Default LED Box Tail lights

Thats what I'm doing. Anyone got pics?
I'm boxing my tail lights.
I'm using two 4" round reds and two 2" Amber for turn signal.
I just want an idea of how to make this look.

Here's what's going on. I've built rocker guards and I plan on eliminating the OEM tail lights. "tired of breaking them"

What do you guys think of the two styles I'm undecided on? I'm leaning on the first pic with the back up and 2" turn signal but I'm not digging the chrome in the back up light. Kinda looks ricer to me...
Or I can just do the two 4" and make cuts outs in the rear bumper for small spot lights as back up.

I personally would go with the amber in the bottom and do the reverse lights either in or on the bumper or from the back of a roof rack.

This.
Is what I'm leaning at since I last replied.
And I'll throw a 2" red led on the side.

I think you might need to have side markers on the side. I know in Jersey we do. You should really check your local ordinace before you do this.

First oicture looks better IMHO... I think the second one looks a little plain. Bu its my opinion do what suits you and ultimately function>form.

I'm pretty sure you do. Connecticut has a law and rule for everything

But Yes I'm going to use a side marker.
