    I had no idea you could put a vinyl rap on lights. That is wild.

    Can anyone tell me if the plugs are different between the '14 and '15? Between the LED and non LED?

    See that looks pretty good, but my truck has the black flares on it, so im just wondering if that would make a big difference or not. I have been thinking about getting those and the blacker headlights, vut i dunno if i would like them or not. And thats a decent chunk of change to try it and not like it.

    Pink Reverse, figured it out lol. So were only the 05-08 lights the ones with pinkish reverse, or do the later ones (11-14) have it too?

    what is the general consensus on OEM vs after-market? I tend to try and replace parts with OEM as long as they are still available, but idk if cheaper aftermarket stuff is actually the same quality or not.

    You realize most OEM parts are made by someone else.
