    Alright so I recently rear ended another car so I bought an arb bumper with a winch that my neighbor just happened to have for sale. The bumper is flippin awesome and love the winch. The problem is the extra load from the marker lights was causing the DTRLs to turn off intermittently (my theory was the added load on the relay was kicking them out). So I went to autozone and picked up some 1156 led amber bulbs and figured I'd do a little write up about the results.

    Here's the truck before. The picture only shows one marker light but what the hell. U guys get the jist of it.

    Here's a picture of what the bulb looks like. Pretty sure there made in china but whatever. Well see how it holds up

    So since the new LEDs are amber, I figured using the arb factory amber lens would be kinda pointless. So I GENTLY pried off the inner amber lens and they came off with minimal work.

    So what I was left with was a completely clear marker light lens witch actually looks pretty clean. Definitely a different look than before. Here's a pic of the new lens look

    Here's a picture of the DTRLs on

    It's not super bright but with the clear lenses it looks kinda cool. Too be honest I have no idea if its gonna fix my DTRL problem but time will tell. If anything it was a good way to kill some Sunday time. Ohh and there is no hyperflash with the blinkers or hazards.

    I've been having the same issue......turning on the headlights briefly will reset the issue but they (DTRL's) eventually go out again.

    And I can't see your pics either.
