Ya I hated the tails. I used these in red for mind to give them the stock look they are precut to our lights and fit perfect! I did the lightest smoke on fronts but didn't like the way they dimmed the lights. The red on the back was dark enough to make the blinker look red when blinking. I cut it in half right below reverse light so it shined thru.
