    Dalton. I just bought a set for my '09. The install video is great and a lady at customer support forwarded me a video for the LEDs and Halos. Simple looking..Ill do an update soon.

    Cool. I guess then the question that we have is: Do they last.

    Seem to be so far. Light output is less than great, but I'm probably going to retrofit my factory lights anyway.

    I have these lights too. Light output is less than desired but they look so darn good on the truck. Replacing the fog lights with piaa high end driving lights or pencil spots has made up the difference

    I've got some nasty "IN THE BUMPER" flood lights relayed into my high beam circuit if I need more light. I'm sorry to now hear that the Halo headlights aren't very bright. Mine arrive tomorrow. I'm thinking about hooking up the LEDs and the Halos into the side marker lights. I don't want them on all day long like they would be with the running lights. This way, I could turn on the parking lamps and have the Halos without the headlights, also. Four modes: Just running lamps. Running lamps with Halos and LEDs. Projector headlamps with Halos and LEDs. and Full lights with high beam and bumper floods, also. (Can you tell I'm bored?)

    There is an issue with my running light/blinkers. I did the flasher modification and the blinking rate is good. (WITH LEDs) However, the left blinker will only work when the headlights are on and the running lights are off. The right blinker works great, always. Everything is wired the same. These running lights are a pain. First melted lights and now this!
