The cheapest that I see now are these. Mine were $30 cheaper, looks like the same ones.

And here is a nice set of regular smoked tail lights.

Those are the ones I had. Be careful, they are DARK! If it's bright out, you can hardly see any light from them.

Models?
Backup lights as well?
I would love to add LED's.
Yes as dakotaff said, its the whole housing with the resistors already apart of it (plug n' play) and I bought the reverse lights a while back from VLEDs. Now I need LED for the interior, front turns and 3rd brake light

Just be careful with the interior LEDs. Some guys got the cheaper ebay led lights and the interior lights always stay lit, very dim though. I picked mine up from superbrightleds and do not have that problem. They are really nice and bright, definitely recommend them.

love that third brake light/cargo LED when you unlock the truck at night..yeah, that guy seems to do a nice job but if you message him prior to purchasing you can tell him to mask off the reverse lights and how many coats to do. If I buy another pair I will paint them myself again..the only problem was that was the start of my "rattle can career" and actually the first cosmetic mod to my truck!

Flowmaster 10 series he has..that is the muffler anyway. I don't know where he got the pipes and black tailpipes though. He has a thread about it here with a video, sounds nice for a Flowmaster muffler for sure
