I have some. I bought some from JCwhitney first...they faded within a year. They were $30. Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are as how hard to install....it was a tedious task. lots of taping and measuring to do it right. I recently put smoked lights on, $70, doesnt include wiring kit. Theirs some pics of mine with the faded under the 1st gen pics thread, first post. Ill get some of the smoked lights tomorrow.

Good advice above. I'd tend to stick with Dodge parts, or the highest quality aftermarket parts I could find. A plug-in wiring kit makes the finished product look nicer too. I believe that sticking with accessories that look just like the OEM part will "blend in" to the vehicle instead of looking like something that got pulled off another vehicle and stuck onto yours. Also, you can make it look just like a factory option if you have the time and patience.

Are you talking about the clearance lights on the fenders or the marker lights on the cab? This is what I replaced my old ones with.






These lights can be seen from all sides including the top.




This is the sticky for the install.
