Not bad. I personally am a fan of the stock lens but those look pretty good.

A for effort and ingenuity. It is certainly diffrent.

Looks good!

Another option to play with with them would be to see if they work backwards, so the *** goes inwards. It would keep the outside looking flush if you wanted, but still something unique

I like them... If you want something a little differenter... I once had a '60 chevy and adapted '63 tail lights to it... they had to be ground down in diameter and redrilled but the chrome ring added a little bling (we didn't have bling back then).

they are a lot like what you have now... might be worth a look... I'm not sure the diameter of yours so the '63s might be too small... but worth a look

later
