Why’s your spare tire look so visible?
 












That's not a bad choice of setup, never thought about using those for that, have some green ones that I used in the grille on the X.
I'm just going to rig my aux reverse lights under the bumper to work off a seperate switch as well as the reverse for that exact reason. That and it helps that I can use my cargo light on the third brake light too, that's quite bright lol

I used to have my reverse lights on a switch (wiring problem and needed to pass inspection). After I fixed it, I kept it for plowing, and the occasional tailgator. They weren’t overly bright, but it usually got the message across.

One is 700 and the other is 800 lumens in my case, bright enough, one flood and the other is spot as well. I need to rig mine to have a secondary switch, so either I can manually do it down the road like that, or have it via the reverse lights like the current setup. You dont still have yours on a switch?
 






I have this on each break light and the third brake light! Strobes from Super Bright LEDs
It's bad enough that this Explorer looks like a State Police SUV and even has the ghost reflective shadow chevrons still on it.
I decided to put these on all 3 brake lights and almost everyone stays 3 car lengths away from my rear end.
I also have the Sequential Turn Signal/Stop/Tail/Reverse/Hazard Light hooked up so nobody can say, "I didn't see any turn signal lights!"

Not too bad of an idea. Not my personal preference, but if it helps ya, more power to ya!

Nice! Need to talk to She who Must be Heard....

Put the sequential ones right under the rear window....

Soon I will be posting the entire vehicle inside and out.
I am customizing a radio rack first then I will need some welding and then powder coating (Sorry OCD)
I believe all the wiring is almost done up to the point of the custom center console radio rack and switch board!

Not OCD.
Rather "Attention to detail"
 
























At my age I don't need road rage! LOL
