Go on ebay and type in led tailights, or led trailer lights.
I got a set off there, alot cheaper than any where else I looked.

These are the ones I bought on ebay, I think they are $80 plus postage for the pair, as the buy it now price.
I got them for $54 posted in the auction
One of them has a built in number plate light too.
Now I just have to build a tray for them go on. But I should get my Lux back on the road first

Are they ADR approved as tail lights? Trailer lights carry a different classification I believe, and they usually have the numberplate lights.

I'm yet to see trailer specific lights come with reverse lights though.
Nice job on yours though.

i do believe tailights have to have a reflecter in them to be adr approved. while i doubt it would cause any real issues with police unless someone ran up your arse and they can pin it down to the fact that there was no reflector. the only other time that you could really have issues is with roadworthys. it just boils down to how legal you want your truck to be

I don't think they need a reflector in them to be legal. Some of our customers order trailers with a particular hella light that has no reflector, we fit a red reflector to either side of the trailer to make it legal. Might be different for vehicles, but I think some cars are coming out with reflectors built into the rear bumper instead of the lights.

And its not real hard to bolt/stick a red reflector on the back of a tray somewhere.
