I put my regualr 3156 incandescent (stock) reverse lights in until my white LEDs come in. I likey a lot!

dont mean to ruin your good time, but i would have gotten the clear lense, black plastic LED lights, then opened them up and painted all the black in your OEM white color.
It would have made the tails look strikingly unique, not so ALTEZZA (cough RICER cough) like, and given you a bold hot look no-one could match especially with the white emblems. After all the truck IS at a paint shop. Pop those in the oven and take them the chrome peices to PTM!

just my 2 $.01

Hey Raptor, long time - no chat. Looks good! I was staring at the pics installed and I could see one maybe two coats of NS. I know it seems like it would go against your white/chrome look but you do have a black tgate handle amongst other dark things. The lamp shape almost looks like the tgate handle but rotated. I know it's your truck, I had chrome lamps on my "purple" Ranger. It did look ricey on mine. LOL! What ever you do, it looks awesome and yes I'm jealous they don't make lamps for my flareside (well Depo does and I don't care for them). I just might make my own. Oh, I hope you ran some silicone around them. I had the mildew prob on the Ranger. Once it gets in there, forget about getting it out. Your truck is lookin' good!

My daughter's boyfriend has tail lights very similar to those on his silver truck. The only color truck they look good on is white or silver. Far too ricey for me.

Well, again guys: I didn't buy them, so I'm not one to complain.

Thanks for the thoughts j2h1. Sooner or later those handles are getting swapped out to whites, so theres really no point in NS them. As long as they are LEDs, I'm loving them
