Look great! I don't mind a copycat as the idea is a solid one. The LED pods from SuperBrite have all been the same size so far but I've only used the RED and AMBER ones. They also offer a WHITE that is solid white and a bit more expensive.

5 years and not a single dot has gone out and the flasher unit still works but the module I had for the third tail light (high center) that would flash twice then go solid with every brake pedal press expired after a couple of years so it's just wired with the rest of the brake lights.

They would have been Plug and Play since I have a towing package (the flashers don't care about current) but I opted for a third brake light that flashes twice then goes solid for each application of the brake pedal using a module from the same LED supplier, and a flasher module for the brake...

Niice! I too bought the red roundels for side lights (only one per side though) but haven't installed them. I intentionally left the lights protruding in order to be ever so slightly more visible from the side. I have amber lights at the rear of each front fender to help in that department.

My homemade LED tail light housings turned 5 this month... here's the build thread.... www.facebook.com/RogueXJ/media_set?set=a.10201120938438161.1073741826.1010238427&type=3 ...and here's what they look like in hazard mode...

IF you're running LEDs... there's a module you can buy from SuperBrightLEDs.com that will strobe briefly (just a second or two) when brake lights are activated but then stay on solid. I use such a module for my 3rd brake light (LED) alone. I have a separate module that flashes ALL of my brake...

Just like the light enclosures I made it myself, primarily from scrap. The scraps came from an auto shop alignment rack that was being discarded... the main crossbeams are "D" shaped 1/4" wall, and the diamond plate was from the drive up ramps.

A: Yes, those are the lights I used, they come in RED, AMBER, WHITE. B: No, they do not come with a grommet...and the grommets they THINK work with these lights are f'ing HUGE and wouldn't fit the way I used the elements by themselves. C: I simply used RTV silicone to mount them from...

Just direct wired into the normal tail light wiring... easy peasy.

Wiring.... The reds operate as Brake/Tail, the ambers as Turn/Hazard, but with a switch and separate flasher the reds rapid flash/emergency vehicle style. Actual units... from SuperBrightLEDS.com as well as flasher modules. FYI.... You can wire LEDs to flasher controlled circuits directly...

Here's how I addressed making my own LED tail light enclosures out of 16g sheet from the hardware store. Open image in a new tab.... it's a slideshow. And apologies for the mixed up upload.... it's my first attempt.

Am out... going to need to upgrade to bigger tires and tie my sliders into my frame to think about this one any time soon.

I'll come along ifn y'all don't mind... I do know my limits.

I'm on 31's x 5" lift, locked rear and armored in the right places, plenty of AIST, recovery points... good to go?

I faced this same question early last year when I finally got tired of going through the mini TREs that Rusty's "heavy duty" steering set-up required. I was also running a Rusty's trackbar that wanted to get rid of. I decided to build a trackbar using all BallisticFab stuff, upper and lower...
