Re: Cleaning Tails

I say scrub em good with a wash mitt, then powerball with plastic polish to make em shine again. If it's really bad, some sanding/clearing could be in order.

Thats what i thought when i bought my first set but once i put em on my truck i really grew to like em...alot lol i will post some pics as soon as i take some....i have led's and PIAA super white reverse...i plan on sealing the new tails all up when i get em...do a bead of silicon all around the edge and the vent holes and go around were the lights go in to build it up a lil bit so they fit tight and dont leak

Re: Cleaning Tails

I've had euro's on my truck for probably 3 years now, I happen to really like them on my Victory Red Stepside. They just seem to flow really well with my truck. I'll admit that with some colors they do look goofy. But, if you dont like them, dont buy them, end of story. Theres no need to piss and moan cuz someone else likes them.

And just my .02, Euro's and Halo's are in the same boat, man.
