What do people do for rear lights? There are lights on it but they are pretty small and rubbish.
There is a retro fitted indicator which is utterly horrible looking

Mark,I explained the FAQ about the door lock in my PM,the rear lights unlike our European set ups are triple function,tail,stop and indicator.

I opted to convert mine to LED including amber turn signals in the bedside rolled sections at the top.
(These are NOT a legal requirement in the UK given the age of the truck) but rather peace of mind,that just leaves the tail-lights as a simple stop/tail function.
As an additional safety feature I fitted a third brake light in the cab rear window.
Again these are readily available and are easy to install and above all else very bright and visible,they don't detract from the rear appearance unlike some of the hideous add-ons some people fit here.
I'm assuming your truck is still 6V electrics?
