Subject: Re: LED Auxillary Brake and Turn Signal Lights

Here are some pics of what I am trying for aux lights. A temp setup to see
how they work and reflect on the rear glass. Ran some cat 5 cable wiring
for now. Had a 3rd brake light already up top in the middle (hard to see)
that works fine. The LED T/sig and brake/tail lights are for a trailer
originally and just sitting on the rear shelf. I just tapped into the
factory wiring at the stock lights. Can/Will get some wiring colors if
someone needs them. I need to get them solidly mounted and get some 4
conductor 24 gauge wire to permanently tie them in.
Bright to say the least but do reflect a bit, so I will try them closer to
the window and see if that helps. Not horribly reflective, but definitely
there and noticeable.

Coincidently. I just put a pair of LED Stop/Tail/T-sig lights on mine.
For now, I Just set them on the rear camper shelf to see how the reflections
did at night. Not horribly distracting, but needs the lights either closer
to the glass of to kill the reflectivity on the rear lid just below the
glass. The very top reflections didn't bother me much.
A temporary setup till I figure out a better way, but they sure be bright...
