It’s stopping!

Oh, wait.

Why would you replace your third brake light with lights that stay lit all the time? That defeats the purpose of having a light which is supposed to only light  up when you’re braking. You’re sending mixed signals there, buddy.

It’s just a stop-gap solution until he gets his rear facing LED light bar installed.

DRLs but for the rear of your car.

I believe they’re required due to the Raptors width and factory installed. Similar to why there are amber lights in the grill and lights on semi trailers.

Dust lights.

But yeah, they look silly on the road.

Are good! DRLs are there to make the car more visible, not to illuminate anything, so having the taillights and marker lights work together with the DRLs makes sense. Some cars do this.
