The before pic is broken >.>
I would also recommend blocking out your license plate for all pictures of your car.

Well if I drive around with my license plate in a city of a million people, should be ok on here. Nothing wrong with the pic btw must be user error.

Looks really good. You might want to consider getting rid of that amber in the rear signal area, it would clean the look up even more. You want Sylvania Silverstar Signal Lights

I was thinking about making a build thread but I am not really doing much to the engine so I didnt feel its really a "build". Thanks for the compliments

Looks very nice. Not 100% sure about square led pattern in a shaped housing (inside 2 lights), but what do ya do eh?
The clear bottoms make a big difference too.

wow very nice! What you doing next?
I'd say get those rims painted a dark grey or maybe gold. Would look real nice.

Smoke the clear part a bit darker grey. The white clear is too bright and distracting from the rest of the rear....

Yeah, I dig it but the square pattern in a shaped housing irks me also, would look better if the LED pattern was almost like the housing shap its not too bad in the day but at night it just bothers me hahah but looks good otherwise, keep up the cool mods

Are they bright in direct sunlight? That's the question. Is there a big difference between lights on and braking?
I see so many trucks with LED tails that you can barely tell the difference between normal tail light with brake light.
Or in sunlight, you can barely see them.

These are really bright both when braking and not. At night I can light up a dark alley lol. Most things you see probably just have the buls rather than the whole taillight and yea there is not a huge diff with the cheap route like that.

thanks mang
Have you read many reviews on the lights?
Are they from a pretty reputable company? I just worry about moisture getting in to aftermarket light housings and ruining the nice fresh look.
They definitely look better than stock, way more modern. I need to agree with the square bank of lights looking kind of odd though.

Yes sir, these are made by Sonar, which is the same company that makes them for Junction Produce who sells ones that look identical for $1700usd. These are the most reputable make for this type of vehicle, they arent the cheap $99 taiwanese ones.

Just modify so the inner trunk lights go on during braking.
