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.)

Unless you know something I dont' know, doing that will give you more of a shock than the guy tailing you. With the clutch in, the engine is disconnected from the tranny, but the tranny is still connected to your wheels and all the gears inside are in constant mesh.

(BTW, it's "throw" not "through")

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.

$250 for reverse lights is rediculious IMO

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
