Re: stepside tailights????

I am going to have the same decision to make on both of my stepsides.

I have been thinking about putting a roll-pan on one of them and putting the lights it.

I saw picture on here one time where a guy used a shortened bumper off an El Camino that had tail-lights in it, looked pretty good.

nope just drilled the mounting holes. real simple, super bright they have 13 LED's and a relector in the middle so they are completely legal.

Re: stepside tailights????

Kind of depends on what the "overall theme" of your truck is.

For something retro I went with '64 Impala tailights.

Re: stepside tailights????

Those Imp lights look really slick on the 60-66 style fenders. I usually don't like like lights mounted in the fenders, but those work really nice on that truck.

Re: stepside tailights????

I found some cheap chopper tail lights on ebay. I lowered the stock mount plates, they used the same mounting holes as the originals.

Do you have the description of the taillight. I have looked on the website and did not find a 13 LED light. Does yours have the amber lights in the middle?

Thanks, Kyle

Unfortunately I don't. I bought them off ebay 2-3 years ago from an individual. If I was smart, I'd have found out where he got them and start selling them here. They're undoubtedly made in China but look to be of good quality. There's no name on them. Mine don't have the amber reflector in the center.

CLOSERTOWHOLESALE is the seller on EBAY for these LED's. They are topnotch with built in resistor boards.

I have been on that website and found some that look like them but they are missing the amber 3 LED's in the middle. Maybe I will have to contact them to see if they have them and just don't show them on the website.

Thanks for the input.

Kyle
