i just got a red 93. i was wanting to get some others opinions or pics. pics would actually help a bunch. should i get smoke headlight and taillight covers, or get clear front corner lenses(turn signal) and get euros or clears with a small red line down the middle. thanks

Personally i don't like the smoked covers on red trucks, and you might get hassled by cops over them.

I have the clear corners on my red 93, and I think they really look great. They have orange bulbs, and when they are lit they look exactly like the stock orange lenses.

I don't know about the euro/clear headlights, have you seen lights like that for our generation of trucks? I haven't, but then again i haven't looked. Describe what you mean in a little more detail. Here's a pic of me with the clear corners.

Ken here. Red L's seem to look better with clears, or red painted covers with cut outs in them. I have a 94'L that is black, and blackouts look great on it. Just my opinion. KEN

when i said euros i meant the taillights. the ones i was looking at were completely clear and they had some that were clear with a red square down the middle.

Well, to be completely legal, you can't have the totally clear white taillights. They have to have a red side reflector on them, and i think they also have to have the red lens inside also. Like the lexus is300 taillights and the 2001 lightning taillights.

I found a link for some that looked ok a while back, I'll look again. I still haven't seen clear tails on a red first gen truck though, they look good on white and black trucks.

I got smoked covers on the four corners & love them. The black compliments the mirrors, window trim, my Pace Edwards toneau cover & bed rail caps. I haven't gotten any greif from the pigs yet, even when I was rearended. With a good set of driving lights below the bumper I don't take off the head light covers either.
