SD tails ftw





i love mine but i did have to paint the insides first and the only mod is to bed down a piece inside the bed sides and the reverse light sockets are different

i love the tails so much. so how did you have to modify the reverse light? and why did you have to paint them? and those headlights are perfect man. i just dont know how they would look on mine after the Ranch Hand goes on, think clear might just looks better. but i love smoked heads

i havent done anything with the reverse lights yet since i have aux ones under the truck but it will consist of splicing into the factory harness and adding the SD ones but theyre just too expensive to order now at like 30 a side and i dont HAVE to have them

oh gotcha. that sucks, was hoping it would be easier/cheaper. so you have to order the connectors? but instead of doing grilles i'll just do that at a later date. wanna get my bumper, e-fan, removal of TB spacer and new transmission first. then onto the tails and running lights. and hoping to find someone witha tuner i could borrow

What about the grille? And reverse lights aren't required here in Texas? really? Hmm. And do you have a part number for the connectors? Got a buddy at a dealership

dont have the part numbers but if you have a hookup i might get some. they arent required since they arent used when your driving but more of a warning for backing up. i had a 95 dodge that they just didnt work on and never even bothered to look into it since it didnt matter and it passed inspection everytime

Hmm good to know, I'll look into getting some. They look awesome. And I'll ask him what they go for. Just ask for the reverse light connectors or sockets?
