    That's damn impressive. Nice to know the paint on these trucks can still look that good if taken care of.


    Better than any similar decal you could ever buy. That took 20 years to earn.

    Beautiful detail job too. I'm inspired.

    I'm confused. I thought the lenses are what made the pattern. Swapping the aftermarket lenses to OEM housings would still give off the same crappy pattern wouldn't it?

    Stuff. Also things.
    I thought it was the reflector that created the pattern for the stock lights. Looks like those aftermarket ones were doing a shitty job of keeping the light in phase across the pattern.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    No the lens does not. The reflector does. Remember the bulbs light get reflected from the small cylinder in the housing to the back of the reflector which in turn reflects it out to the road. This way you get as much of the light produced from the bulb as possible instead of just reflecting the back output of the bulb.
