in tx need red reflectors on outer most part of vehicle in the rear and on the rear most part on the sides. having leds that emmit a red color is needed too. (so having clear lense is ok just as long as its red when braking)
so with that being said i have 2 10" hitech leds in roll pan with clear lenses and on the stepshaver i have a 1.25'' led thats red for the side markers. no i dont have any reflectors yet but its red in back. hope this helps some

maybe i could use a little 1.5 led that turns on with my running tail lights as a "reflector".

it would be a step to try and have it legal...they sell like little 1.5 inch red ones and stock theres a little red ugly square reflector.

as far as not having reflectors u get away with that by always having the lights on, that is legal, if they are off and there is no reflectors then yes its illegal, what state are u in? in cali u have to have something on the side to be legal, u have to see the light from the side

i live in louisiana and i was told the only law on tail lights is that there had to be at least a left and right side. i'm running 2 9.5'' leds in my rollpan and there only red with no reverse. thank goodness i know people who inspect
