Jake, can you PM the seller you bought it from??

And I can PTM your handle if you'd like, after I see how mine comes out.

or you can be lazy like me and just mask off and spray:
when i painted it black this summer i didnt find what would seem to be the panel on the tailgate so i just masked it off and sprayed it black. problem becomes my bedliner was sprayed over it and all the bolts so that one may not happen for a while.

i already did the surround and it help up really well this weekend on the was to and from dallas. i may get it re done later but i was saying it took alot of paint since it seemed like thin coats.

So your not keeping the one you have on there now? Is it just brake light, or does it have reverse?

the one i got is the line of fire. its got parking lights, brake lights and turn signals. the only difference between the line of fire and the white lightning is that the white lightning has reverse also. and i didnt really want it at first but since my sister wants one i may get that one and give her mine. but i havent decided yet really, i dont really need reverse too.

I'm just thinking in terms of how bright those LEDs will be since we both have tint, and you have tinted tails.....
