What do you think about THIS backup solution to redouts?(pic)
Some of you may remember I modded my taillights and installed smaller leds where the keyhole spot is on both sides. I love the look, but its still just not as bright as I want it, and I wouldnt have a shot passing inspection. I got this suggestion from someone before, and thought id tackle it in the next week or two using the carbon fiber licence plate backing on my kenstyle rear....(This is a photoshop by the way I havnt done it yet)
any suggestions before I order the stuff? Should I go with rectangle leds/Oval etc... ? Maybe painting the CF white to match the body and not stand out so much??

I would keep the concept of round lights but go up in diameter alittle, that is, unless you happen to find lights that are parallelagrams in shape, rectangles just wouldnt be nice with the way the piece contours,,,
On the otherhand I havent heard all that praise for perfect fitment of the piece your looking at,,, maybe try the same thing just without the CF plate insert,,,, I think then you could get away with rectangles(even though its the same footprint) because your not calling attention to that area,,,
