So I really don't like the taillights, well i do, but I really hate plastic. I replaced the taillights on my ride with the ones found here. I cut the factory plug on the taillight side and changed the connection to bullet type so I could swap to different lights with little effort.
I did have to "remove" read hammer the little nub that went into the fender. The grind off the welds. I used some metric T nuts to screw into.

Enjoy!
