Re: It stops. Fast.
 
Tail lights are from Mesa 4x4, its the most common LED replacement for flush mounting
(its a TJ, they have the huge square taillights normally). The backup lights are
also LED and we got them thru our local Nappa. They are pretty close to at headlight
level.

I'm kinda liking the idea of the relective tape along the bottom of the corners.

The more I think on it, the more I like the idea of the tape. Guess a run to the
parts store is in order next week or so.

Sweet, I like the lights! Ya know, I've never seen a top like that,
is it a custom job? What kind of rotors did you get up front?
