    Lights look amazing! Any plans for incorporating the blue into the headlights?
    Side question, what's covering your front plate? Is it a reflection making it seem dark? My plate is bright white I've been looking for something to tone it down.

    The brand of tires make a big difference so try them on and go from there, if they are gnarly at or mt's they'll grab stuff but a smooth sidewall may not. Let alone a 285/75 is a different actual size in brand and again tread type. I may get a poop storm for this comment but its been proven to me multiple times over.

    Looks like a tinted plate cover. You can get them at any parts store.

    Thanks for the praise guys. I'm sure there is a write up somewhere around. I'm not the first to do this project. I did a quick search and didn't find any real info, so I just went and did it. I'll try and do a little mini write up later, I didn't take very many pics while I was doing the lights, but I'll pass on what I learned.

    Here's a couple of pics of the lights in the truck. It's kinda hard to tell but the truck is blue. lol.

    Install really isn't bad at all. I expected it to be much harder.
    Have had mine a year and still love them. :D

    I'm not exactly sure. There is no writing on them anywhere. He said they were OEM though. Came off a 2013 Texas Edition 4x4
