I added two led lights to my roof rack, I'm really happy with them. This day in time with so many drivers on their phones it's good to have a little more punch to your brake lights.

That looks really good, in gonna add 3 little LEDs either in the middle of the bumper running/brake combo or somewhere else. Also add back up lights. I'm also thinking running lights up front.

I want to add some bright lights in a few locations, myself.

I work for a place that sells some LEDs that are super bright, and fairly compact. About 1"x3". You typically see them in red and blue on police cars. I would like to use some small white ones for "rock lights" as well as some smaller compact reverse lights.

Heh, off the top of my head, not sure. I'll have to look tomorrow when I'm at work.

Or check out Policehq.com

I'll look quick myself.

Nevermind, I think they only come in amber, and they are expensive. Super bright, but expensive.

I think I will be looking into it further sometime.
