    Pick a rear/side marker

    My local authorities demand that I attach red rear reflector/marker lights on the rear/sides of the Beat. All cars here need them by law. I have some surplus sets and was wondering......... Which ones would you use? All are lighted with the last one being led.

    ......or maybe something else?

    It would have to be the first one. the Oval one. It looks very Beat.

    How about this

    How about this in white but with a red bulb. Or even with red plastic with a clear bulb? I think this is my plan If I am forced to do it to my Beat.
    Its a bit more bother but I think it looks even more Beat.

    You'd still need the reflective part. Red light+red reflector=...... or you can have them combined. Also, those lights may be hard to source and will be pricey.

    Ok , I'm seeing that maybe countours or maybe circular is the way to go. Also, I'm told that I need an orange reflector up front,...... so maybe they need to match? I've got these dot reflectors that i can load with 10mm jumbo leds and surface mount with 2side tape............................................ ..........Ok or wrong approach?

    Sorry, pictures suck...
