Re: stepside tailights????
I am going to have the same decision to make on both of my stepsides.
I have been thinking about putting a roll-pan on one of them and putting the lights it. I saw picture on here one time where a guy used a shortened bumper off an El Camino that had tail-lights in it, looked pretty good.

Re: stepside tailights????
nope just drilled the mounting holes. real simple, super bright they have 13 LED's and a relector in the middle so they are completely legal.

Re: stepside tailights????
Kind of depends on what the "overall theme" of your truck is.
For something retro I went with '64 Impala tailights. |

Re: stepside tailights????
Those Imp lights look really slick on the 60-66 style fenders. I usually don't like like lights mounted in the fenders, but those work really nice on that truck.

Re: stepside tailights????
I found some cheap chopper tail lights on ebay. I lowered the stock mount plates, they used the same mounting holes as the originals.

Re: stepside tailights????
Unfortunately I don't. I bought them off ebay 2-3 years ago from an individual. If I was smart, I'd have found out where he got them and start selling them here. They're undoubtedly made in China but look to be of good quality. There's no name on them. Mine don't have the amber reflector in the center.

Re: stepside tailights????
CLOSERTOWHOLESALE is the seller on EBAY for these LED's. They are topnotch with built in resistor boards.
