Clear Tails! - 4/16/2008 8:28:55 AM    JetNoise Posts: 100 Joined: 2/16/2006 Status: offline Just finally put the tails on my truck.  Got them for Christmas from my brother... They required "adjustment." The plates they put on for you to put your sockets in are not facing the right way.  The way they came, you can't fit the socket directly into the housing. My boyfriend and I did some creative slicing and dicing with the sockets and made them fit, but I was aggravated that we had to do anything to them to make them fit... Anyways they are on, and they work.  Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ 1996 Dakota SLT Extended Cab 318 5.2L V8 2WD No, it''s not a Hemi...

Not knockin them, but with all the trouble they seem to be to install they oughta look a heckuva lot better. But seriously, that is a nice lookin truck. _____________________________ If GOD be for me, then who can be against me? (in reply to murdoc chongo) Post #: 3

RE: Clear Tails! - 4/18/2008 10:46:41 AM    JetNoise Posts: 100 Joined: 2/16/2006 Status: offline I have loved to look at my truck since the day I saw her on the lot, and I still love to stare.... Overall, I liked the look of the OE, so I didn't want to get something insanely different, just something to go with my white truck. I'm going to get the paint cleaned up this summer by a friend.  That is my only real bad spot though, so I feel I'm pretty lucky.  All I have to do is the tailgate and corners... Then I can get to the other fun stuff on my list! _____________________________ 1996 Dakota SLT Extended Cab 318 5.2L V8 2WD No, it''s not a Hemi...

RE: Clear Tails! - 4/28/2008 10:06:26 PM    alterboy   Posts: 87 Joined: 11/6/2007 Status: offline They look pretty good. I bought a set also and I think with the clear corner and turn signals on the front they look good. They are the only ones you can match to the front of the truck with clear lenses. Yeah maybe they don't look much different than the originals but neither do the clear turn signals everybody puts on the front. They are clear and look different none the less. the gen 2's have some neat ones available to them. Here are a few pics of my "Rear End" lol!
