So I had this idea...



I took apart my taillights...





...and drilled a hole...



..did some cutting...





...and CAREFUL welding...



...a bit of assembly...



...some wiring and neat LED bulbs...

...and a lens kit from Outback Truck Parts. Check local laws for legality. Have a nice day!

YEP -- I DID THAT WITH MY TAIL LIGHTS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I'VE BEEN RUNNING DUAL BULBS IN MY TAIL LIGHTS FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT DIDN'T GO WITH CLEAR LENSES. THERE IS A PHOTO ALBUM UNDER WEBSHOTS IN MY SIGNATURE THAT WILL GIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THE CONVERSION. http://community.webshots.com/user/junkyardjohn LOOK UNDER HOBBIES & INTERESTS JOHN
