I like what i am seeing and will definitely be getting a set, im curious to see the versions that Mikey comes up with vs. the 2 red ones that were posted. I came up with something based on Mikeys design that would be legal and avoid the need for mounting red reflectors somewhere on the rear.
I noticed the design already had a reflector at the bottom so i just made it red but left the rest clear and i kinda like it. Since you have to have red somewhere to be legal.

Also i would be surprised if you see a LED reverse light anytime soon. Its not a light thats used nearly as much as brake/turn lights. So the cost to make it LED isnt worth it to most manufacturers plus theres no safety benefits to LED reverse lights either. BUT it would be nice if the turn indicator was LED on these lights but im just happy there are LED taillights at all. I was learning my fabbing and wiring skill to make some of my own.
