brake lights...



yea i know half my light bar is out...

That definitely looks awesome. thanks for getting that pic for me. I think i am going to have to do this. And then to mitigate Rich's good point about the reverse lights, i will do what Jo did for reverse lights, i just don't know how that will look seeing as i have black bumper, maybe get really bright bulbs and tint the housing of those as well, lol.

Your taillights look good, but I prefer it with the reverse lights taped off.
Here are mine, there not quit as dark as yours, but they do look a little darker in person.
I think it gives it a little more of a "custom" look with the reverse lights still useable.
Just my  :cents:

honestly the reverse lights and my tint are about worthless, although my tailgate light bar has reverse lights and those little led's are much better than the stock bulbs in my tails

I used the VHT Nightshades for my tail lights.. after I was done thouhgt I went too far.  Luckily I have an 07 with the bulbous tail lights, so I took some 220 grit and sanded the centers back some and hit the lenses with two coats of clear. Now they are perfect, they look absolutely darked out, but the center round sections of the 07 tail lights let light out perfectly.. now to finish up the rest of the markers and such!
