Sadly the photo and video don't show the real brightness of the LED strip. I could take a photo in the dark but that's cheating

Nice size and placement. I preferred the boxes with the lenses, even if they were fake, because it was a no-brainer as far as adding lights. But your application looks does look sharp.

This is the light I used. I chose to only wire the brake and not the tail or turn.

I would have thought that from a car driver's seated position the brake light strip would be partially obscured by the 'hump' of the top box lid?

Putting it above / below the licence plate like I see many others do seems pointless to me. I did consider some sort of bracket to mount it at bottom of the box right at the rear but couldn't come up with a design I liked. Since it's a secondary I'll be content without 100% visibility. Edit: also remember the box is curved and the light is near enough to the peak of the curve ... Maybe more visible than you suspect? |
