The wiring on those Tuff Rox lights = looks like a TOTAL DISASTER..... I don't think I could ever bring myself to install those things even if they were free!

 

Looks alone, I agree with you. fugly.

Here are my lightly modded tails. After the last accident where somebody backed into me in a parking lot (third time it has been hit in the rear) and the numerous times I have had close calls when backing, I ripped out the stock reverse/rear fog/reflectors out of the bumper and replaced when LED pods. Wanting to replace the reflectors, I took some reflector tape and cut it to fit over the lower part of the upper tail light where the guard bisects it. I always hated how it cut the amber into a third. So now it is Brakes/Tail on top, Amber in the middle, and reflector on the bottom.

 

A buddy found two new driver’s tail lights in Australia recently and bought both of them for a cool $700 bucks. I snagged his spare and found a new passenger tail light. The cost of these things are ridiculous

 

Yesterday I was taking off my right (passenger side) tail light in order to locate the trailer plug for the trailer wiring. As I was installing the tail light back, I noticed a piece of it chipped off at the corner. They are super fragile indeed, made of really crappy plastic. Could they be 3-D printed now days? I looked for an aftermarket version, like they sell for the DIsco 3 and most american trucks and vans, couldn't find anything. Oh, and by the way, it looks like my Landy has NO trailer plug at all. Is it even possible?

 

A while back I stuck my toe in the 3D printing Reddit forum and was basically told they can’t make them because it’s a one piece unit. Not just a lens. Also the grade of plastic they need to be made from has to be UV resistant material and “DOT” stamped but I don’t think we care much about that. Apparently harder than it sounds.
