Looks good, not as bright as your originals but it is also daylight out, that's a huge difference vs night

haha yup you're correct, but most people from southern ontario/eastern ontario, quebec and pretty much anywhere else in canada except the northwestern Ontario region have no clue where it is lol. After all, he is probably about a 24hr drive away give or take...

I thought so, but then I got to thinking you might be up in ice road territory.
Man, it's been years since I've been in "Tunder Bay".

how are yours holding up? I washed my truck and with the cold weather 3 of the 5 leds in 1 of the pods stopped working!! So annoying but I can't complain for $3 lol. I'll order these same ones you posted and try again.
No point in replacing just the one because I imagine it's only a matter of time before the others go out. If it's not to much to ask for, can you take a night time picture. I'd like to see how
They match the Amber running light

sorry missed this pic, they do look a little off. Any chance you can take another night pic?

They are holing up great. No problems what so ever. I will try to take a pic tonight and post it for ya. The pic doesn't really do them justice. They are much closer in color in real life. The pic alters the color a little.
