Don't like them. Put the stock ones back on or some '06+ tails.

Its up to you man, I used to have the euro look, and I decided to try some 06+ tails, and tint them, I liked how it looked before, but I do also like the dark look. Just trying to give you an idea for comparison.
Here is a before and after on mine...

Before,


After

I just dont like euros much anymore, however the all clear ones would probably look good on your truck... if you just dont like dark, but again, each to theyre own, Im just throwing you some ideas.

Your truck looks good, actually your truck is the one that made me decide to try out the tinted 06s.

I really like your tails, they could convince me to put a little nightshade on mine. How many coats did you apply?

Thanks man, I did 3, and a coat of clear. I probably should have let it dry longer between coats, and they might have been darker. If you want yours like mine, and not too dark.. I would just throw on a coat, let it sit and dry for a while, and then a second, and just keep going until you get what you want. I definalty suggest a coat of clear as well after your done.

I like em, but I think that they would look better if they had a black line around them to kinda offset the truck from the lights, kinda like a border around a picture...if ya know what I mean.

They look ok, i swear your truck looks like a buddy of mines that i ride with all the time lol its scary, even got the same color sticker on yours as him, he was the same tails and likes them but has major trouble keeping water out. We finally took clear finger nail polish and sealed them good, no problems since that...
