Over all I'm impressed with the quality of them. And for $130 to my door, thats not a bad deal!

Looks good I like it. What bulbs are in them? Also, which ones are these - eBay? These are DOT approved correct?

-Drew
 












They do look good. Where did you get them?
 












They're off of Ebay. The cheapest ones on there. They are DOT approved. I have Silverstars in all the projecting lights.

The amber will stay until I can get LED ones. I really don't like the silvestar amber ones. And they don't make one for the corner light.

Thanks for the compliments, I can't wait to drive with them!! :D
 






Todd I had leds in my crystal corners for about 3 months. I didn't really like the way they looked, can't describe it, it just didn't look right. But I hope you have better luck than I did. :)
 






Mountaineer swap! I only have 1 3157 on each side :p

But I guess that would defeat the purpose

Agreed. The Silverstars look purple when in place. I had a set in and hated the look. To each his own. I prefer the silver frosted bulbs in the corners. I score mine from this guy. He's also got LED bulbs galore if that's what you really want.
 






same as celly over here, bought my silver bulbs from that dude too.
Whats that old saying?
Been there, done that, sold the t-shirt on ebay. :)

I'm curious of how bright they were and what exactly they do when you use the turn signal?

I may just end up keeping my amber bulbs and throw a little silver over them.
 






Well, I went through 2 sets, just trying different things, both were not as bright as stock, which suprised me because I've read other reports that some people say the leds are twice as bright. Well, I'm here to tell ya, mine weren't that bright, and the color wasn't close enough to amber to suit me. Maybe I'm just picky, I dunno.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking how they blink when they are already turned on? right?
One set I had just blinked on and off, like a single filiament, the other ones blinked dim to bright, like a dual filament.
When not turned on, they looked ok, but not as clean looking as the silver coated bulbs.
 






Bring on the silver coated bulbs!! :)

Thanks for the input. Saved me from spending $50 in LEDs to find out they were trash.
 






Your truck is truly a beauty and those new lights look incredible. I am gonna have to pick those up eventually... its on the list some wheres.
 






Thanks again for the comments, here's another ;)
