Question Tail light question

I've got shaved taillights and have got those bowtie lights in my rollpan. The prob is, is that thay dont support the brake lights when my lights are on. I've went through many scenarios on how to fix this. I don't want to cut any more holes in my rollpan since I just finished doin' all my bodywork and have it painted. I also like the simplicty of only the two tail lights.

Any suggestions????

I thought of maby just installing some simple red ligts behind the rollpan under the box and just letting them light up the ground when I brake. Would taht look alright?

youre either going to have th change the light sockets so theres a dual filiment bulb in the bowties or youre going to have to replace or add to the set up ya have cause you cant have lights under the car for tail or stops they ahve to be aimed straight off the back fo your truck

To me, I think having them shine on the ground would be hard to see, especially during the day.

Do what old rusty c10 said, and change out the filiment. Should prove to be the easiest...
