I need a new battery or camera to provide a pic, but they're gray, minus the bulbs and don't include the backup light/license area. Pacific Northwest.

I like them a lot, if I use them (which I haven't in x years) it would be for a boat tail on something. Without the angled backup lights a tail light/license assembly would be 46" wide.

You mentioned mods to the front, do you have plans for the rear? Maybe time for some tuft testing?
Yeah, way too large. My current tail lights are 4.5"x4.5". Don't worry about pics tho, I just can't make it up. Road trip up to PNW would be fun but what with the plague I don't think it's a great idea right now.

Hey, that's awesome! Well now the owner IS a relatively active member.


Small update on the car. To counteract the various parasitic electrical losses it suffers from, I have added a 20w(allegedly) solar panel battery maintainer to keep the battery topped up. I fear it's been discharged too much though, and I'll have to replace the battery. Lithium Ion, anyone? I've got some 200-amp 8000mah cells that would band together to make a car battery. Or I could save my $300 worth of batteries and just get a real car battery.
