For better visibility to other drivers I recommend doing LED taillight replacements. They are much brighter, especially in sunlight, and light up much quicker.


They also come in clear and smoke. I have clear on mine:

Re: Taillight Search

Yeah.... For Wilson I can see why you need additional lights. Seems like a large LED light to go over the 3rd brake light could be useful. I upgraded by 3rd brake light to an F150 LED light, but since the LEDs are directional, that wouldn't work with the orientation of Wilson's light. Have you thought about one of those full width LED strips? You could mount that just above the gutter for a clean look. (then the existing light could be converted to an outside shower?...)
