Tail Light Opinion!!
Clear or Red tail light cover? What do you guys think looks best with the Hugger Orange? Side note...not a bad looking original paint on that tailgate!!!

Re: Tail Light Opinion!!
im not a huge fan of clear lens on our trucks unless all of them are done and its on a solid paint job with no trim. just my opinion.

Re: Tail Light Opinion!!
Me too on the Red,gives a lot more visibility with brakes/turn and this is a safety issue .

Re: Tail Light Opinion!!
Gotta say red, the only clear lenses I like on our trucks are the clear ( instead of the factory orange ) signal/parking light lenses on the 71/72 trucks with 1157NA bulbs so the lenses show orange when activated.
