    So my brother was backing out of the driveway the other day and managed to destroy my passenger side tail light. My gf came through with a clutch early birthday gift though. I've been watching these lights on ebay for goin on 2 yrs now and just never pulled the trigger lol. Installed them this morning...
    and i know the quality of the pics and video isn't the best but its from my old crappy cell phone so hopefully it gets the job done well enough haha

    Nice looking lights! I've always wanted to see these on a black ranger. I've only seen them on red, burgandy, or white ones. Looks good.

    Thank you!! i really like them. i'd never seen them on a black one either and i thinks that's why i kept waiting so long to get them.

  12. Do you have a picture with more of the truck in it? I'd like to see em with it. How much did they run you costwise?

    i'm at work right now but if its light enough when i get out i'll try to take some. if not, tomorrow for sure. my gf got them for me as a birthday gift so not 100% sure but the ones i'd been watchin were right around 130 shipped for the plug-n-play set-up
     
  14. Alright, awesome man. And yeah, I was lookin on ebay. That ain't too bad considering stock ones are almost a hundred new anyways.

    yeah that's the way i feel about it too. i've also had aftermarket tails on both of my previous rangers (98 xlt 4x4 and 04 xlt 4x4) and these honestly fit the best out of any of the ones i've had

    They look real nice man! I have the same ones as well! Now all you need to do is to Night shade them properly to get rid of that eBay look and your set :D.

    Those do look nice. I had night shade on my stock tails with the reverse taped off. I don't know how i feel about doin it to these though. I mean i liked it on the other ones but wasn't overly crazy about it

    Do you have any pics of the full rear of the truck and also any night pics? I was just wondering how well the brake lights show through with the leds. Also how many coats did you use? thanks man!
