I don't remember any of them, nor do I want to.
As suggested before. You just need to ignore ignorant people. Certain people just troll other people's post just to Some are obviously given a long leash

Default Here they are. (Yes, the car is filthy.)

Tail lights, no lenses.

Brake lights, no lenses.

Tail lights, with lenses.

Yep, they were on the car when I bought it. I liked them, so I trimmed the cups and had them set in further so you can't see the white housing lip. They look pretty good when the car is clean and shiny.

I really like the bubble lenses too. More futuristic looking and more importantly no chrome. I hate chrome. The problem is you need a white light for backup that they don't provide. So i save my inner lenses and put them on the day of inspection.

For all the crap we've given you them lights are sharp looking and they may even prevent someone from rear ending you. I'm just too much a cheap bastard to spend that much..

I'll take a shot like that tonight when it's dark, how about that. It should really blow you away.

Thanks man, that's appreciated.

I ran some wiring to the back, where I will probably use a small pair of fog lights mounted to the old muffler hanger brackets. I will use the old back up light wire to trip a relay, turning on the reverse fog lights. They will be mounted up under the back so you can't see them from a normal standing height, and they will flood the area behind the car with light. I would never back into anything that's for sure.

That's odd becuase I work construction in the summer also

It really didn't bother me. I was just mentioning that's what started it with Dboy for me.

I really don't care. I'm starting to get into to other vehicles and posting at other forums.

You can continue posting about stereos and lights, or yah and beer

I will try my best to stay out of these threads.
