Custom LED tail lights - NOT IPCW

Here you go, enjoy !

This ended up being alot more work than I thought, mostly because the bottom lights are not the same size as the tops. I was warned by someone so I knew a little bit of modifying would have to be done, it was worth it though!

Yes had to cut the sheet metal , the hole where the back up light is was about 1/2" smaller than I needed it to be. Nothing the Dremel didnt handle in a few minutes......

Yes I could put them back to stock if needed. The LED's are actually from WalMart, they are meant to be used on a tractor/trailer. They are like 15 bucks and change a piece. I cut off the back of the stock tail light and epoxied the truck LED's to the back of the tail light bezel.
