I'd honestly go with the clear lights that you posted in the very first link in your very first thread. I think those would go perfect with your truck. You really can't go wrong with clear heads and tails.

Kinda differing opinions?

So these don't look good...

What do you mean as far as differing opinions Dewman??

And those clears look ok but I'm not too big on clear tails. I love the look of clear headlights and darkened tails but the clear tails seem a but ricey to me even on a truck.

Differing opinions because you said, and I quote:

And Ty responded with:

Seems like 2 different opinions to me...
Also, If I "can't go wrong with clear heads AND tails, as you stated, how are they "too ricey" for you?

Dewman, I think those look awesome on your truck because you have that grey band accros your tailgate, and the lights blend right into it.

On my truck, I dont think that they would look good, just like the black headlights.

My point was that I like the clear headlights but as far as tails go I would rather have them darkened than cleared.

Thanks Ty,
it is actually an aluminum "plate", for lack of a better term.

I have seen this same style with a "smoked" lens instead of clear. It is much darker, though not black.

Here is an example for 97-01 F150's:

"Carbon" style:

"Halo" style:

Yeah the name on those lights is "Altezza" or "Euro" lights. Why try to make a domestic truck like an F150 look like anything else??????

Why try to make an F150 look like a swamp monster?
Why try to lift it so that it sits higher than a semi?
Why try to make it sound like a warehouse full of angry tigers?
Why try to make it look prettier than a peacock?


Why Not? Why not make it look like whatever you want it to look like?
I kinda thought that was the entire purpose of "mods"!
