the first tails also look like they might have a small tumor on the red reflector on the bottom

second i love

third are okay but LEDs might or might not be bright during the day

All of them i really didnt like. The last ones were the best though...

I used to have that body truck and I saw some (I think Altezzas) that were LED but looked almost OEM. REAL CLEAN!!!

Also be the first to try the 08 F250 tails on yours. See if they fit.

Those LED tails look awesome. Would you have to buy that thing for them so they dont blink fast or do you think its built into the wiring?

I found a way to ger $10 off my ScanGauge and as soon as the bank opens and accepts my deposit, I'm going to go order that and maybe some dome LEDS and the 3rd brake LEDS.


EDIT: w00t! I just checked my banking and the deposit just went through! BRB guys, Alex is going shoppping!

i think that they just replace the lenses and use the stock bulbs so i would still need the load resistor. except the last one which i think is leds already

If you want some L heads, get the set on Ebay, the have them all clear, instead of the yellow reflector at the bottom...Im getting those, b/c I have the 1pc headlights, and they're too much trouble, plus all the mexicans near where I live are taking my ideas and disgracing their F150's...


and get some red xenons for your headlights, that would look sick...

I like the look of the orange stripe underneath. If I could, I'd get HD heads instead of L's but I found a pair for $170 so those are coming in on my next paycheck.

I agree, Mexicanos love those 1-pieces. I hate those things.
