Opinions guys? Photoshopped roughly but which one do y'all like best? Amber lights would be turn signals. White would leave them as parking lights.

I don't really see a difference other than the darkness and DRL LED color. Depending on the color of your truck, a dark or light shade will probably be the decision its based on. I like how it looks though. I would go with #3 or #4 and wire the DRL's into the turn signals.

Oh the DRL's? Yea It wouldn't be hard, but you would have to have a lot of patience.

they are parking lights tho. My truck don't have day time running lights. Daytime running lights are when your headlights come on when you put your vehicle in drive. And only your headlight are on. At least that's what I refer to as day time running lights.

That's what I don't like so much about these lights. I have the same exact set, I don't really like how it's just 4 led's for the parking lights and everything else lights up when the blinkers or hazards are on.. I'd prefer if everything were amber and a portion of the light blinks when the lights or hazards are on.. Just my opinion though

BTW they're cheaper on ebay.. I got mine for 96 if I remember correctly, not too much savings but enough lol
