Watch out with these I have had 2 sets over the last 3 years ...The interior red domes tend to melt over time from to much heat..I am only using stock bulbs in the back also..

Looks good, gonna be nice on your truck.
Hopefully they won't burn up on you, that sounds like it would suck.

I was not thrilled about it at all...I am going to tint my lenses and am hoping the red will show through and not be noticeable that the top dome is melted caved in on its self.. Hope you have better luck with them than I have had...

Make sure you get LED bulbs that will project out the sides of the bulb. The cheap ones tend to have the bulbs only pointing out, and won't illuminate the mirror behind.

Ditto to the last 2 comments.

My tails look like those, just with LED rings. I melted my first set, then put some LED bulbs in the second time. The LED's will give you the "hyper flash", but it can be fixed at no cost by modding your stock flasher.

I can give ya a link if you need it.

Yes I have heard of this happening to a couple poeple, the insides melt and the bulbs sit crooked and dont reflect right. The simple fix is an LED bulb swap. I really like the ones I got, and Ill never have to worry about a burned out light.
