    I'll probably just roll the dice for a while until I get stopped for three little lights easier to ask forgiveness than permission, right?

    Hmm, of what specifically? The 2005-2011 do have different grilles in the way that it's more difficult to take off the outer surround part. I think most people just drill holes in the plastic that can be reached without taking off the grill surround. I have a 2011 grille, which is different, and did a different procedure for it with no drilling of the truck. If some who has a 2005-2010 could take a pic of where they drilled, that'd be great

    Well here's an idea: Do both!!! Run which ever you like. If you get stopped for the blue ones, flip the switch to light up the amber ones and tell the cop he/she is seeing blue because of the Doppler color shift. Either that or they need glasses. :rolleyes:
