Aftermarket Lights Pictures

I just wanted to see if anyone is running these style tail lights. I just ordered a set for when my trucks finished and wanted to see if anyone else is running them and if they like them.

Yeah, to each their own. I like the stock tails but mine were junk and I figured something different would be fun.

Re: Anyone running these tail lights?

I like the originals better but I think those are kinda cool looking....but the only reason I'd switch to those is if I had euro headlights and parking/turn signal lights...then they'd look fine..but with just stock stuff to me, just stay stock...but that's only my opinion

Im gonna run all LED's around the truck, so I'll put red LED towers in the tails.

To The "10", at some point Ill build HID projectors for the front of the truck and get the clear corners. The trucks gonna be a Chrysler Black Metallic and Chevy medium Silver Metallic. I think they will fit the paint scheme nicely. Ill hopefully have the truck done in a month or 2, I'm getting antsy.

Re: Anyone running these tail lights?

Those look pretty nice on your truck. I looked at about every style they have for these trucks and settled on mine since I didn't see many with them on.

Those look like sex compared to the usual ugly chrome "euro" tail lights.

Re: Anyone running these tail lights?

Which ones, his or mine? How about pictures of anyone running anything other than stock lights on their truck.

Aftermarket lights.

Yeah, to each their own though. Im going with a stock/modern look for my truck. Stock style paint, shaved drip rails, smothed cab seam, shaved stake pockets, clear lights and led's in most of the stuff.

Re: Anyone running these tail lights?

Those ones at the top wouldn't be bad if the lenses were red.

I got a set of factory chrome trim ones. They work for me.

Re: Anyone running these tail lights?

5-10 years ago that's what I would've run, but nowadays, I like original stuff...

They keep original looking lights on the shelf at the local O'Reilly's here...
