Taillight Help
Ok so right now in my 86 swb i have taillights in the rollpan,they were there when i bought the truck,and personally i don't like them.I had planned on going back to the original taillights,but i wanna see if there are any lights in the roll pans out there that actually look good,so if you could post some pics,that would be great,thanks!

Re: Taillight Help
Haha naaa it has the taillights shaved,you cant really tell in this picture but when you get up close the shave job was done really bad,so the fillers and stuff are comin off,so before i finally decide to go back to the originals i just wanted to get some better ideas for the roll pan,because i dont like the ones in there now.

Re: Taillight Help
I agree wih going back to the stock lights.
But maybe you should look at putting caddy lights in since you have to put lights back in the bed.  I plan on getting a set for my truck.

Re: Taillight Help
I'd like to see caddy tails mounted horizontally in the roll pan.

Re: Taillight Help
These look nice. Not sure what they are from. You could put some l.e.d.'s from www.customclassic.com

Re: Taillight Help
LED's or stock if it where me. Maybe cat eye style??? i dunno. I think the rear just does not look right without the tails in the stock location. Just makes the bed look strange to me. Also remember the led's will not be too bright in the sunshine which has caused rearendings before.... then again the other driver should have been paying attention.
