Well I got my black ones in today. Pretty close to OEM quality. Plug and play no problem. My only issue is the blinker kinda fluxuated from hyper-flash to normal flash for a little while but seems to have settled down to normal now. LEDs aren't quite as bright as i was hoping and as with all LEDs are very directional. But over all they look great. I'll get pics up as soon as I find my camera charger

i tried that when i got my LED tails and it didnt work. i ended up having to get the load balancers.

sounds like good shipping to me BigKev. last time i bought something from cali it took 2 weeks! but if you got yours in that soon and mine say they will be here tomorrow, im happy! ive already got in-line resistors on all 4, but he said that they came with them

as for the 4 DRLs, how are they running? the ad says they come on with the headlights. i was thinking about splicing a wire into an ignition terminal so they are on whenever the key is on.

all you have to do is get a new headlight switch and pop a in a relay for the DRL in underhood relay and fuse box. 99% of the trucks are prewired for it, you just need the relay and the headlight switch

but wouldnt that engage my HIDs? plus my idea sounds a lot easier/cheaper

how did you get the DRLs to come on with the headlights but without the turn signal LEDs?
and is your blinker normal?

that looks very nice. I like the LEDs that are white and light up when your headlights are on. although with the black outline around them...kinda brings them out.. i really like my clear corners that match my headlights and fogs.

btw: how are your headlights on and your corners are not? and then your corners and heads are on?
