These. Or anything in that basic style with black insides and a clear lense.

I will never buy a Spyder product again in my life. I bought front headlights, and it required me to cut sheet metal for them to fit, and when I did get them installed I couldn’t see $hit!!!! I even put nice H1 leds in the projectors but still didn’t work well. I returned them a week later and got the nice ones I have now!

Drove her today to work and she was acting up bad. Had a mechanic look at it and he thinks my timing chain might be lose and that I should change it all out. Thoughts?

Saturday I might set the crank at TDC and pop the valve covers to check the marks and check for slack in the chain....

No worries man, it still is a good looking truck, know what could look good, and i might be crazy but paint your wheels black and get orange lug nuts!
Thinking of getting rid of the wrap and going with a burnt orange “paint” fade into the brilliant black. Paint match the rims black with orange and leave some chrome. Redoing engine bay also, burnt orange,chrome and paint match. Started dressing up the so called intake manifold already. Bought a used one and taking off all the brackets and such away sanding smooth and will paint burnt orange.

They look the same but are about $70-$80 more! Depos are only about $120 to $130 bro!

Btw, these shermans are the same as depo, right?

Yeah the shermans look like a rebranded depo tail, the spec-d tails ive had but they are notorious for LED failures, the other ones I actually have a set of them here, i like them better than the recon/sonars because they join the brake/blinker all i to one areay and remove the separation that is in the recon ones...

Yep they clean up nice. I’ll have this one for sale in a few months when I do a head and intake swap

These are the ones I suggest that resemble the recon ones...

They are smoked and are the ones which blend the turn signals and brake lights into one

Yes they do, but dam the elbow grease you need to sand them and prep properly. This is what I got so far

Yeah, the lumen ones. So basically, unless I want to retrofit a the bulbs in a spec-d to make it reliable (which I don't and it'll cost alot) I'm looking at lumen or depo since spyder = recon and those aren't the greatest and don't fit well.

How's the output and disparity of running/brake brightness on those lumen tails?
