yea little confusing thought the same thing too the first time I looked at them, but you just have to read the descriptions. they do show pics of them they come in three illuminations white,amber and red in chrome or black chrome. I ordered the chrome with white illumination

OK they are on and working PHEW install went rather easy but did have a couple little burps. First one pi$$ed me off took off driver side badge pretty simple. fishing line cut threw adhesive no prob, peeled off adhesive and the paint was all bubbled up under it and peeled off down to the primer (didn't use a heat gun or any chemicals at this point) just a bad paint job I guess. Behind badge 2 pin alignment holes and one 1/2-3/4 inch hole between them perfect to get wire
through.drivers side done went to passenger side badge came off perfect no paint peel beautiful BUT then my nightmare the big hole didn't line up right (not centered with badge),this wouldn't let wire into fender which in turn wouldn't let badge sit up against fender,so this is were my nightmare started had to drill 1/2" hole through fender went well but cringed the whole time,but it's done and it wasn't that painful. Here are some pics happy with them but not lit there is a pink hue to the lenses not to keen on that though,but lit up they look awesome here are some pics.

Wired them into the parking lights. Just tie wrapped underneath the lip of the fender (inside hood compartment) only 2 little wires it does have some type of resistor in line had 2 way tape on it and just stuck it out of the way. It took probably around an hour my brother in law and I were BS'ing alot if we just worked it would have been done pretty quick

Looks great. Could you take a pic of the side of the truck at night with them lit up, I want to get an idea of how bright/ noticeable they are from the side, like from tail light to grill type. That would be great. I think these are going on the wish list. Haha
