Honestly i would look on hid planet or some other forum and see if there is a way you can use a relay of some sort so when the car is in reverse the red strip turns off and only the white strip is on. Just a idea.

Good idea. I don't want to over complicate it though. Works good with both.

I will get a picture of this working tonight hopefully.

Pics--

Brake only



Reverse only

This actually looks way better in person than on camera. You can clearly see the two different colors unlike the photo where they blend together.


At night



Lovin the backup cam

The backup cam is pretty beast! Was that a feature on the head unit already? The LEDs look awesome!

I painted the rear panel once because it looked all faded and crappy. When I did that I taped off bowties in the paint. I since covered it in vinyl which looks much cleaner. You can still barely see the lights through the vinyl at night.

Flashback!
