    I'm trying to find some options for square red lights with high output that can be used as a limited visibility rear light, similar to what a lot of euro manufactures use. I'll have two square cutouts on my bumper for lights, one will be a white light for reverse, the other will be red for limited vis. I can find red pods, but most are typical tail light brightness for mounting as a brake/tail combo. I'd like to find something brighter thats going to cut through fog and snow better.

    Anyone have recommendations?

    And I'm not interested in "thats stupid, turn your tail lights on" comments. Standard tail lights are still shit in adverse weather or dusty conditions.

    i dont, but what i have done is custom cut some diode dynamic lights for a red lens. so depending on what your bumper is cut for you could do something similar.

    Yeah I was kind of thinking that might be the route I have to go.
