Got my tail lights on finally

Girlfriend got these for me for Christmas. Finally got the chance to put them on. I was going to throw them on a few weekends ago but her car ended up dying so I had to work on it instead. Didn't have time to do it this week cause I spent my free time on Bourbon Street :).

On with the pics, I'll get some better ones tomorrow or whenever I clean it. I ended up dremeling a hole on the lower part for the turn signal. Was super easy.

Also got a 9" Ford emblem and '06 Ranger badge for the tailgate to finish the '06 look from the back. Still need '06 corners and mirrors to finish it for me.

Thanks guys, I love the look of them. Best tails I think you can get for a Ranger personally.

Ya. Mine already had a hole down there from a previous owner having strobes on them. I just put mine in them and works perfect. I wanted to just swap rear harnesses but the '98 and '99 trucks are missing two pins in the rear harness for the turn/brake combo bulb.

Here is what I had before. They are just stockers that I put two coats of nightshade on to blend the orange and red. I don't like solid black lights but to me it was the perfect amount of nightshade.

Tail lights look good. But the "NO Bama" bumper sticker looks better

I need to get a bigger Nobama 2012 sticker. The one on there is to small but it was only a $1. I love when I see someone role up behind me and see them point and say something. It usually followed with a thumbs up or either a shaking of the head.

I got no need for those old tails so if you want them we can work something else. If not, they are going in the attic.
