Be Safe Be Seen!!! That's always my motto, I drive at night 75% of them time and with all these snow bird cagers being seen is the only thing on my mind. When I didn't have all my LED accent lighting, I almost got squished about 100 times now people hear me and see me. If you see this loud bright white thing coming down the road your more likely to pay attention.

Just look at the difference!! I Have 6 LED Strips, 2 21 LED Racing Lights, LED Turn Signals, LED Brake Light, Extra LED Taillights, LED Driving Light And LED Headlight. Also 4 reflectors on my custom top case.

Defensive driving is a must.

Nice work. It's a good thing FL is flat. I think if you were on a tall hill at night someone may call in a UFO sighting.

You could fit one heck of a third brake light setup on that luggage box if you wanted to add to visibility at that end.

You've got so many options with all of that space. Stuff like this would stick out a couple of inches, but you'd get a whole extra set of tail, brake, and turn signals.

Sorta similar, but just tail/brake and only about $5.

Again it sticks out a bit, but all of the LEDs flash when you brake.

These look very easy to install and pretty low profile. Dual intensity so they work as tail/brake or you could put them far left and far right and make them tail and turn signals.

Lots of stuff like this out there that sticks on.

Alright 90GTVert, I ordered the ones below you said they can be taillights and turn signals? OK so there's 3 wires red, blue and black how would I go about making them tail/turn signals? Anyway you can draw me up a simple wiring diagram? If its not to much to ask.

www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Round-Reflector-Red-LED-Rear-Tail-Brake-Stop-Turn-Signal-Light-Lamp-12V-new/191412176376?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D27538%26meid%3D9111dd2776f443939dae67dc8e0a7955%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11353%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D191286345924&rt=nc

So, 3 wires
Black- Ground
Blue- Turn Signal L/R
Red- Running Light

Correct? So it would be Turn Signals/ Taillight not Turn Signals, Brake Light (When Brake Applied) And Tail light
