These look... like they would be found on a car that plays "La Cucaracha" when you honk the horn. If you live in SoCal you know what I'm talking about.

I don't see why they look terrible. What's so bad about them? I mean yeah, they're different...

The only thing that is off is that you have round accents on a square car, and chrome on a non-chrome trimmed car.

They are nice lights.. but they just don't match is all.

And yeah really? Bashing someones ride or opinion is uncalled for. Trav, you posted your picture to a public site, you opened it up to public opinion.. you knew what you were getting in to. Dakotakid, not cool bro.. remember what our mothers taught us? "if you don't have anything nice to say..." That was not a 'children' only application, It just makes you look like a d****e when you dont give any sort of corrective criticism.

Yup, I know. I wanted honest opinions, I'm not mad at all about that. I purposely posted them publicly to get honest constructive criticism. (so if you thought differently, then maybe some different words should've been chosen, but I wasn't bashing anyone's opinion, in fact I encourage it, negative or positive.).

The only thing I took offense to was the pink panties comment, and it didn't add anything to the conversation.

I do have some chrome trim, along with some chrome window shade, hangy downy thingies...(you know like the trucks have to vent the air but not have it blow so hard it's hard to breathe)...I'll take pics of those later....apparently they were made for the rabbit.

Maybe my inner-mexican is coming out (and I'm not even mexican haha)..."he just had to have that last taco...."

Part of all this is an experiment, see what I can do....I do know where I can get some square lights that I could replace the rounds with, but that'd take me crackin' the clear lens off....maybe a project for another day.
