Same lights here, been rear ended to many times and the old lights are hard to see. Safety is most important.

Re: Different rear lights on an AD

I used a 54 bed on my 50, so I could mount lights in the stake pockets. I also install a 3rd brake light in the cab. Nice a bright day and night...Jim

What are you using for a 3rd brake light?

Thanks.
