If you look at the stoppy picture you will see that the signal lights are off.
One would suggest that the picture you are talking about was taken with
the hazzards on.

Although I must admit I would like the running lights on.

If I ever get the free time and $$$, (mostly money) I want to
remove the bulbs from the rear signal lights and replace with
and array of orange/yellow and red leds. Use the red LEDS for
running/brake lights and then turn off those if the signal light
is to be used, thus employing the use of the orange/yellow.

I am still having trouble find super bright LEDs at reasonable prices.

What's wrong with that? To be seen is to be NOT hit.

Still have yet to figure out why people put stickers on tail lights,
remove/modify turn signals. As it is my biggest fear at night is someone
not figureing out that my brake light is not part of the car ahead of
me. With a close second being someone making a left in front of me.
