Exclamation Flareside euro tails

does anyone out there have a picture of a flareside bed with the new euro tail lights installed. I am thinking about ordering a pair but would really like to see them on a truck before investing. all the pix I have seen so far are just the product alone.

wegie,

ask a distributor to have some available for you to look at in person and possibly let you put one on your truck so you'll see if you like the look.
I've asked a distributor to bring me the red/clear lenses for me to look at. And I'll be asking again to check out the alteeza/euro ones. I'm guessing since these are new they'll be on back-order just like the red/clear ones.

I like the way the 2001 Lightning lights look for the rear, I just couldn't wait.

Figure if I don't like'm, I can return them...or if I use'm for a bit, I can just sell'm...

My winter tires came today though...just two days too late.

Thumbs up

Looks good, do you have any closer shots?

Also, couple of other off topic questions.

1) What percent tint did you get? I've been trying to decide.
2) Did you lose any seat clearence with your custom box? Right now I've got my amps mounted on my box and I can't flip my armrest up and down without moving the seat foward... I also lost about 1" of seat clearence in the back there. I was wondering how you've got yours setup?

Thanks!
Daniel

I am not 100% sure about the legality issue, but the tail light above can be found at

http://www.procarparts.com
and at

http://www.autosyndicate.com

probably at other places by now that I am not aware of. they are not the llightning tails. I hear they have them on ebay also.

that is a good price, bomber.
but compare the pictures. not the same product. though, losing one colored lens to save over $100. might be worth it.

YEa i know what you mean. about deatails. ive gotten real picky. next time i get new tires the white writing is going on the inside like my currect ones are.

Any way im glad we all got this cleared up. i like both also the Altezza and the all clear ones. I have a friend photoshopping both onto my truck to see what looks better, ill probably go with the all clear ones becuase of price and i do like the way they look. ANy way sorry for all the confusion and be being so picky and precise.
