Default Led SMD taillight install

I decided to install leds in my tail lights (where most people paint black). Need some consensus whether to trash the look and go back to stock. If it looks cheesy please tell me!

I like it, good job. Link to the leds you used?

Also screw it, its your truck, dont let anyone else tell you what to do with it, unless they are paying your bills.

I used Opt7 SMD led in red off eBay! Really cheap mod for those who want to do it.

Myself, no. You put time and effort in it, and I'm not trying to embarrass, or whatever. Bottom line is, if "YOU" like it, go for it. It's definitely unique.

Thanks for the feedback, and trust me no feelings hurt here! I wasn't sure if this would even look good. I thought I tried it out. And honestly there was no effort installing these. Hardest part was removing the tail lights, and that's easy.

Im jot being a dick! Just my opinion, but these look the the cheap attempt a vendor on here did a while back. Except, they put the smd strip inside the lights.

No offense, but I dont like either version. Heres a link, to the other ones....
