Just dont get the alteza style ones and you wont look to bad.. Unless you like the rice grinder look and like to pick strawberrys....But then maybe you could just get one of those chrome chain steering wheels to top it off. Sorry just having a little fun...

They put the reverse lights on top because apparently they will light up behind you better when in reverse at night. And the reversed the headlights to lower the headlights to try not to blind everybody on the road. I don't like it, so thats why I have my truck

Kenny, i have the clear third brake light, and wow is it bright. That, combined with the tail lights, and the line of fire, is blinding. One of my buddy said when my truck has the flashers on, it's better than fireworks. If a car is behind me during the night, i can tap my brakes and see the person's face. The brightness is enough to make them back off.

So thats why they are upside down. Astetics plays a role and those look like chit upside down.

On the whole 3rd brake light thing, im tinting mine. I think it will look the best and it probably the cheapest. I just need to figure out what paint to use im clearing over the tint im using so it wont come off.

PS I can photo shop the lights if you want

at hobby shops they have clear enamel that works pretty good, just brush them on quick cuz it dries fast and can streak. I use to use them on my uh...rice burners when I was a teen.......

Yes, I just need to have a picture of the the back with both lights in, and another photo with the same shot of someone elses truck with them. Like i could use tnt's picture and photoshop those lights on ur truck, i just need one similar picture like that. I've been playing with photoshop lately....

I was reading somewhere about using a certain paint and clear and it will never come off unless they are sanded. I saw them this way and they looked awesome so im going to try to do that.
