    I went with the top ones, but was pulled over shortly after and informed that all tinted tail lights are illegal :notsure:

    I hate the stock lights but I just can't get over how much the top ones look like they were pulled of a Ridgeline. I wish there was an option that wasn't just a ripoff of other mfgs designs.

    How well do you like the lights in the bumper? Im thinking of getting some "marine" Rigid lights since i have a white bumper. Do you have them setup to run on your backup lights or switch only?

    They're hooked up to the "rear lights" switch:

    83BBC84E-0B67-40E2-89ED-BC72E4F0ED62.jpg

    I like them. Bumper and whole setup will be removed for a pelfreybilt rear bumper with swing out. Comes with some rigid SR2's that will be wired up to the same switch. I like that I can selectively activate them only when needed. Plus the switch is awesome :luvya:

    I just ordered these guys because i'm in the same boat as you. Not a fan of the Stock. They aren't too wild and I think will fit the style of the 2nd gen well. I'll post an update when I get them in, they are due Friday the 29th!

    I have had these also for probably years now and no issues. They're well built.

    I have a pair if you want them, the black version with the white diffuser inside strip. I've been sitting on them for years and used them for less than 3 months.

    ChadsPride made a good point in a thread a long time ago when I bought these. He said that if they fail after a while, they're cheap enough to buy another set. I got them and wasn't sure, but I'd buy a new set every 5 years if needed, they look and function great.
