M936A1 Wrecker - Rear visibility upgrade

I decided to upgrade the visibility of my M936A1 wrecker. They are very dark to the rear at night. I started by adding a pair of Grote LED tail lamps. While I had the reflector mounts off, I had a sheet metal shop fabricate two identical reflector plates to be mounted to the inside of the tail light buckets. The OEM reflector mounts extend to the outside edge of the buckets. Cleaned everything up, repainted appropriate camo colors and installed 4 new reflectors. It looks like everything is OEM. Night driving is a bit brighter to the rear now! I also have LED clearance lights all around and LED headlamps. Pics attached of the rear mod ( I hope).

Nice! IMHO, the best thing you can do for visibility is to mount some of the delineation plates on your mud flaps. There is no mistaking them at night.

LOL are you somehow connected with them? It's funny, unless they moved again I remember it being the old Carl's Jr. I only picked up on the fact Atascadero had said nickname within the last year!

(sorry for the off topic digression)
