Backup lights on ours are the same size as the tail lights, but are still useless. And if they are meant to warn people when you're backing, an alarm like on commercial vehicles would be a whole lot better.

Yes, they are shown on the Legacy but are within the "Montana Key Features" section. Nothing else in that section is optional and they are not listed in the options section. I believe they are shown on the Legacy only for enhancement purposes.

Our '16 Legacy came with the backup lights posted a few posts back and I still think for a rig of this price range, there should be LED lights and not the lights that have been around for 30 years. That being said, I bought these stop/tail/turn and put on ours to really brighten it up from behind. I do have the same lights in CLEAR LED that I will be installing under these that I will tap into the backup lights. The factory ones are about useless, just like the brakes. Being in public safety for over 30 years, I want as much light as I can have to get people's attention behind me.

I am having second thoughts about my comments above. We will have to wait and see if the lights in the brochure are only for the Legacy.

We got our 18.5 the same day. I think that I had downloaded the 18 brochure back in October or it may have been sent to me by either Tracy Peffley or John Thomas of Keystone.

Be sure to share how to do that with those of us that are not very mechanically (or electronically) inclined. We have a mid 2018 Legacy model as well. If it doesn't violate any DOT or state laws, I'd like to do the same.

Check this out. I'll let you know if I get arrested by the DOT.
