Default thoughts on these new tail lights?

ive been looking around for new tail lights that dont involve adding rear armor and dont look stock and i came up on these. they're pretty inexpensive but you have to make a small cut in the body... im skeptical because its a 1 shot deal. i want to make sure they look good first lol

I like the look of that style of light but I think those are going to look goofy. The side with the reverse light has an off center brake light. The other side looks centered. The back of your jeep will look like it has a lazy eye. Would be better if both sides match.

you can see pics of them installed if you look up the installation instructions. i know qtec has the instructions on their site. the more i look at these the less i like them. the rubber grommets (or whatever you want to call them) hit each other on the model with the reverse light and the brake light grommet hangs over the edges on both of em. just looks sloppy to me.

I don't really like them, but it only matters if you do.

Yeah, they would look much better if they matched. I think stock looks better.

they do match. they have 3 different versions available and the original photo shows two of the styles. the third option is just the housing with no lights or holes in it so you can cut your own holes and add your own lights. the op mentioned that it was 2 different styles a few posts ago

i went and found these pics to clarify for those who don't wish to read

I don't like them. That's just me though.
If you have to make cuts, what happens if you want to change to something else or put the stock ones back on? Poison spyder has some nice looking tail lights that are round and flush. I would look into those ones. I've been thinking of switching over to those ones. I like the looks of them.
