My coach has the generation II tail lights but are still pretty pitiful in terms of visibility. I've come up with what will be my solution.

The above is the tail light. You can compare it to the original.

And this is the brake light comparison. Pretty dramatic improvement.

This is an aluminum frame and two Harbor Freight submersible boat lights. I bought 4 of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-submersible-oval-led-stop-turn-trailer-tail-light-67064.html. They are less than 20 bucks each and frequently on sale.

The stock backup lights are useless so I'm going to mount some driving lights in the rear bumper and probably a backup alarm as well. I have not yet found a good LED clear light that will fit in the available space.

If there is interest, I'll describe how I made them.
