I'd have to see photos's shot on the truck both day/night. Looking at the web site photo's they look a little "Ricer" to me but that's just my personal opinion (I'm pretty conservative when it comes to making any changes to the look of my truck). If YOU like em that's what counts!

One thing for anyone else to consider, before switching out to LED tail lights...Is that if you have a BrakeSmart controller one of the settings according to the manual, if I remember correctly, will cause LED tailights/brakelights to flash intermittantly (it may be the low break-away battery voltage check function).

I've seen LED's on Big Rigs and they are definetly brighter. Additionally, they should last a lot longer and not fail all at once since there are multiple LED's, not just one bulb per function. Probably a really good safety feature for those that have to deal with foggy or poor driving conditions.

i think the lights would look better if they had a black "surround" instead of chrome.

i like the style of the 00-05 Suburban, Yukon, Tahoe lights better. if they came out with some like that i might buy them.

It depends on which model of the Boss Hoss you're talking about... the 350, he's got it beat. The 502 though, the bike has it.

Actually mine has a Scott Shafiroff 540 racing engine makes 689 hp @ 5900 and the TQ is 600 ftlbs starting at 2400 rpm peaking 698 at 4400 and falling to 589 at 6000. The heads and cam were ground for a very long and flat TQ curve. All on pump gas no spray.

All the time---5 to 8 mpg depending on how huch I get into the 950 Mighty Demon -- gets a little on the ugly side but hey you only live once! The modifications would fill this page but a couple of the big ones are the modified drive train eg 3 in drive belt, HD TQ converter also use a 265 35 18 dot legal competition tire on the rear. Love the sound of the CTD sans the pet and stock muffler but the 540 with 3in custom headers going into a 3.5 30 in pipes is really awesome!!!!Never gotten more than 1200 miles from a rear tire!

I really like a lot of the cooool rear replacement lenses. BUT- where I live (Up north) I see a lot of these rear lights full of snow. They are covered in with snow so much easier, that I've always resisted buying them. They're great for California! (But- the way it's been snowing in Texas lately???) What's next??
