I've never been a fan of the clear light lenses on any vehicle. Just my opinion.

they look ok to me, but not something i would put on my truck, i always see these type of lights on other cars and it seems that with not much time they tend to get a lot of moister in there plus start to look dull.

I like them! Of course it will depend on what color combo etc. the truck has. But I could see them lookin sexy on a dark blue and possibly even your red color.

I like the fancy chrome trimmed stock ones better.

Those clear ones do look better than the plain vanilla stockers though.

I don't really like the way those look. Of course I'm used to the way my LE lights look, but they may be an imporvment over the base model trucks.

I need new lights because mine are cracked and discolored. I don't like the chrome ones because it seems like every truck that has them has a bead of rust starting around them. Are there any other aftermarket lenses out there for our trucks?

I don't think those really have that import (I'm trying too hard to be cool) look. LOL! I think they would give the truck a slightly "updated" look. But I do have to agree with 901stgen. Depends on color combo and condition of truck.

The truck is red, in pretty good shape (considering age), has white bedside stripes, 3rd gen wheels, stacks, visor, headache rack toolbox, lots of diamond plate aluminum, trying to make it look a little newer...

I never really liked the red-on-red tails.

i'm not too into the clear lights, mine is the base model and i replaced the taillights with the replacement base model w/out the chrome beauty ring around it since i didn't have any of the chrome trim to match the chrome lined taillights. i like the look of mine, they are plain yet nice and clear. but that's just my .02

when i bought my 92, the tail lights were all busted and barely hanging in there....so i started searching junk yards and could not find a good set....i ended up putting a set out of a dakota..they are exactly the same....just a good tid bit of knowledge to have!
