Yes they are countersunk, but the screws they supplied are temperproof, and I dont have a tamperproof driver, hard to believe but I dont

I only have number 10 in SS right now(not in pic), but 8s would fit better

those are nice but mine are shaved.

Shannon, heres a pic of the backing plate after you remove the lense. Then all you have to do is shave down the ridges with a dremel. There isnt any aluminum foil type matrl. behind the reflecter so the light just shines through

Please let me say at this time that....
68Stepbed........I HATE YOU!

Just when I thought I had all my Billet Issues taken care of,
now YOU have to post THIS!

Seriously...Thank you.
Now I need to see if they make these with the Clear lenses, or if my Clear Lenses are interchangable.
Thanks again.

The red reflector is only siliconed into a recess, so you should be able to undo it very easily

sdailey · 09-30-2011, 09:02 PM

Thanks for the picture and explanation Jim.

I could make the billet housing in a pinch easy. I don't have a source for the reflector or a light housing. I wonder it the oem reflector could be modified to fit the back side. I think I may have to buy one and r&d this puppy. I like them.

**jaros44sr** · 10-01-2011, 06:10 PM

If you buy one it will set you back 50.00! Or, you could get the demensions from me. Lense matrl. could be made from any flat colored or not plastic, it sits in a recess.

Radius? Ill have to find my gauge....it will probably be in my sons tool box in NY LOL

I was really Hot on this idea,
but then I'd have to get matching Tail Light/Brake Light Bezels.
So then were talking almost $500.00, that could be spent else where right now. ;(

Function over form

Modified the bulb holder and factory lense
