Just came back from a trip to the province and was able to take some pics of my ride.
Was also able to use the 240W 42inch LED lightbar I installed for the dark provincial roads. :drool:
trying to be 4x4
Without any lights
4300K 35W foglamps
4150K 35W osram projectors (low beam)
240W LED lightbar on the roof
3x red Phlatlights at 7amps on the back for the tailgaters

I only used the LED bar with 80 Epistar LEDs. I got this second hand pretty cheap and with the right length so I snagged it. I wanted the Cree versions but they're so expensive.
I'm driving the PT54 LEDs from a board I originally designed as a buck converter for an MPPT solar charge controller that I modified to run constant current with auto power control using the onboard LED thermistors to limit power when it heats up. Build details are here: 1200 lumen Rear Foglight

Man I wish I could build something like that. I would love the ability to have a backup light like that for in the woods. I also want a rear facing and forward facing light bar with two smaller side facing ones. But that's a bunch of money lol.

I only built the rear fog lamp the lightbar, I bought as a unit and just fabricated custom aluminum brackets to mount on the OEM bolts for the roof rails (that I didn't have on my car). Building a lightbar that big would take a lot of time and effort that I'm better off buying a ready made unit.

I need those tailgate lights on my car- there are a few giant douchey trucks around here that like to tailgate. They also havent thought to lower/raise their headlights, so they tailgate and blind you at the same time...I bet a few of those LED's would get them to back off real quick...

I mainly made it for those that tailgate with their high beams on. Most of the time, they get the hint and turn their high beams off and so I turn it off too. But there are those that won't dim their lights so I keep it on and they usually slow down and back away.
I just had one slow @ssh0le on the passing lane that won't move. Turned the lightbar on and still won't move so I passed him on the right. When I was in front of him, he turned the high beams on his cheap drop in HIDs on me so I turned the PT54s on. He dimmed his lights instantly and backed off.

I was recently conned into buying a Mazda B4000, which is actually a Ford Ranger in disguise. It is
complete will all the usual Ford trappings, designed and built to a price by people who don't care. I will
never forgive Mazda for what they have done to me. Luckily I can fall back on a scooter when it's warm
enough. The truck is probably going on Craigslist. So watch out for that.

@djQUAN that tailgate light is amazing!
I'd love to have something like that on my car. Even with tinted rear, I can't stand the trucks, and suv's with their high beams on.
Need to check on whether it's legal in the US or not :shhh:

Just don't get caught and you'll be fine.
Building it isn't too hard. Just need a bit of time molding the plexiglass case to fit the bumper. Or you can cannibalize a stock rear foglamp housing. The only hurdle is the heatsinking needed by the LEDs.
