the third brake light was a clear chrome LED light originally, then i put a few coats on it just cuz

but now i redid it with two more coats, and then a few coats of clear
the tails have about SIX light coats of VHT nightshades, and three coats of clear. i knew i could go darker on these and still not have any problems with the lights being seen in the day light. i couldnt be happier with them

 

Looks great! Really goes well with you truck.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Mmmmmm sex

 

I really like those tails!

 

Now get some tailight guards!

 

sweet dude

 

Those look awesome. Now all you need is a LED reverse light!!

 

i know! lol
its on the way

 

nice job but throw some clear on them too

 

Tails look good.

 

Looks sweet, I just ordered up some 06 tails The niteshade looks really good with your truck, flows good with the color.

 

A little to dark for my likings but they still look killer!

 

Looks great

 

no pictures WITH the clear???

 

the clear is on in the pics of it on the truck
just hard to tell
cell phone pics ftl

 

its only rattle can clear too, so it aint perfect

once i find my spray gun and everything i will reclear them.

 

love those tails! good job

 

you must've went super thin on the clear then cause it looks almost like mine w/o clear!

 

you'd have to see them in person.
the pics really do no justice. if i could find my camera charger i'd show you guys lol
but moving is a *****. and i cant find **** :(

 

i feel ya i just got back from college and have zero room to sleep in my own room!

but i bet in person it looks way better, i might clear my tails too...just wanted to see if its worth it...

 

yeah im in the same boat
just got back from college on friday, so im strugglin a bit right now lol
and yeah, its definitely worth the effort to clear them, but if you have access to a spray gun, i suggest it. rattle can clear never looks as good. it all depends on the nozzle too. and the nozzle this clear had wasnt too great..

 

Oh, here are ebay tails, vs L1224R LED tails

ebay


L1224R


L1224R way brighter! (and no, that is just running lights, not brake lights)

 

Looked good here...


And way too dark here...


Sorry I don't like it at all. With the brake lights on, they barely even look like tail lights on.

 

love the night shaded tails. hmm....next project for me? haha
