So,no doubt some of you have done the ol' Verada tail light swap onto a Magna and have been left with the problem of no reverse lights.

Lots of trains of thought as to what to do...do nothing...go dual filament some how..add the Verada lights...

But my solution has been to fit a ADR approved led light bar.

Something different.Enjoy.

Actual light bar.Was really easy to mount.Simply took rear garnish/fill,what ever its called,off,and drilled two holes to mount..removed one push in clip and fed wires through...earth,and join into original loom.
As you can see from the photo,the light bar sits in a white rubber gromet,and im thinking either painting it black or removing it to see what it looks like.

Never ends does it..always something to toy around and experiment with.

Will take some more shots tonight as it approaches dusk and see what sort of shots i get.
No use taking any when its dark,as they will be too bright to show up effectively on a photo,but,meh,you get the jist of what it is about.

Very Nice, that is awesome work. Very stealth, not sure how it would go on a dark colour though. Sable black would make the bar stick out more.
