Tail Lights

I drove up to the maker space after work today and made the tail lights. I had this burst of energy and creativity so I thought this was the best way to vent it. I bought tractor trailer tail lights because they are plentiful and cheap. They are also LED so they will be nice and bright. And they are DOT approved.
I bought sheet metal at the local home store and got soaked, they really mark that stuff up. Anyway here it is, one of them, I left the other in the car.

I installed one light to see how it fit and it is good. The sheet metal is 16 gauge steel. This is the drivers side assembly. The top and right side are bent at roughly a half inch radius and it over hangs the box by a quarter of an inch.

The tabs are for securing the assembly to the RV. The lights themselves are water tight and use a plug, nice and simple and easily replaceable. I left room on one side so if I wanted to add a trailer light receptacle I will have room. I'll paint them tomorrow and attach them on Friday.

One more thing off the list. This will leave me the weekend to fix the exhaust.
