I wanted a low profile tail light for my Rev so I fabricated my own. Only 1.5" square and 8" long. Chunk of aluminum, 3 led lights and about 3 hrs to make. Turned out pretty good I think.

Thanks guys, I'm not sure what to use to hide or hold the wire coming out of the light. Any Ideas?

2 wholes in the tunnel one right behind the light then one by the bumper and run it tight under the tunnel my :twocents: thats what i would do but it might see to much moisture.

How about a aluminum tube or make a U channel to cover the exposed wire?... The light thing looks good & yes covering the wire would be a finish touch. :)

I'll have to find some small tubing because the cooler starts right behind the light. I hope they make tubing small enough.

Instrumentation tubing, comes in 1/4" to 3/4" and custom bends easily.

Thanks for the Idea!! That stuff would work perfect! A friend of mine does electrical. I'll get some off him today.:specool:

That light setup is sweet but I'm trying to find where to get the same light that's on my sled.

It's a 1" x 6" LED bar with about 10 LED lights in it. It came with my sled so I don't know where to get it.

Any thoughts?

It's only about 1/2 thick. I want to put this on my other sled but I don't know where to find it. I'll post a pic of it later.

Thanks

Chelle

Anybody know if you can get anything like that locally?

Thanks
