Gouging on the shipping!! OUCH!

Anyway, you would need to run red bulbs for the brake/turn/park bulbs.

That would be illegal. Brake lights are required to be red. Stock bulbs are clear with a red lense.

Most ebay sellers will tell you anything just to sell something,,,,,,,,, You need red bulbs for clear tails and the led ones that they sell in local auto part stores dont last long at all.. I`ve tried them, i`ll never try them again...what email address am i sending taillight pics to??

Thse are illegal no matter what bulb you run in them. You'll still have to have some kind of red reflector visible from the back and side. Just depends on how big of an *** the cop wants to be if he tickets you for it or calls it good with the red reflection but reflection and reflector are two different things and it states it must be seen from the rear and side. This is why the older trucks and cars (before they wraped the tails and front markers around the body) also had side markers.


All clears are still my fav kind of tails if we could only get away with it still.
