Old and busted, New hotness:
Old pattern on the left, new on the right:
And here is both with the new:
The new lights have a lot less spill above the cutoff, and it looks nice and sharp compared to the old lights.
New lights on the snowy drive:
It has a nice cutout on the left that avoids shining light into the face of oncoming cars.
The driver side light went in like butter, but the passenger side fought me for a few minutes.
I think the plastic they used where the pins go in is made from a more flexible kind of plastic, and that wasn't allowing the bottom hole to line up properly.
I didn't break anything getting it in, but it took a little convincing.
Well worth it in the end.

The reverse lights are in!
Do you have spots in your vision yet?
Side view before:
Note: you can still plainly see the light from the LED tails on the ground:
New reverse lights:
You can barely see the red from the LED tails now:

These LED tails even light up next to the truck better than stock:
Compare this shot of the LED reverse lights to the shot from two posts ago called "New lights on the snowy drive":
Who needs fog lights on the rear with these things?!
I definitely recommend this upgrade.
These are the ones I got.

Nice work man. Those upgrades to the lighting are a win!

New thing to fix:
My brakes have sprung a leak, so I'm taking it into the shop tomorrow.
I'm guessing that it is the brake lines that are bad.
Guess I'll find out how much this costs tomorrow.

Turns out to be one of the front lines. The lines going to the back had already been replaced.
Only cost more than I want to say, but I'm glad I didn't have to do the work myself.
