    ...and they're in! Worth the $. Pictures don't do them justice. They are darker than the pix reveal. The red is not that cherry looking.

    One strange thing... I threw on the parking lights and not only are they loud, but they vibrate too. Please tell me that's normal! :confused:

    I noticed the same thing with mine, I think it’s normal for LED to make that noise, but did seem very loud

    Yep, normal. Loud and weird, but normal. What you do think of the reverse lights? I think they are pretty bad.

    Waiting for full dark to try them out. I think any reverse light is only good for letting others know your direction. Otherwise, I have aux lights in the bumper for real light.

    When I had my stocks I did the 886 fog light bulb upgrade and they were actually pretty nice but now Im thinking I might have to go a route like that.

    I’m no expert, but if they are both 6 lug I would think you should be good. 5 lugs have a spring under axle and 6 lugs are spring over.

    Yup, just checked em, backup lights are garbage for actually throwing light. Definitely just an indicator that your moving in reverse. Aux light required.

    Interesting. Wouldn't think those would get hot enough to require a fan while moving.
