    I would appreciate it if anyone can post images of custom taillights they are using or thought were cool and saved an image of. I am trying to get some ideas and I need a shove creatively.

    For what kind of car? Are we talking about 50's cars here, or Model A's, or what? Help narrow it down and I might have some good ones for you.

    Well-deserved dope slap!

    60's & down, anything taillight that would cl***ify as unique in & of itself or on the car as opposed to dropping Poncho or '39 Ford lights on a roadster. I like both of those but there are plenty of images like that out there already.

    Anything home-brewed (cutting up a traffic flasher and making a taillight)
    Any lens grafts (Falcon lenses onto non-Ford or non-Falcon for that matter)
    Anything weird

    This may not be more specific, just more confusing.

    speaker (awaits next dope slap)

    You're making this as tough as pulling grizzly teeth.
    What kind of car are you wanting to put them ON????

    I am looking to see what creative taillight solutions people have engineered for themselves and it is not a vehicle specific request.

    This is an attempt to convey a message in a country/southern accent (because of the horseshoe ?). Translation is That right there is down right pretty. Quite clever actually...NOT
