on a 1970 cutlass

if you only install the outer lens and not the inner lens what will happen?

The inner is a reflector, so I would say the light will not be as bright.

bro im going to have to see your cutlass in person and in action

The inner lens is a light diffuser that spreads the light from the single filament so it appears to fill the entire lens. If you leave it out, you'll see a single small bright light in the center of the lens and the rest of the lens won't be as bright.

what would you recommend joe? get the inners, or its not a show car leave them off?

I'll be at Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) on labor day. Stop on by.

Why would you want to leave them off? The lenses were designed in to allow the tail lights to meet DOT visibility requirements. Leaving the inners off the car makes the taillights dimmer and increases your chances of being rearended.
