    Can we get a comparison shot of the VTAILS vs the v6 extreme?

    Just installed the standard set in my new truck, couldn’t have been easier. Did it along with the full interior set and license plate lights. Really appreciate the quality and light output.

    Just installed this kit on my 2020.. everything was great, except the vt56 switchbacks only have two tabs on the socket, and don’t turn a quarter of the way and lock like the stock sockets did. They turn, get tight, and then if you keep turning expecting them to “lock in,” they don’t - they just get loose again. So, currently I have them installed, stopped turning when I felt they were tightest, but I’m worried the sockets aren’t sealing to the tail light and will create a moisture issue. Anyone else experience this?

    I am looking for the brightest reverse light I can get that is rated for continuous duty. I want to add a switch and be able to use it for lighting. The 1500lm V6 tritons specifically say no to such use what about the switchback Tritons?

    I’d suggest mounting lights either in or under your bumper if you really need light. I haven’t found anything that is really that impressive that fits the reverse bucket. Not sure if you mean the custom V6 921 switchback that VLEDS has for this swap but I didn’t find that one impressive at all.
