    1. Do you have more pictures of your tail lights and how you did them? I really wanna do them soon, I'd probably ask for your help when I do :D

    2. Whats that horn like? Worth it? Just a lot louder?

    3. Where are you putting those rigids?

    dont tint your tail lights...

    get black housing ones.. they look alot better IMO and tinting defeats the purpose of tail lights.. letting people know when your stopping!

    Hmmm - I'm going to have to see both.

    I was in line with your thinking though Josh, can you just do the same things I see people do on the front lights? Take them apart, paint the chrome black, put it all back together and boom?

    I guess whenever I do that it would make sense to switch out LEDs too? I don't know anything about lights but I want to start pondering about them. I imagine it won't cost too much.

    Oh - and what is this picture of?? Rear fenders? Why would you have 3?

    he picked those up for some other guys here

    yours are already LED.. but.. yes.. basically the "black housing" im referring to is like what you do to headlights. the lens is clear, but the housings/inside is black. good thing about the tail lights is that you can just buy em. I bought mine from Ebay for 130 for the pair. have had them going on 3 years now and they look brand new still.

    you get the black look, but no lose of output.

    EDIT:

    here ya go.. even cheaper than what i paid
