    No leaks or problems whatsoever ever. The brake portion is leds just like the stock ones and you can swap out the turn signal if you like. Most guys change it to an LED bulb as well so it doesn't look orange when not lit.

    It wouldn't be the first time you sold a perfectly good set of tires :eek: although you probably only get permission to do that once. But I'm sure you could get the new ones for close to what you'd get for your used ones with the discount I just posted.

    Did you change your tail light yourself? Or do you know a shop that does it?

    TIA

    Changing a tail light takes all but 10 minutes AT MOST. You don't even need any prior knowledge or steps on how to remove one really, just put down your tailgate and get to unbolting. It's ultra basic. I doubt a shop would even want to take your money to do that.

    Yeah what he said ^^^ just make sure to keep your stock ones in good shape. If they're the LED stocks then you can still get some of your money back by selling them.

    Actually the left side is a little bit broken. Just before the middle bulb, it got cracked.
    Anyway, I'll try to do it. Thanks for posting the video and encouragement.

    Ok here's some pics from tonight's cab mount chop session. Thanks to Mike for all the expertise and Rick and Rylan for the extra hands.

    This is what we started out with. The black marking on the cab mount is from my tires.
