Im really considering changing the taillights on my 77 to 94+ s-10 just flipped and reversed. Is there any way someone could help me out by putting the flipped lights off the s-10 on the pic of my 77? And if you want to get really crazy you could shave the tailgate smooth for me :) Any help would be greatly appreciated. :metal:
Thanks

hows this? close to what you want?

Oops... forgot the other taillight...

Any pics you got. love these lil swb got, one myself.

Oh yea 700 posts

flipped??

flipped??

I think the S10 in the OP already have them flipped from stock. So you flipped the flipped. I think they look better like you've done them... but I don't really like the S10 taillight very much to start with.

Wow thanks a bunch guys for all your help.:metal: XXL do you know of any other taillights that might look good? AesC10s here are some more pics for ya.

Very Interesting

XXL you are correct - I did flip them back! after seeing them, I am with you on the S10 lights (anyway you filp them!) Nice truck the way it is.

Good looking truck man. did you race it at woodburn at any time? i use to live in beaverton and i saw a truck like yours there a few times.


Aaron

wow that looks BADASS with the upside-down ones!!! makes me want to get one of those trucks JUST to have those lights on it!!

yeah i raced it there a few times just to see what she could do.

Nothing's really jumping out at me, but here are some I threw together...

hmmm i dont know about any of those. but i really appreciate the effort that you did. If any other ideas pop into your head i would love to see them.

hmmm i dont know about any of those.

Agreed.

If you like them, I will tell you what they are from. Any guesses:)?

Are they out of a ford van?

:agree: i was gonna guess that to

Here's what it would look like flipped or not flipped. Either way they look crooked to me..:)

What about putting the tail lights into the roll pan. Something like what XXL did but one on either side of the license plate. I don't have a program to do it on otherwise I would. Just thought I would throw out the idea.

I guess I haven't thought about that, they may have had crossover parts, but this particular set came from an original Bronco. I like it, but you would have to french in some side markers, maybe some from a 68-72 chevy or similar vehicle. The early broncos had this style side markers.

Alright... my Alienskin glow filter isn't working right and my machine with gifcon on it isn't booting, so... just pretend I animated this thing and tell me what a wonderful job I did. I even had it pulsing from inside to outside (as in PP, then O+I, then T+N, then S+G lighting up) :whine:

wow guys those are some crazy ideas lol. keep em coming

i actually think the supra tails are aesthetically pleasing:cool:

i second that, supra lights look good on alot of vehicles

i second that, supra lights look good on alot of vehicles

Especially Supras ;)

I am actually surprised at how good they look. Have any of you ever tried corvette lights?

Funny you guys should mention that. I saw Supra lights today on a truck very similar to the one pictured at an Advance here in Nashville, and it just didn't look right. I think maybe it was because it wasn't lowered and only had 15" wheels.

With the square body I think this is the best looking out of all of them.

I think the flipped S10 lites look pretty nice, but only if they were straight. I agree they look a little crooked on the first picture that N2TRUX posted...

Problem is that the X, Y, and Z axes of the lens aren't at right angles to each other. If you level off that leading edge that runs down the bed side, you'll lose the vertical edge that runs top to bottom. That lens on this year-range truck requires at least one "crooked" edge. :(

since we're talking about it...

mount them vertically on the bedsides
and i think it may look better:bling:

Well pshopped, but the Supra lights don't work. They're too "Euro," and if Euro was ever even in style, it's definitely out now. This year model truck needs something linear, probably horizontal (which the Supra lights do), but without any round lines for the eyes to pick up on. The only way I see the Supra lights accomplishing this is if the entire lens was candy'd red. Even that may not quite do it because of the weight of the circles inside the unit.

I do like them better all red. Key word is better. They remind me a little too much of that one roll pan that was sooooo popular back in the 90's that mimiced what I guess was the corvette tails. No offense to anyone that still has that roll pan on their truck.

I tried that and it didn't even look good in photoshop. Oh well. The search for the perfect taillights continues...

That's it! That's what bothers me about them. :whine:

They are a little too ricey looking on an American truck for me. They look like they belong on a Ferrari. I'm a knuckledragger though, so pay no attention.

+1 on the 'vette pan

I like frenched Caddy lights myself, but I can't chop :whine:

:crazy:
