Tinted My Tails

Well I am not 100% happy with them, but decided I want to see how they look. I agree with what Mblouir said about them, he said that my truck doesn't look good with dark "cherry" lights and I agree. I was thinking about getting darker LED taillights to match my 3rd Brake light. I decided to just give them a light smoke not black them out

Anyways here's the pics:

Its not bad, but I would definitely do darker, or get smoked LEDs for the best look, if you get the LED's post some pics because I am thinking about maybe getting those down the road

They look good, not too over done, sometimes going to dark can make them look a bit goofy.

They're actually pretty shiny, but there was a storm rolling through when I was taking these pictures so it tones them down alot.

I am going to get LED tails eventually so this is just temporary

Thanks for the compliments guys

I found one for cheap, and this tailgate has some bad scratches and really bad dings. Our local body shops are through the roof. I got quoted $665 to fix just the tailgate



See the bad dents under the emblem and there is a big dent on the top 1o'clock area, and the bad scratch near that area too
