Dechromed Tail Lights

I really like the look of your Maverick, it looks sharp

Thank you. I finished the stereo system and putting a hard tonneau cover on Sunday then I’m done haha.

It's truly not that dark and yes I have LED Bulbs but had then before the mod.

How have the LED lights worked for you? Have you have any flickering? I've read that Ford doesn't recommend them over halogen. What brand did you get and where did you purchase them, if you don't mind me asking?

Has anyone considered doing this to the third brake light so it matches the taillights?

Also, could you do this to the Lariat taillights since there is an LED strip inside? or would it ruin that LED?

Hello,
To be honest I'm truly not sure but I don't see why not.

Hello,got mine on eBay and they are ALLA Brand. Much cheaper than Lasfit and I haven't noticed any problem. Alot of people on here are having problems with the Lasfit and they are not cheap. Good Luck

would doing this to the third brake light darken the white/reflective parts? so it matches the taillights? I might do it just to see lol

I am not sure I will do the 3rd stop light. I have Lasfit LED’s everywhere. Since I blackened the stop and tail light assemblies, I have noticed a reduction in visible brightness, however they are still brighter than the OEM bulbs. The LED 3rd Stop Light is very bright, so I am arguing that it makes up for a little loss of brightness from the main stop lights.

That’s my story, and I am sticking to it!

I applied some film to the 3rd brake light, photos and details are in my build thread here. End result:

Since this film is made specifically for lights, it doesn't significantly diminish the light output.

Any pictures? Thanks

At first I was concerned that the tinting was too dark, however the previous addition of LED stop and tail lights has eliminated my concern. The brightness, albeit less, is better than the original incadescent bulbs. Overall, I am quite pleased.

This is what it looks like with upgraded LEDs

Looks good, what Brand of LEDs did you go with?

Looks really good, what brand of LEDs did you use?

Lasfits but the new ones hyperflash for a bit before returning to normal

I bought this cover for the third brake light.
