    What lights are these? I'm really interested in swapping out interior lights for LEDs.

    to an LED bulb, bulb was made of 12 little light section.

    I blatantly plagiarized this guy. The smooth tail lights look way better.

    So I have read that when going from 01-04 tailights to 96-00 that there is a wiring issue? Pretty much the 01-04 trucks need an extra ground wire? Did you find this issue with yours?

    If that is the case you can remove the pin and splice into the existing ground wire, the pinout is super easy to determine with a test light or a multi meter.

    It won't be, you could literally just jump it with a t-tap in 5 mins to test it.

    I didn't know that. I bought the lenses only, not complete assemblies. I thought they were interchangeable, but I had to modify my 01-04 tail light housings with a dremel to get the smooth lenses to fit. No biggie, though, it only took a few minutes per side.

    I only have the lenses but if you want them I'll sell them to you.

    I want to add one of these to my truck, could you elaborate on the installation? What model did you get, how did you wire it, etc.
