Yeah I agree...too dark. The Harley tails would look perfect on your truck. Also do what I did, get some sandpaper and hi temp semigloss black spraypaint and go at that rearend. It will improve the looks of your truck 100% !

First off, "Slick" they were given to me from a friend who crashed his truck, so I didn't pay anything. And I don't like Harley tails, they look just like the stockers to me.

You must not have seen to many FX4s than, because ALOT of them come completely a single color, I believe the ones that are painted flat on the bottom are a slightly less expensive model.

I think the blacked out lights look good, they make the bed look a little longer which goes well with the lift proportionally. I really don't like the Harley tails either, had them on my black Lariat and they just didn't look right to me...not dark enough....I'd go for the dark look on the tails, one thing I've seen people do that I think looks cool is mask off the backup light area and just paint the red part, kind of breaks up all the black. Your truck looks great...have you thought about changing out the grey flares to black ones?

They appear a little grey in one of the pictures but other than that I like them. I myself would take the cover off and tint them myself so you can make them as dark as YOU want them.

I have a black lariat and I have the Harley Tails and niteshaded the third brake light.... i'm not a fan of the "black out" look... but the n.s. third brake light and harley tails look really good on these trucks on a black truck.

I have always prefered the stock (red, non darkend non altezza) tail lights but I gotta say I do dig the lift and the rim/rubber combo... All in all that is an AWESOME truck!

Nay. i see alot of people tinting their tails. car accident + good attorney could equal the slammer or a f____ing huge lawsuit. its not because they didnt see them or werent paying attention, its just the sue happy mothers that society is made up of.

If someone rear ends him cause his tails are dark its not his fault. The person who rear ended him needs to get off their cellphone or go to driving school if they can't tell the vehicle in front of them is slowing down or stopped without it having bright brake lights. Even though none of that matters if the person sues.

I do have to Nay though, those are really dark. I'd try Harley tails if it was my truck, but thats just my two cents, I read you dont like em but Idonno what other tails I'd put on that truck, I really don't like the aftermarket LED ricer burner pieces.

With that rationale...why bother having brake lights at all?
