Subject:Re: brighter tail lights:what's the definative answer?

The best idea I've seen is the addition of auxiliary tail light units
high up in the rear window. I followed a westy for quite a while up
Hwy 1 near Big Sur with 'em last year, and they were VERY visible.
They looked like inexpensive round trailer lights, so they weren't
cosmetically all that hot, but I bet you could find something nice and
rectangular to fit, maybe even with turn signals. The only downside is
getting wire run to them, and the loss of a couple insignificant
inches of visibility.
