    Installed these this morning and I am beyond satisfied. The build quality and craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. Big thanks to @mesojdm for great customer service and super fast shipping. I was afraid that I was going to have issues with FM interference since I went through 3 sets of Winjet Tails to which they blamed my truck’s wiring. These do not cause any interference whatsoever. If you’re considering the Winjets, spend a little more money and get better quality. These could easily pass for OEM.

    Subtle changes.. and for the untrained eye, I want them to think they were factory.

    Even for the “trained eye” they appear to be factory. Passed state inspection no problem.
    However, I personally realized with the switchbacks I would deactivate the backup lights if I was in reverse with my 4-ways or turn signal on. Right?
    Time to get some flush mount rigids in the rear bumper for aux backup...

    This is correct. The switchback bulb can only do 1 function at a time (Amber or white) with flashers beings priority.
    This is a small quirk using that bulb, but I personally have never needed to use the turnsignals while in reverse. But if you really wanted, get a set of backup AUX lights;)

    If the back up light poses an issue I’ll gladly take those tails off your hands!

    Ugh, there so nice! I’m feeling jelly. I wish I had a set already. The only downside is you can’t look at them while you drive.

    What was the pricing on these tails? Was it a one time thing or would you keep making them?
