Maloo tailgate reflectors

[Matt Watkins]

Is there possibly any chance anyone in the world has turned the tailgate reflectors on a maloo into actual working brake lights?

reckon it would look absolutely mad

I wish HSV engineered it

also can’t seem to find anything about it being achieved anywhere online sadly

Honestly I’ve been wishing for something like this for a long time and still no one has made something, I figured it would be relatively easy for a custom LED light company to make and be able to join into the regular taillights with some sort of connection.
There is already cables coming through the tailgate for the Number plate light so it would be easy enough to get cable through and into the taillight section.

Your prayers have been answered but in my opinion they look tacky and cheap..

Yuck!
It wouldn't be fun trying to add extra electrical cables through the conduit to the tail gate.
Number plate light power, power for the solenoid release, and the Bowden cable for the emergency mechanical hard lid release.
