Re: New tail lights what do you guys think?

I think they'll look pretty good once you fill the rest in. Should match the back up lights well. Looks like they could be further out though.

Re: New tail lights what do you guys think?

Actually I like them but I think it would really rock to have a pair of them, stacked to really give it a cool vibe!!!

Re: New tail lights what do you guys think?

I’ve always loved 50 Pontiac lights, I think they look great. Nice job blending them in. It would be even cooler if you could fabricate a custom backup lens for the lower part of the original cavity, leaving an appearance similar to the design of a 1950 Oldsmobile headlight.

I am a simple is better guy. I like the idea but I think when its done and the stock bumpers are on and the bed is all smoothed out. No stake pockets no tailgate chains. It'll look right. Before you place to much judgment let me get it finished first!

I went for a similar look. But I used 58 Chevy tail lights. If you scroll down you'll see them.

Looks great man

I think 2 is to much for me. Just wait till they're filled and done. It'll look right.
