This may be posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. Any suggestions for rear lighting for a Charger? I was originally going to put in HAW strobes, but have read that would be a no-no. I have a R/R dual Talon I could use, but it's a wee bit too obvious in the back window (and of course I'd have to get a second one to even things out). I've debated on LAWs in the back up lights, but don't know which one would fill the lens the best. And I have even thought of the Signal Phantom Max deck lights from *cough* Galls. I'd like to go as inconspicuous as possible. Also, I've got 35% tint on the rear window. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-

License Plate Bracket with your favorite mini lights. I personally like the LED3s since they are so small.

what about a tir6 slimlighter (either 1 above the 3rd brake light, or 1 on each side). i know that u want to be as inconspicuous as possible, but they are pretty thin and will be great for punching through the 35% tint (which will help hide them when they are not on). no doubt theyd be a lot brighther than a phantom max and prob. only like 1/2 an inch taller at the most.

I am running LIN4's vertically on my lic. plate, a Whelen Inner-Edge, and Whelen LED HAW's in the reverse lights. Here are a few pics, and a couple videos to maybe give you some ideas Sorry for the glare on the back window...

Why are HAW's in the reverse lights a no no? Could you not get a CSP 220 and be fine? What would 2 LAW's cost?

If I remember correctly, strobe HAWs are only a no-no in the front lights of the Charger. IIRC, they are OK in the rear light housings.

If 9103 ever turns up missing, it's because I will have stolen it. Wicked nice ride.

Where did the flag decal come from, I'll need several.

Thanks for all the compliments...the flag came from edecals.com, I asked if they could do the subdued, they said that a custom order required a minimum order. I think I had to buy 5.
