Well I finally settled on some taillights. Got some 06-11 taillights, drilled out a hole for the turn signal and I am good to go
Started with this (this first pic not my truck)
Then bought off eBay what I thought were these
But really were these
Way too dark. Returned them and found out the ones I wanted are either on backorder or discontinued.
So then I decided to paint my existing lights
Then found these used on craigslist and decided to try and take them apart and paint them
Those are still in pieces when I found the 06-11 taillights on craigslist
GOtta say I'm pretty happy with them. All I had to do was drill a hole in the bottom chamber to put the turn signals and modify the hole for the reverse lights to get the tabs to fit
