I do like the look of the aftermarket parking lights, those make the lights.

The headlights that are on your truck have matching parking lights, there junk but they look good. Just get a header panel and put em in!

$60, free shipping header panel:

You do know with the SD tail lights you will need to trim the metal support brace behind the reverse lamp.

Does the whole bar have to come off? Reciprocating saw?

I trimmed and section of 2" from the middle Just enough to clear the lamp pigtail. I didnot remove the hole thing. I used a small body saw.

Anyone have a link to a Header Panel replacement guide? Fog lights are almost in, I've been working on them for about 4 hours now....
