Oh just throw some 100 watt lights on the top of the rig and point them back wards lol, plus they double for when the #*#*#* behind you have the brights on. Just turn yours on lol

It's going to be different for every state, I know here in Washington the law states that as long as they emit/reflect a red light then they're ok, there's little more then that which makes me think it's open to some interpretation. My tails are tinted as well as my front turn signals, but they still emit amber and red light so it would be to safe to say they are legal (here that is).

Check out Oldsmobile aurora. Gives it a clean look. Almost like factory. I was able to score one at the local upullit for $5. Search around for a write up. I might have one on cardomain. Look for xjfan.

u have installed rear lights??... did u tap into the factory wiring, specifically the reverse light feed? from what i've gathered, u need to wire relay & fuse, & also splice a diode into the NEW wiring to prevent the manual switch from back-feeding the factory wiring

i have been thinking that i could use a white led strip , i have used this ones for mi aquarium and for the interior of my wifes crv , i even used them for my jeep , instead of using the normal bulbs below the dash i put some led strips and they light pretty great , i think that this 120cm could lit quite great.. going to give it a try...
