Poor judge of distance is a pretty common issue nowaday..
I'm insured for people like that.   
Thats about the best you can do.

It may help but I think no matter how many milions of candle power your lights are there will still be distracted drivers not "seeing" you. The last accident I was in (not the cuda) the 19 yr old girl looked left and saw us coming but then looked right and didn`t realize the closing speed and BAM!

I'm more concerned about driving a 'Cuda with manual drum brakes & Polyglas tires. People need to watch me coming😀

Great looking work Chris D. !! 
the surround looks great with the upgrades!

I wonder if the led diodes on the ends are removeable so that you could put two white diodes on the outsides for reverse lights.

I'm planning on building some boards with led's on them for the reverse lights and have them strobe for a 5 seconds just like the brakelight..

All wiring runs between the metal rear window surround trim and BLP-1 mounted behind the new sail panel I just installed.
Are sail panels on a 'cuda supposed to be on top of the headliner?

@dodj  Yes.   :alan2cents:
Thanks. There was some kind of cardboard panel behind the headliner in that area of my challenger.  Always thought that was what people were calling sail panels.
