I will have to get pics of them tonight when it gets dark out.

I did not do any crazy business like don or jr did, I went with plain old replacement assemblies and I put the Sylvania silverstar ultras in and ill just have to see how they do.

They just stock replacements?
Looks way cleaner.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

It's amazing how new glasses make the truck look better. Nice job

My stock Chevy ones are clear like Nate's new ones.

Well not that clear any more. Lol.
