Возможно, это не идиома, но очень распространенное сравнение, как минимум, в русском

убегает, а не застыл

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

Yeah, in English it’s the opposite. They freeze.
