I installed my lights about 6 years ago, install was easy just follow instructions. I used a small set of fog lights for backup lights, they give off a good amount of light.



I like the fact that I have four tail lights not two. They are much brighter than stock.

Yes that's how most are wired, an that's how I have mine wired too. Tail, brake, and signal, all work in pairs per side.

Can you send a link to what you are talking about? (Never liked the look of the bubble lights myself. I think the Harbor Freight LED trailer light conversion is much better looking not to mention more functional and cheaper. )

I like the idea of 4 active tail lights
I like the fog lights adapted as backups



the only BAD thing about bubbles and LED's is the lack of reflectiveness (when street parked and hit with headlights from behind, there's no reflection.)
