Our unmarkeds just have the reverse lights on a wig wag flasher; saves drilling and installing a hide-away if you're happy with white as secondary warning to the rear. Generally brighter than HAWs too.
We don't put anything in brakes or turn signals, as we still want people to notice when we're stopping and turning.
The Commodores alternate between reverse and turn signal lights when the handbrake is applied, so you have amber/white alternating when you're stopped, although your brake lights are your turn signals in the States, so that's probably not an option for you...
Reminds me of (
ready for it) U/C car.
That being said I like the idea of using a back lite flasher as a 2ndary to the rear deck light , as it is now the rear is effective and clean and not over populated. (most comments will be geared toward you over populating your vehicle, and you need to buy this and this). The front; I noticed the front lighting is simple and effective, and allows use of turn signals with most attention at eye level. :thumbsup:
The Consensus with many
POV owners posted on this site, 'more is better'.. "OMG, Jim has more lights, I need to call my light dealers and order more!" Im sure if most could afford it they would have more lights than two of their depts fire trucks, if dept regs allowed it. IMHO for many (not all) it seems persons want to drive UFO's, kinda similar to the concept of the 70 year old man buying a ferrari, and will die trying to justify the need.
But in the end, KISS falls into play, the main goal is what is effective, doesnt require a 2nd morgage or your first born child and a simple light set-up can be more effective than someone driving a UFO. In the end our opinions really dont matter, as the vehical owners going to set up their vehicle to their own tastes or will run with the pack and suffer blinky envy..
I often refer people with lighting questions to this link;

Nice set-up, I like it so far looks clean & not overkill. Waits to see how much more if any is added..
