ok ok, i decided to do the clears after all. they were only like $20 AND they came with the little amber side bulbs i needed as well

Looks good! Doesn't even really clash with the black headlights.

 

[05Single]

Nah I don't like it go back to the stock turns


Jk looks much better. Now your next move is led bulbs

black heads/chrome turns ftw. I love the look myself. I have a set of black turns to match but wasn't feeling it.

Looks good. I love that I can see the teal from the 50 reflecting. At first I thought, wait what???? Then it hit me.

You should run a thin bead of silicone around the backs of those lights. The aftermarket lenses tend to leak/get foggy.

Again AZ, wash your car twice a year lol. But you're right, better to be safe and not have a foggy lens on such a beautiful truck

haha, right? i cant make up my mind with these signal lights. now that i have extra sets, i think i am going to try to bake a set to open them up and customize them myself.

i didnt even notice that. ha, the 50 is an attention hog

yup, i have heard that they do. i might do that. then again they are only $20

and yes, we can go a LONG time without having the need to wash our cars in AZ. The California Car Duster is your best friend. I tend to wash mine maybe once a month or so.

need one last piece to complete this interior. now that the dash is lookin sexy this steering wheel is driving my ocd crazy.
it's just worn out on the grip in spots.

So, i got a new one. Hope to install it this weekend if i get time.

That's the problem with the tan steering wheels, They show wear so much more than the regular black ones. Definitely look way batter, though.
