Looks good, but you still need a back up light.
I thought about doing what you did except cutting out the back of the original and replacing it with the LED light, but it didn't look right at all.

If anyone is looking for leds, go to a truck/trailer shop. I work at one and you'd be suprised at all of the different kinds. Your bound to find something that you'll like.

Trouble with the clear/coloured is they turn yellow after a year or so. Otherwise, they look real sharp.

I NEVER had mine turn yellow. In the 2 years that I had my first set (had them replaced at the begining of summer, lifetime warrenty hahaha) they never yellowed. They did get dimmer on the brighter brake side though, so I took em in and got new ones.

iirc... autozone has some led bulbs that plug in, and they are only about 15 bucks for both sides... also where did the backup light go? i dont know about where you are located but up here in mass, no backup lights = no pass on the inspection!

Nice job. Personally I wouldn't do it that way. But it looks cool. Using that kind of light my idea would be to put them in a rollpan and fill and smooth the original place for the lights. Also would be a good idea to have backup lights.

I don't like it, it looks cobbled together (coming from a guy who painted his truck with a roller 
). Points for originality, though.
Love the color of your truck. I had a 74 in high school that was about that shade.
