    • Adds a futuristic, premium look

  3. Smoked/Blackout Tail Lights

    • Perfect for blacked-out or off-road themed builds

    • Keep it legal – ensure they’re still visible and bright

  • Always test polarity before final mounting.

  • For tail lights, ensure proper sealing to avoid water ingress during off-road use.
