I have a set and light is good but I am not impressed with the way they line up in grill and the rest of the lights. One you get them adjusted properly the lenses stick out on one side and are sunk in on the other side. The adjusters are cheap and don't work very well and strip out easy. I bought mine off ebay I am not sure what brand they are. I am very tempted to try the head light corner light assemblies with the three little LED's in them. I don't care for the LED's but if they line up better I would be all for it.

I have been wondering about the adjustment on the one that Tim is talking about....being that the whole light is one piece with the signals.

Im with Tim; if I would do it again I would buy OEM, not made in China (e-bay), that would be my recomendation.

I have been looking at the ones on fleabag myself, but now that you say that I'm not so tempted to buy them. Is there anywhere else that they can be bought that ave not from china, even if they cost more it would be worth the extra Money.

I picked up a set of the Euro lights with the LED's in them. I like the way they look in the truck and when the LED's were hooked up it looked nice, I had them hooked up to a toggle switch in the dash so i could just turn them on when I was parked. One thing i didnt like about them is that it is a pain to install them seeing as it is only 2 pieces. If you buy them i will give you a huge hint. After you remove the headlight trim with the bumper/blinker light take a cut off wheel and cut all the plastic bracket part for the upper corner light as you wont be needing it. This will allow you to install the headlight and adjust it and then install the bumper and trim assembly. WILL SAVE YOU LOTS OF TIME!!!!!! If you have any questions let me know...I know i didnt explain it very well.

This is what it looks like when finished...




This is just the bumper lights on (with clear bulbs)

THe fit is alright if you take your time to get them to fit right. If I were you i would take the old light out and adjust the little black adjusters on the new lights to look about the same, then slide the new light in get a way to hold it there because putting those little clips on more then once sucks, and then place the trim on and see how it looks. Repeat process as necessary untill it looks good.
