Re: New Style Cab Light Pics? Need some options

I hear you want to see the sleek blacked out lights to subdue them. I guess not many have, but hopefully someone can show a picture. Now this is my opinion, but also "why" I like the clearance lamps in the first place, I say run what belongs and let them show proud. That's what they are all about. Try to blend them and it's "what are those little bumps on the roof?". You lose the clean smooth look of nothing up there while not gaining the stand tall and proud this is a real truck coming down the road look that clearance lamps are all about. GM designed them to be quite sleek as well as minimal size. Amber belongs showing to the front and sides while red belongs on the rear. Anything else just doesn't belong. Clear and smoked lenses scream modern era, wrong era, doesn't belong, possibly Pep Boys/JC Whitney/K-mart rash. These are lights. They are meant to be seen. I say if you want them hid then forgot the whole idea. If you want lights, put the ones that belong and there will be no question if it's right or not...because it just plain would be right...cuz GM said so.
