Lets get the ugly reverse lights off the rear bumper.

Any one with me on this? i got the HUD for the Cadillac done and for the longest time wanted to get them of the rear bumper, so any one have any good ways to do this?

At one time i was going to move it to the diffuser but dont know if that will look any better so i want some input.

I know how. Do you want them gone completely or just relocated to a more ascetically pleasing spot?

just put some duck tape over the and then paint the duck tape the color of your car and there the lights are gone jk this would be cool to get rid of those since when were you into caddys?

Seems like the easiest way would be to paint the lenses the color of your car so they blend in, then disconnect them and use the wires to rig up some reverse lights somewhere else. I think LED's around the diffuser would be kinda cool. Beyond that you would be into some actual bodywork, like making some fill plates, bondo, sand, paint, clear, etc...

I like these European style lights all LED with the back up lights integrated into the tail lamps.

Not bad but i say make one tail light out of the 2 and use all LEDs and in the center put red and white LED so you can wire it as the reverse lights.
