So my rear bumper (When finished) will protect the Taillights, however will prevent me from changing bulbs with out removing the bumper, which is a pain
The other issue is, when I turn the lift gate into a tailgate, the top half will no longer open...Agian, can't change bulbs..
So I needed a solution. LED's
I found some covers on Ebay for $15 bucks that look like carbon fiber, this is as close to clear that I could get, for off the shelf
Then, I removed the plastic lens from a factory set of lights and cut a small slot for the main 4" red LED light. I used a 2" amber for the top, and found 2" white led lights for the back ups. These will all be glued in.
Then I will glue the new covers on.. I may also paint the now reflective needed black.
Total cost...about a $110 bucks or so, not including the spare factory lenses I had.
