Ya i'm just scared of leaks and screwing it up in general. I also cant decide between stock or a 07-11 led set....

I went with generic tear drops because thats what I had in high school on my '92 RCSB, I like the look of them.

Ya I like both, just can't make up my mind which I like better. I also think the tow mirrors help pull them off right and I havent decided how much I like them yet either...

Just measure, measure, and measure. I did like most others did and taped off the front of my roof with white masking tape and went to town with a tape measure and a pen.

Man that turned out good I can't wait another couples weeks those mirrors make all the difference with the cab lights. Headliner looks awesome to. I have the mossy oak break up infinity waiting to go in mine and the door panels. That's got to wait til I finish my new speaker box. Looks good though defiantly coming along good. LOL I started with pencil then my notes got confusing and then I went to pen.

Thanks man! I definitely would have done camo if I had the tan interior. And you are right, the tow mirrors by themselves look good, and cab lights by themselves look good, but together they really add a heavy duty look that I love.

Looks even better all lit up! I would put the new lights on a relay and use the parking lights to turn on the relay. I know someday I would forget to turn the switch off though...

Thanks! I have them tied to my mirror LED's on a switch on the dash, also relocated the switch for my radio right next to it.
