Took off the old, worn out DeeZee bumpers from the PO and who knows when. Put on these new diamond pattern DeeZee's, to match the toolbox and tailgate. Apologies for the weird angle, we live in the city and driveway's wedged in between two houses.

Our trucks will sometimes do weird things when LEDs are installed. You might need to look into adding a load resistor, or you may need to flip the bulb 180 degrees in the socket since most LEDs have a certain polarity and will only work one way. That's how my dash lights were that I just installed. Hope that helps!

i am aware of the polarity and i have done the dash lights. when they are in wrong it doesnt work at all. i think the problem is i need a solid state flasher.

Great! Let us all know how the headlights work out! What kind are you going with? And post some pics too if you get a chance. I started a thread asking if anyone had tried the LED headlights and got no responses yet...Looks like you will be the first!
