Phil, I agree with you regarding how seat belts can aid in keeping you in your seat. I suppose that I was merely pointing out a reality for those who might fall into a false sense of security, believing that they would really do much.

As far as lighting; I always have always added either more original lights to the tail of of any MV, mounted in original style fashion to avoid looking like they were an addition. In cases where original was not the best, I have at least purchased mil-spec lights from another vehicle to look the part, eg M series lights on a CMP.
Much better than civvy added lights. This is another area where a 12v upgrade to the existing electrical system doesn't really stick out but adds another margin of safety. Turn sigs are a pretty simple addition as well.
