That's why I went with the ZR1 style rear roll pan..... 4 BIG lights to
tell you to back off.
I like that bumper cause of the big lights and the fact that
lenses are readily available and they are just brighter than the elky ones.
Not a cheap bumper though and my problem is it isn't a bumper at all. I
need a hunk of steel back there just in case and for the occasional bump
into a trailer tongue.
Then I added the LED brake light too, and that did more than the roll
pan did for getting attention. If you remember, last fall, or was it
spring? I put LED lights at the bottom too. Instant ON.
I remember you doing it but I don't remember what it looked
like..
I like what you did Robert. I have a pin hole between the window chrome,
and the top chrome, and the LED double sided tape seals it up.
Here is mine:

I recommend this for every El Camino.

I like yours but I wasn't going to put a hole in there for
it.
This is what I have in mine.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/WFLB.htm I got mine at HF for $5 on
sale as usual. If I did it again I'd cut a piece of the lip of the
headliner trim out so the light sits down lower in the trim and the trim
will go back higher and the angle of the LEDs would be better but it's fine
as is.
