I donno if they would count as tail lights since they're not on the tail end plus their view is blocked.

what would block them.

Depending on what angle you are from the rear, the bed would block one of them.

Not to say it hasn't been done before. I've seen tail lights frenched into the fenders. Just wondering if you'd get a hard time over it from some vehicle code and bored officer.

I think It could look pretty cool, especially if you used the early style that are a solid red, or maybe even some '32 Ford style tear drop lights? As far as being blocked, I'm not sure why. I haven't paid too much attention to the back of a step-side in a while, maybe I'm forgetting something.
