Some of the led tail sets use an 1156 for the reverse light instead of the 3157 we normally use

************. Of corse I ordered some new 3157 led for the reverse lights to replacemlol

Those look nice. I'm gunna have to get me some. How was the fit on your new tails? I had to order new clips for the tail lights since the stock ones are falling apart and the passenger side tail light keeps popping out of the clips. Not that they fit worth a **** anyhow...

I heard it helps to put an additional coat of clear on the lights to keep the stock clearcoat from putting and peeling.

This two part spray clear works pretty good, at least better than typical spray clear.

I’ll have to look into that. Seeing my old ones on Rocco’s truck peeling that bad is a shame.

Pretty good. Seemed like you kinda could adjust it more than the stockers but it sucked up good to the bed lines. I’ll snap a better pic

Also had to put the smack down on a Dakota r/t on the way home from work just now. Looked like I was driving around a 4.7 powered truck lol

Well another E-brake failure caused me to pull my rear wheel off in this frosted over weather, but it did give me a chance to see how my new wheels are going to look on the truck...

It appears that the internals of my parkin brake are wearing out so i did some adjusting to get it to free up properly, the plan os to rebuild the e-brake on both sides this weekend

Wheels look great! Just need to paint the axle stub black to match when you rebuild the e-brakes.

thats the plan, this was just a test fit, when i put all the wheels on i plan to paint the hubs at the same time, im hoping that they will look good enough to leave the caps off the wheels
