They don't mach the pickup at all but dang do they look good. And much briter then factory. The brand is united pasific. Got them from ebay for $100. They where sold as octain lighting but they are not. And that's ok united is a good quality brand. Also got the flasher with them. It installed super easy. Had to use the polarity reverse thing that came with the flasher. They blink just as fast as the factory ones did.

And the night shots. O and octain lighting is the vender selling them. They did not claim to make them that's my bad. They did not say who made them ether.

Get the back up led's too. Ten times brighter.

I plane on going all led. Besides the side markers. Can't find a good 194 bulb that lights up the housing as good as the originals.

I thout abut them but I'm not a huge fan of the deluxe sidemarkers. If they had the van sidemarkers like that I definitely would.
