They're amber, not clear, but it was simple installation. In the pic with them lit up they didn't have LED's in them. They do now though. Looks 10x better.

Did you take any pics while doin it?? And can you give me All the measurements?? How far from the windshield?? How fr about?? Did you follow the curve of the windshield or do a straight line... I can't decide if I want to do OBS spacing or Super Duty spacing...

Naw I didn't take any pics as it was near 2 years ago and I wouldn't have thought to. Distance from the windshield + spacing all depends on what You like for the look. And yes Follow a curve of some sort of the windshield, with the lights kinda offset. When it gets daylight tomorrow I will see if I can get a Bird's Eye View for you so you can see.

I wouldn't wire in to your headlight switch from experience the cab lights draw too much from your switch which causes it to melt I ran a seperate switch for mine

I wired mine to the corner marker lights. That way when I pulled the **** one click, all marker lights come on and stay on when headlights are one. I might undo this tho. I want to wire one side to the left blinker and the other to right. So when I hit the blinker they will flash...(i have 6 lights up top to fit my visor better.)

I thought they looked funky when I first got my truck. Now they're one on my favorite parts of it. My truck is Gun metal gray, but with the cab light's on at night & other low visibility situations, there's no missing seeing me coming.
