Think I'll try that tomorrow! Thanks. If only I hadn't already screwed up the two small openings a little :\

Nothing special, I wanted 245/45R17 for daily but no one ran it stock all around, and I didn't wanna risk rub since I don't plan on doing any suspension work for another month minimum and I DD alot.

Got the dome light swapped! Fortunately was able to just get the plastic casing off, though the two little slots are a little extra worn now :\.

So I got an SMD12 from Diode Dynamics and now I kinda wish I'd gotten two slightly smaller boards to make the lighting symmetric since I couldn't mount it in the center.

But I just checked it out in about 85% darkness and it lights up the cabin really well now:

I've personally never liked those Valenti's...
The only ones I'd swap my 2017 tails for are the new sequential Valenti's.

Definitely the 2017's unless you're really going for a specific look.

I did the exact same thing and I forget that I ever had stock lights. How they look at night, oh man. Everytime I have a truck behind me, I'm looking at their reflection in the chrome grille. Also I sold the stock ones which fully paid for these. And I love the sequential blinking that looks like an arrow
