Brighter tail lights

[Jack & Donna Smith]

George:... What I did was to visit the local 99¢ store and buy a
number of ladies make up compacte.. I removed the mirrors and
DoubleStickyTape/Silaconed them behind the Tail/Turn/stop light
bulbs.. worked great!!!
FOR THE TOAD: In addition to the Towed lights, I bought a reciver
light from H.Freight, $4 or so, cut the connector off and soldered
both filiments togather, and wired it into the Toad light scheme..
This ome is vrey bright and different so it gets attention!!
