| Some Ideas I've thought of were Reflective Trailer Tape, Red Trailer Marker Lights for Rear Running Lights, and SMV(Slow Moving Vehicle) Sign. | |

I honestly can't think of a way to attach any lights.. Run a switch off of your battery then run the marker lights back and drill holes into your rear fenders and mount the marker lights in. | |

| Id use a heavy guage wire, so it can handle the current , or to use for any other add on.
I picked up some LED lights on clearance at a auto parts store- havent gotten around to hooking them up on the trail tractor ( since its not built yet) - tell y- some of those LED's are bright as hell .
Make sure you use heat shrink tubing or water proof connectors( even hot melt glue or epoxy would work)- or they wont be working after a mud romp. | |

lol i think those slow moving vehicle signs are invalid and have no meaning in the UK. They are most other place, just not the UK. Im still putting some on my tractor TennesseeCowboy, i will be building a unit to go on the back to house the lights and number plate. It will be in a couple of months though. | |

| you could do what me and my neighbor did.. We put S.M.V. signs on our tractors when we would romp em stock we also added a ROPs bar to one and put orange strobe lights on them then the real notifier we mounted an air horn out of a semi truck under the hood. Im gonna do that again to one of mine | |
