    Everything seated well from behind? If you have the lens sealed off good then that is the next place I would check.

    I think color-matches headlights & taillights only look good on white tacomas.

    so you get my vote for I like it.

    Nice job on doing something different. I think they look good, but I would like to see the reflectors still red to give a little contrast. Just my 2 cents. Great work though!

    Thanks :)

    I'll get a few once it gets a little darker this evening

    Thanks!

    LOL

    I had thought about that but in the end decided against it. I kind of like the solid white look the more I look at it.

    Oh... Sorry about that brother.

    Yes they would look fine. The method would be the same and you can tape off as much or as little as you like.

    Not a problem! I didn't specifically ask for opinions so my mistake :p

    Okay, because I originally wanted to buy a new set either stock or black from anzo. Is there a write-up you followed?

    Drove through a hell of a storm on the way to ride today. Stopped at Sam's on the way back and snapped these shots.

    No leaking (so far) and no condensation.

    They may not be real fond of white signal lights though.
