Cell phone cameras have come along way, all of these are with Samsung Galaxy phones.

I believe my cell phone is 12 megapixel and takes 4K video. They aren't cheap pictures anymore.

Like I said before, the key to taking a good picture is taken about 20 pictures from different angles. You'll get one out of every 20

Yes, even though they look amber, they are actually red, I bought two pairs, one the the fenders snd one for the tailgate.

Anyone had to replace motor mounts yet? I was told mine are bad. I don't see the engine visibly shaking (more than usual when running), but I hear an impact type sound when I take off (slow or fast) which makes me agree with one shop that told me they were bad. I got a second opinion at another shop (had my truck in there for warranty on the power steering pump) and they said the engine mounts are fine. I mean the truck is 9 years old and has around 180K miles on it.

Open the hood. Put it in gear and brake torque it. See if the motor comes up a lot on one side and drops. At idle you can't tell.

I'll try that when I get home from work. I tried revving in park and didn't notice movement. But it's also hard to look by yourself. I've heard these are hydraulic mounts and will leak when bad. Any truth there?

I've heard that too and I'm not sure. If you can get a buddy to stand by the fender or something. With the hood open you should be able to see between the hood and the dash. When it's in gear it torques the motor
