    That's good. I've been customizing my interior and some parts keep having the paint flake off so I have to pull them out again and re-do it, after awhile I'm just like, whatever. Tried doing the window switch bezel and center console shifter piece in carbon fiber 3m wrap. Tried it 3 times and still came out looking like crap so I said screw it. I'm just have them hydrodipped. A few members on here offer it for a good price so why not, lol

    And I got the amber LED parking/corner (168 bulb size) lights and they look to be real bright and a nice orange. I'll have to see what they look like at night yet

    Dents or scratches on truck? Yeah, the paint isn't in great condition, previous owner sucked at keeping it clean and there are some minor scratches around and worse ones on tailgate. I don't care about tailgate much though

    Good, I silicon-ed all the way around the edge of them just for extra seal, no leaks or problems so far. I like them, I wanted the reflector parts to still be chrome because I like the little parking/dtrl lights

    I see.....you think the extra siliconing was worth it? I also wanted a little chrome to be there. They look nice. The TRD ones are just to rich for my blood

    The silicone cost like $2 and maybe 5 minutes of my time, let them dry a little and the installed. Worth it to protect a $120 investment and save the stress of having it leak

    If you order from that link and its fulfilled/sold by Amazon, it should be the pair. I got delivered only one side the first time and was like oh shat, but I contacted amazon and it was a shipping error, got the pair after a lil while

    If you ever want to have easy returns with an amazon order, order something sold/fulfilled by amazon
