Hydro dip the inner workings and that could look pretty good. My brother would be all over those.

That hydro-dipping is freakin cool. My buddy is thinking about having his AR done in camo. A friend on here did his wheel caps in skulls and they came out great. That's a great idea for the shrouds.

I've been testing these tail lights on my truck. So far so good!

Started off with this.

They've been painted inside to imitate the Harley tail lights. Here's a comparison. Mine on the left, OEM Harley on the right.

I wired them so that they come on with the brake light/turn signal. At night, only the regular running lights are on until you step on the brakes.

Sign me up for these when you are all finished! Are they led lights for the tails? And would you be able to do top and bottom?

I added LEDs to the bottom only on this set. They can be added to the top, bottom, or probably even the side if you wanted! I could also add some white ones in where the reverse light goes.

Sweet! I'd have to look at my flareside tails to see how they are put together, but i know i would like them to be bottom and top.
What kinda quality LEDs are these?

I'm using LEDs from TRS
Maybe I'll order a set of flareside tails and see what I come up with.
