Anyone running these tail lights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CorKey723 · 02-26-2011, 07:18 PM

I just wanted to see if anyone is running these style tail lights. I just ordered a set for when my trucks finished and wanted to see if anyone else is running them and if they like them.

NOOOOOOO, Originals only for my truck

CorKey723 · 02-28-2011, 07:31 AM

Yeah, to each their own. I like the stock tails but mine were junk and I figured something different would be fun.

Gotta get red bulbs for them

I like the originals better but I think those are kinda cool looking....but the only reason I'd switch to those is if I had euro headlights and parking/turn signal lights...then they'd look fine..but with just stock stuff to me, just stay stock...but that's only my opinion

Im gonna run all LED's around the truck, so I'll put red LED towers in the tails.

To The "10", at some point Ill build HID projectors for the front of the truck and get the clear corners. The trucks gonna be a Chrysler Black Metallic and Chevy medium Silver Metallic. I think they will fit the paint scheme nicely. Ill hopefully have the truck done in a month or 2, I'm getting antsy.

I'm not much on the lights, but would like to see pics of the truck...

CorKey723 · 02-28-2011, 12:57 PM

Theres not much to see right now, its in my neoghbors garage so we can do the body work. Ill put up a pic from when I still had it.

When I bought it.

Before it got moved.

Blue Chevy 1987 · 02-28-2011, 10:48 PM

im running these.

CorKey723 · 03-01-2011, 08:21 AM

Those look pretty nice on your truck. I looked at about every style they have for these trucks and settled on mine since I didn't see many with them on.

Chlsnk · 03-01-2011, 10:42 AM

Those look like sex compared to the usual ugly chrome "euro" tail lights.

CorKey723 · 03-01-2011, 12:47 PM

Which ones, his or mine? How about pictures of anyone running anything other than stock lights on their truck.

smashingchuck · 03-01-2011, 02:14 PM

not a fan.

CorKey723 · 03-01-2011, 03:23 PM

Yeah, to each their own though. Im going with a stock/modern look for my truck. Stock style paint, shaved drip rails, smothed cab seam, shaved stake pockets, clear lights and led's in most of the stuff.

jrcaprai · 03-01-2011, 05:42 PM

Not a fan, looks like rice to me

CorKey723 · 03-01-2011, 07:11 PM

Id consider these more rice, but like I said to each their own. Theres always going to be something someone does I dont like either. Nice to hear everyones opinion though.

Altec · 03-01-2011, 08:35 PM

Those ones at the top wouldn't be bad if the lenses were red.

I got a set of factory chrome trim ones. They work for me.

CorKey723 · 03-01-2011, 11:10 PM

I have to agree there.

What brand / catalog did those come out of? I like those.

jchav62 · 03-02-2011, 12:36 PM

5-10 years ago that's what I would've run, but nowadays, I like original stuff...

They keep original looking lights on the shelf at the local O'Reilly's here...

West Texas Z · 03-02-2011, 12:52 PM

OEM or nothing here....I would like to see something new and different for our trucks nothing too ricey. The red ones that BlueChevy87 posted would look ok with a light tint to them. Just my .02
