Tailight conversion... whadda U think?
Old tailights were starting to rust and worn from years of abuse from the weather... I went with these and think they look pretty good. All 4 light up when you hit the brakes... No reverse light ( who looks behind them anyway.
Now look at the new ones

I don't like the bubble lights...just not my cup of tea. I just replaced my taillight lenses with stock replacements, I intend to change the backup lights out with another pair of new stock taillights. I have a set of tiny, square driving lights I found on clearance at Wal-Mart that I'll tuck under the rear bumper to serve as backups. As a bonus, they'll be a hell of a lot brighter.
