Default Roof Clearance light questions/opinions

hey all, im going to do smoked clearance lights on my roof, and i was wondering if anyone new the dimensions of the recons for dodges. i found a similar off brand set on ebay for 35 bucks but they seem like they would be huge. im also not sure if i want to use those, or the triangle style ones like the super dutys have.(links for both below) im leaning towards the recon style since they arent pointed at the top and match the truck better, but like i said i feel like the ebay ones will look huge on my truck. ive seen pics of recons on 150's and think they look good, but i cant find dimensions, and dont wanna spend 100 bucks on clearance lights. also before anyone starts telling me about the laws requiring them, i know. i often tow a trailer over 80" wide so save me the story. also if anyone has these and has pictures, they would be appreciated. thanks. also, for anyone who saw my previous threads about the fogs behind the grill, im waiting for my brother in law to get an led light bar, so i can just get his whole setup.

I prefer the look of the GM ones on are trucks to be honest. They look a little better. Also you dont have to drill as many holes.. But clearance lights are for big lifted trucks. Looks out of place on stock or relatively stock trucks

Super duty all the way. I hate seeing off brand lights on anything, sticks out to me and doesn't look right.

Im not sure if I like the pointed look of the super duty ones, the others seem to blend more with the roundness of our trucks. Im just worried there gonna be huge looking on it. Anyone wanna share any pics...

They don't look near as pointy on the truck as they do in the pic. They have a nice round shape and they're actually quite a bit smaller than the dodge style ones there.
