I've heard a few reports of them not being very good. They really don't seem to work that well.

DOT authorized, lol! I had a pair of clear tail lights before that had the DOT stamped on them, but they were not DOT approved. They just use the same molds used to make stock lenses.

you got the wrong ones!
Get the Lund covers!

They snap on, when the hood is open and can't be taken off with the hood closed.

But they are illegal, and I could be ticketed, but I could just say I forgot they were on and just take them off in 5 seconds, thus avoiding a ticket.



do NOT try to drive at night on country roads without street lights, even if you have your fogs on. You can't see much at all.

tinted overlays are better. the covers will slowly scratch your bumper bc they move.

Absolutely not. I got the 55w hid conversion and it's worse than the regular stock lights. Waste of money but if you want em I'll send em to you 20 plus shipping
