by florida law, your vehicle is required to have these lighting standards
Your car must have the following lights:

* Bright (high-beam) headlights which show objects 450 feet ahead.
* Dimmed (low-beam) headlights which show objects 150 feet ahead.
* Two red taillights mounted on the rear, visible from 1,000 feet.
* A white light that makes the license plate visible from 50 feet (The plate must be kept clean).
* Two red stoplights. They must be seen from 300 feet in the daytime, and must come on when the foot brake is pressed.

my mom works for Boca Police Department, and says that if someone rear ends you, and wants to get smart, they can hire a lawyer to find it your fault! just saying!
 
Maybe this will help, this is up to date as of 2010.

I saw somewhere someone using pantyhose. It looked great in the pictures but I can't say yay or nay on it. True Story.
