Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

Mine were pretty much butchered from the PO so I decided to fill them and leave the tail lights alone for now.Anyone here done it?? PICS?

I'll take some of mine (as soon as the rain stops)

Re: Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

I don't think I like the reverse lights shaved,,,,,looks empty like something is missing or forgotten or like the tail lights aren't correct for the body because they are to small with out the reverse lights.

just my thought

Re: Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

i don't want to move the tails, it's stock

this is my total goal, maybe cowl induction hood too, not very good at photoshopping hoods

and my current truck... a lil bit too long

Re: Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

Personally, I like it. I will most likely end up putting another style tail light in before I'm all said and done. Good practice for me either way. My driver bed side is pretty wavy and I'll probably end up looking for a donor. I appreciate the pics!

Re: Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

IMHO, If your gonna remove the rev lights, replace all of it with something
like caddy lights. (Personally I hate caddy light but you get general idea)

Re: Anyone shave just the reverse lights on a fleetside?

If I were to shave the back up lights, I would shave the tail lights as well and run them in a roll pan.

Like I said or like Jamis said, either one would be killer, just my $0.02
