Thanks Jon, those look good and the price is great, I may look into them as I just did the XHP50 H11 low beam upgrade yesterday and am thinking of upgrading my fogs as well. I did notice that there was no driver/ballast on the set that you posted, did it not require one? Any lens issues after having them on your truck for the 6 months? Thanks for the link brother.

how hard is it to re/re the emblem? I would hate to scratch, or remove paint on my new truck.

No problem Tom! No ballasts and no lense issues. So far so good!

Sooooo been looking at the Putco door moulding (comes either chrome or tinted black...you ALL should know I went BLACK on this one) and honestly have been on the fence. Well I finally jumped off the fence. I was very very leary about this product as I cant stand cheap products that even remotely remind me of Pep Boys stick on crap. Nervous and not really expecting all that much, I went thru the steps of cleaning etc, and then I applied one piece then another and the last 2.. I can honestly say this is one of the better, much better cheap mods I have done so far. i think it looks great. I hated the rubber trim that looked very inexpensive and out of place on a 40K+ truck. From the time I opened the box and removed the product from the protective sleeve, I was pleasantly impressed. Like most its a personal preference so I will let you decide for yourself....I like it. In the pics below, I had only installed the passenger rear side. Pic was intentionally taken this way to show the contrast. New parts are a beautiful piano black type of look. Total price was $53.00 so a lil over over target price, but soooo worth the mention.

Does not look out of place at all. Matches the B-pillars almost exactly. Fit and finish make it very hard to tell its an add on part held on with 3m double sided tape. Looks very oem.

That's the number I found, but everything I found was chrome and I didn;t have an option for black. Where did you get yours from?

You're right, I just looked at it and didn't notice that it was different. Must be time to call it a day. Thanks!
