If you need it badly enough, you can build one yourself. Four 4" amber truck
LED taillights, and one 4" red one. Cut a 4" hole in 5 small metal discs
(small garbage can lids?) weight with cement, or provide ground spikes. Run
extension cord to each (daisy-chain wiring would work). Plug into 12-volt
outlet on vehicle. Cost about $200 total.
