You asked for it so we delivered ;) Rear light bars and the LED lights to go in them. The lightbars are aluminum and weigh in at 3.5lbs each. They have a pretty easy mounting system so even I can figure it out!

And the LED tail lights are 27 LED lights (3 rows of 9 LED's) and pretty damned bright. What everyone was asking for was the blue LED for less than the $120 & $140 that 2 of our competiors sell them for. I do admit there are a bunch of hoops you have to jump through simply to buy Blue lights but we did and here they are. They are more expensive than the others we sell but way cheaper than our competitors, and the Red, Amber, White, & Blue all match so you don't have a missmash of lights!

In our design process we discovered that there are 2 different hole sizes in use but we have you covered. We went the extra mile and got an additional mounting gasket for you so it will fit either.

And they're not just for desert pre-runner tube buggies; they can go on normal rigs too. (Well, a loose definition of "normal" anyway :haha: )

Props to Dan & co @ RuffStuff for fixing me up. I highly recommend getting both the bar and the LED's from them in one go as it'll save you the fitment headaches I had!

What would we use blue for?

Getting stopped and hassled by the police. Blue lights are not legal apparently for any use other than Law enforcement.

The BLM was stopping and ticketing people all week at KOH for having Blue lights. Most of the desert racing sanctioning bodies require the slower classes to have a rear facing blue light that comes on with the main power feed. We are required to have this while we race on BLM land but can't have a rear facing blue light on BLM land????

Basically if you aren't a racer in a sanctioning body that requires a blue light don't get one.
 
They were even hassling the racers on the lakebed. They said they were fine during the race, but outside of that they were looking at a $200+ fine.

The BLM stopped by the ORD tent on Wednesday and stated "We are giving warnings yesterday and today and tickets Thursday and Friday".

They were also threatening to ticket people for riding in a side by side without a helmet, even in the pits at 5mph...
