Here they are finally. Just like the red ones we have except clear lense. Through July 4th, these will be $49 a pair. After that, they are $59 a set. They have been loaded into our online store and are located in the homepage specials.

Shipping is around $10 which will cover it, paypal address is sales@musclerodz.com. If you want exact shipping cost, place the order online and the cart will calculate it for you.

Would you happen to have a pic of them lit up with both the reverse and brake lights on?

Just curious to know what these look like 'in action'.

Thanks-

Tom

not yet, they just showed up yesterday afternoon. I am sure someone will have some pics up in a few days. If someone local buys a set then I could post some up sooner. My truck is all blown apart.

The Fed Ex man just left with them.

First off I know

I took a couple but a rain storm hit and it was a scramble to get my truck into the shop and I left the camera out there with dead batteries. Anyway to the "review"

These things are amazing. There are 20 BRIGHT leds, all on with the lights and double (or more) in brightness when the brakes are on. As you can see in Mikes pictures they are only on the lower half but that is plenty.

Probably the most dramatic difference is in the on/off rate. As you know the led is instant on and off. I left a regular bulb on one side and the new lens on the other and turned on the hazard and boy it is bright and really gets your attention. The regular bulb almost looks like it just dims but never quite goes out...
Mike has these in red and clear lenses I would really recommend them they are a nice quality piece. I will try to post pictures and maybe a video if somebody can help with that over the weekend...
Thanks for a great product

Custom 68 · 06-29-2007, 10:49 AM

oh yea shipping was very fast!

falvarez12001 · 06-29-2007, 10:53 AM

Ordered mine yesterday, of your web site store, when can I expect them?

Musclerodz · 06-29-2007, 12:13 PM

I went through 10 sets in 2 days and had to order more which should be here Monday or Tuesday. Then 1-3 days depending on where you live. I would have ordered more, but very few responded to my preorder thread. All orders placed through July 4th will be at $49.99. After that they are up to $59 and may have to go up a few dollars more depending on the actual price increase by the manufacturer.

Dumb question do the clear lenses light up red or white?

Not sure about the shipping bug. If you keep having problems, call me and order a set.

byrd · 07-02-2007, 09:08 PM

Got mine friday, what a difference!!!! They look great!

Tcal · 07-02-2007, 10:10 PM

nvm i went on thru the ordering process and it finally straightened itself out...its just the first page that asks how u want it shipped. it doesnt add the shipping to the total from that page, you have another page on down the road that re-calculates it

JHART · 07-02-2007, 10:15 PM

I have over 100 sets in the last 6 months with zero complaints. No idea when park light assemblies will be made. I have been working on 3rd brake cargo light for 4 months now alone trying to get made.
