After your other comments, I just may drill mine out too. Sure would make it easier and last better. I was a little apprehensive thinking that the adhesive generally doesn't last that long as it is. I wish mine had clearance lights. I love the way those look. Yeah, I know I can add them, but I have other things I want to spend the money on first. Like making it faster yet. lol
Looks awesome dude!

well i just went out and adjusted them...i had a little play because the holes in the light bar where large enough...it looks off from the bed itself but it looks straight with the bumper...o well i guss i cant get it perfect...i wish they would make the light bar out of stainless steel rather than plastic because that plastic is so flimsy that it warps and doesnt stay straight...i think that is the proble...o well and yeah i was dissapointed in the amount of light the reverse gave off

Thanks CounterMaker. I've been waiting to see those smoked turn signals on an SD before I bought them. And looking at yours, I think I'm going to have to get them.
I'd like to add a couple of things, just in case someone does a search.
1. The smoked cab lenses also look good on the dark green trucks (at least I like the way they look on mine).
2. When I installed the cab lenses (from RECON) I had to carefully remove the foam type gaskets from the OEM's to reuse them in the new lenses since they didn't come with them. So be careful when removing the old lenses, that gasket likes to stick half to the base and half to the lense.
And the new amber lights for the cab are bulbs not L.E.D.'s

CounterMaker,
You finally went out and purchased the mirror lenses. WOW...They look great. As I told you, it would be a little tricky with the install, but not too bad. It was well worth it..Good luck with everything, and your truck looks awesome...
