POLL IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!


I decided to remove the Ram's head I had painted on my old tail lights. I sanded them and recoated them with 3 coats of clear. I need your opinion as to which ones look the best, the stock trimmed in white or the clear smoked ones. And I know I'm going to hear color match the handles but I just don't have myself talked into that yet.

Ya think? I have thought about that but if I paint it and don't like it, I screwed! The Ram's head was bad enough to get of the stock ones and I could just imagine how hard it would be to get off the trim!

Could one of you photoshop wizards trim the smoked clears in white for me so I can see what it would like?

I agree with both of them.....smoked with painted trim should look pretty sweet

I like the stock trimmed in white, I think it looks sharp
I would trim mine with green if I had the time and patience to do it.

I voted for the smoked, but I would have to agree with the others that the smoked with the trim painted white would look awesome.

:waiting::waiting:for final decision.

I say tint the stock ones with nightshades and leave the white reverse lights untinted...that's just me.

There's nothing else red on the back of the truck so I think the red sticks out.

Thanks JoeMN! I decided to do the white trim on the smoked lenses.

Nice! They look good.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using for bulbs in those lenses? I'm using the red ones they sent along with the lenses but they are more pinkish than anything else. I need to get some new ones...maybe some red LEDs.

I'm using red led's and converted my backup lights to brake-turn lights.

This is what you have to do to convert your backup light.
