For those wondering why i'm contradicting my "euro halo" product, I was never really a big fan of moving the reverse lights tail lights. It's not the best looking setup and i'd rather TS guys be able to have all-red halos.

The Amber/Red halos on the other hand ar bad-***. I should have pics of my new tinted-euro-halo setup in a few weeks.

Great idea but I dont think it will work as is becuase the TS uses a bezel around the license plate. Even without the bezel I doubt this would fit within the area designed to mount the license plate.

If anyone trys one of these I would love to hear from them. I want the Halos, but dont want to mount lights down in the rear fascia openings.

I don't think that frame will work.

As you can see, the plate fits tightly within the cove....



Any frame with dimensions larger that the plate would have to be mounted outside the cove. You might be able to attach it with long screws, but it's gonna look funky.
