Tail light upgrade
I was at Harbor Freight and found some Red and White reflective strips. They are about 12 inches by 2 inches. They have adhesive on the back. I have some magnetic material, so i stuck the strips to the magnetic stuff. Red on the back end and White on the front.
This stuff is similar to the Trailer-Brite strips that you see on Semi Trucks. It is really amazing how bright they are as soon as light hits them. Too bad my picture posting skills suck. Also they are easily removed if you want. |

Re: Tail light upgrade
I took some thin sheet metal and made a piece to stick the semi reflector tape unto and install in the trunk area. When I shut the trunk lid, on the metal, it was held in place but could remove it when I went to a show. You are right, that reflector tape glows brightly when headlights shine on it.

Re: Tail light upgrade
Hey, FWIW, Reflective tape ain't the same as tail light bulbs.
