I've been toying with the idea of turning my cargo light into a 3rd brake light, making the reverse lights the turn signals and just adding a pair of reverse lights either in the bumper or under it.

That would be pretty easy. The reverse lights aren't so good anyway.

It caught my eye in the paper catalog. Kinda cool to see a mod that you want to do.
