    Well I posted it up because Z E R 0 wanted to see how I was going to set it up. So I didn't want to disappoint. :)

    What color did you get for yours? I've got a white 2010 so i was thinking Amber maybe? Also, do you think a retromod would be possible to pull of on my '10, different grill styles i think mine might be a little bulkier.

    OK big thanks to MTopp, he had some extra amber leds so I just paid shipping and got em fast:D. I just didn't feel comfortable driving around town at night with bright blue lights in the grill. I think the amber look better anyway, more factory less ricey IMO.

    It should be advised, as well as advertised that when making your color selection on that website that you need to pick yellow. Their "yellow" is actually the amber color. I confirmed this after I gave them a phone call.

    Both websites have an "amber" option, superbrightleds just click the orange color and oznium just choose amber :notsure:

    It might had been the combination I chose or they must have updated after I informed them about the little hiccup. On superbrightled's I had to choose the black housing/yellow light combo to get it in the amber color.

    Ohh, yeah, probably mislabeled it. A lot of LEDs you see on eBay and such label amber as yellow also

    Ordered 3 of these, plus 2 of the flush mount. Figured I would put 3 in-line across the grill, then the 2 flush mounts as perimeter lights in my fiberglass fenders.

    I was going to do this too. But then I used the parking lights as my last two to complete the 5 amber lights..

    I got 2 more of the Optronics clear-look amber LEDs to install in my fender flares to go with my 3 in the grille. The whole look is about to change though, as my spot in line for HomerTaco's Raptor grille is finally here! Soon I'll have full Raptor lights AND the Raptor grille!

    Pics naturally, when available..... :cool:
