Rear lights
Thinking of putting in some Osram fog / DRL at the front, but thought should add something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24-SMD-LED-Red-R...SwkEVXGENn these to the rear, wired to ignition live and brakes, which I can easily do off the tow socket.
Anyone used these / thoughts?Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

If wired up to ignition love live, then they have purpose...just like a DRL. Cheap and nasty, fair enough. Dolpants had them for a month before they failed!

Agree with this. Look OK, and add extra light, but they lasted less than 6 months, and are now green with corrosion

I was thinking of these then it was pointed out you need to remove the reflectors to fit them and that might well contravene vehicle regulations and land you in trouble with insurance Morris Dancers: Drinkers with A Dance Problem
