Yea, they are nice led's, Ive never really cared for them, but those are nice.
To go along with LuxuryDodge's question, how bout the clear corner lights, Ive looked into them, are they truely just plug and play?
I have noticed they dont come with bulbs (atleast on ebay) do you have to replace them with yellow? (<prob. dumb ?)

Wow that one place must be making a killing on those LED tails for $300+. Or they aren't selling any, haha.
I paid $130ish for mine from eBay for the exact same lights. Not a single issue with them, and they've been in the truck for 3 years now. The only modification needed to make them fit is to dremel off a plastic stud on the back of each light. Not sure why it's even there, the general consensus is that these lights were probably originally designed for the Caravans.
Those clear corners did need different color bulbs, I used amber 3157's from my local auto parts store, along with some 194 amber corner bulbs.
Here the LED tails are for $135 shipped on eBay. No offense, but I can't stand altezzas or those "poking" tail lights. I bought these because they were LED and looked very believable as a factory option. No gaudy round reflector.

I wouldn't trade these LED tails for anything. All I need to do is rebuild my 60-LED third brake light I made. Few of the LED's went out in that![Frown](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Brake, this was with my six-LED aftermarket third brake light available on eBay.. Which I later determined wasn't sufficient.

Made my own third brake light using two 30 row strips of LED's (60 individual LED's).

The only lights I STRONGLY recommend staying away from are the LED front lights. I had those for a year or so, I liked them at first, but they were junk. They started yellowing after about 6 months, and for some reason I would get a random fast flash on one side only. It wouldn't do it every time, seemed to be more evident in the cold weather. Thankfully the drivers side got the reflector on the side knocked out when I hit the second deer so putting them back in wasn't even an option![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I was surprised by the UPS guy today.. Got this delivered.. Loved my Magnaflow, but it's just too bad it's too quiet. Probably going to have it installed tomorrow, and while I'm at it have the tips come out each side behind the rear tires.
