I pick #1. But anything is better than the ****ty-looking, faded stocker. (except for #2 )

I like my stocker best. I sold Squirrels my LED one, that is kinda similar to #1, but not smoked. Worked good, but decided I didn't like the LEDs.

Either way, the bed lights pretty much stink, stock or otherwise.

There's a light that turns on for your pop down cup holder to.

really? i actually never did notice that on my 98. on the 95, i got tired of picking up shakes off of the floor due to that 2 cm deep cupholder on the top of the dash. so i cut it out and replaced with a cb.

The 1995 doesn't (IIRC), but the 1998 and later on does. The cup holder has a light behind/above it that comes on when you drop it down.

At least, it should. Sometimes they burn out, but can be very easily replaced.

I have worried about getting a led 3rd brake light with stock tails. I have a feeling it would look dumb.

That is something I've considered, but it seems to look fine with the stock tail lights. I used to run black covers, but I kept getting pulled over for them, so I've officially excepted that I need to run the red tails. I just finished buying a black 3rd brake light. This way it doesn't really cause any attention to itself when it's not braking; but when it brakes, a nice row of LEDs will show up. I think it looks nice.
