    Those don't look good like that at all. They don't follow the tail panel contour like they're supposed to.
    Why would you mount them like that??

    It looks as though all you would have to do is switch them from side to side to make them the same as the way others have theirs mounted, still looks better than stock Maverick taillights to me

    Maverick tail lights look better than upside-down Bobcat tail lights.

    I don't think you could mount them upside down by accident - you would have to re-work the tail panel - had to be on purpose and to each his own

    i checked my car, they're on correct
    I think when we first did the install, we had them on reversed left on right, right on left for about a minute!
    I got facebook upload/timestamps to prove it HAHA
    didnt know I took any pics of it on wrong...

    yeah, theirs no way to mount them upside down...bulbs wouldnt match up with factory holes...
    can only put them on correctly or on wrong sides

    like I said, best way to black them out, less work, better lasting would def be plastic dip
    versus, lots of scuffing, primer, paint..
    just de-grease, apply plastic dip, plus plastic dip will fill in any pits too!

    Now some one needs to come up with a way to improve the bland dash and instrument cluster! I added three mechanical gauges in the center of the dash that helps but the dash still looks plane!

    instrument cluster is easy..get autometer gauges :)
    3-3/8 ..both electric
    one on left is dual gauges speedo/tach
    other one is the quad guage ..volts fuel, oil pressure, water temp
    can also buy an ad-on to convert the electric speedo to GPS

    Putting gauges in the dash is easy but to make them look decent isn't easy!
