I ordered the side markers which came with LEDs from an online site. The exhaust plate lights i just got from fartmart. They are really nice flat cyberline coated strips around 6 inches long x 1 inch wide. 8 LEDs per strip. Came with two strips for 15 bucks. I just hard wired them rite in to the side markers. They also came with 3M tape already on the back. They look good at nite the picks suck bc the are from my cell, much brighter when in person

Anything other than red light in the rear is giving LEO's the opportunity to pull you over. Parking tickets, speeding.....that last drink you had a dinner can ALL come back to haunt you.

I say NO !:no no:

well for the 1st time ever i can say that its a good thing im stationed in Maryland. [No not really] these people cannot drive and seem to have no idea on common rules of the road. I mean they dont even pull over for emergency vehicles The police should have more to worry about than a little LED light.
