Makes no sense to me. Reverse lights are never on for more than a few seconds at a time. That barely gives it a chance to completely light up.

It's a good idea in theory, but for $250, I can spend that money a lot of other ways.

If you have 5% tints (so you can't see up in my window) like I do and a reverse camera, then this might be useful for night reversing.

Well I could imagine when you've got some assclown tailgating you at night it would be wicked to through it in reverse a coupe of quick times to let him know where you stand. (Just for the love of God don't let your foot slip off the clutch however.)

Usage:

*

Tailgaters (use your imagination).

I think these woud be useful in a few different ways. However being able to see better while backing up isn't worth $250 to me.

Tail fog lights actually serve a purpose and I believe are required in some European countries.

That is actually pretty cool. But I think the best type of mod would be to install concealed rear "HID HEADLIGHTS" It is a great tool again people who drive behind you using their high beams. A real detterent
