Which one of the pics looks best?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jpaitala · 02-13-2005, 05:56 AM

As I finished with painting the cab of my truck I moved on to doing the bodywork on the box. Currently I'm doing the custom rear lights.... I have mounted one pair of rear lights but I'm not sure how many I should use. So I photoshopped a couple of options....

Tell me which one you like the best?

The lights are from '65 Impala, so if 3 lights per side is the way to go the lights in the middle are gonna be white as they are the backup lights.

jlive68 · 02-13-2005, 06:38 AM

I like the 3 on each side. Just my .02...

I like the three as well, the other one and two just to me dont look right

Where is the license plate going to go? Does Finland have one of those really long plates? If you are planning onputting a license plate box in the pan you need to photoshop that in too.

If the plate isn't going to be mounted in the pan, then I like the thre light set up too....

I already made a sinking plate for the license plate. I will add a pic of that later... I'm thinking about only one light per side. Our license plates are a bit wider than the US ones but not as wide as the Germans have.

franko72 · 02-13-2005, 11:21 AM

threee I agreee

soleeagle · 02-13-2005, 11:45 AM

I agree it seems that 3 is the way to go.

Rollie396 · 02-13-2005, 12:04 PM

three for sure.What's the plan for reverse lights?Lookin good btw!

RonRdRcr · 02-13-2005, 12:29 PM

I vote for three here.

Ron

70short/step · 02-13-2005, 01:15 PM

**Canadian694x4** · 02-13-2005, 01:51 PM

Count me in for 3 too...I love Kenworth's

jpaitala · 02-13-2005, 03:43 PM

Here's the pic of the license plate thing....

SanitysBane · 02-13-2005, 05:28 PM

3 for me

GenIIIShorty · 02-13-2005, 05:51 PM

i'd say three, even with the license plate sink-in

Joe67 · 02-13-2005, 05:56 PM

If I have to pick, I'd say three on each side

Brainchild · 02-13-2005, 06:14 PM

I like 2 best.And with the plate I think It would look better.

**N2TRUX** · 02-13-2005, 10:45 PM

Ok, now I see. I think one is too plain. I would go with two for sure. If it still looks a little plain, then add the third one....

CG · 02-15-2005, 09:56 PM

go with three and put one of those old cougar turn signal sequential set ups in there. now that would be cool.

I agree with you on that 100%. It would be real neat to see when the turn signal is on!

Ric83 · 02-18-2005, 03:08 PM

I like the three on each side, but after seeing the plate, I think I would go w/ just one on each side.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-20-2005, 11:45 AM

I SAY 3, WITH THE ONES IN THE MIDDLE CLEAR FOR REVERSE, WEIRD EH

HEAVY CHEVY · 02-20-2005, 08:45 PM

I'll go with the three also with the center one white for the reverse just like the Impala setup.And like cg said check on using the sequentials from the old cougar.
Cannot get those OLD IMPALAS out of my mind and am glad to see someone using their light setup.Guess I'm partial to those oldies.
Cannot wait to get mine done[65 impala]

Liftedassdodge · 02-15-2005, 10:27 PM

I dont know if those are the right lights to use, I was never really one to like anything but leds in the roll pan
