That's a pretty cool idea, but I'd rather not have the whole frame thing. Maybe just the LED strip only...I'm just not a fan of having any frame on my plates. I just leave the plate on there only with no frame.

Anyone put actual HID's in their reverse lights in the tails? Or am I the only one crazy enough? lol

Only thing you gotta watch out for is to not run them for more than 30 sec or so...too long and you might melt the housing lol!

Awesome! Great way to make tailgaters get off.... Or maybe agitate them more and have a fight ensue after you exit.

That is pretty bright. But I wish they would angel the LED a bit more so it does not blind the world.

Same here. It can be tricky sometimes depending how dark it is, however this is a mod that I'll pass on.
