I did the LEDs. However, apparently in the state of New Mexico all marker lights, even overheads have to be amber. I got pulled over last weekend going snowboarding in Durango. I'll throw a pic up tomorrow night before I put the amber's back in

I didnt do my homework on this one... I had an idea and went with it... They matched my C2 gauges perfectly. I ordered a set of amber LEDs so those will be here tomorrow since I forgot today was a holiday but o well... its best just to succeed to the law and not push my luck. The cop that got me could have gave me a ticket but he didn't so in the end its fine with me

Im going to leave my arguemnet here... How come semis get away with red and blue overheads?I've even seen one with green clearance lights...

I had a purple F-150 years ago and was always getting in trouble for purple and blue lights. I have finally gone all red and amber, then got pulled over because the red markers were making it hard to read my plate at night even though I did still have a white light illuminating it. Currently though, I do have tons of blue LED's in the cab of my truck, about 80 I think. My factory guages, aftermarket guages, HVAC panel, speakers, stereo, amp, shifter, all have blue LED's.

there was a time when it was 3 green in the middle and the others amber.. if your truck is of certian years (don't ask me which years) you can have the 3 greensin the middle and the rest ambers.

I will try, for some reason, pics of LED's never turn out to well. The light doesn't look as blue in pics. My shifter is a little ricey, but it has come in quite handy as it doubles as a flashlight since it unscrews really quick. The third pic is of my door speakers, they each have 4 LED's in them. I want to get some strip lights under the dash to come on when getting in the truck.

its a lot easier to get away with lights IN the cab, prolly only get "harrased" if you were already stoped. BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE BLUE OR RED LIGHTS ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE (BESIDES THE FACTORY OEM POSITIONS FOR RED LIGHTS), THEY ARE EMERGENCY LIGHTING. when we run to DE for fishing trips, we need to rip our blue lights off of our trucks that we use for fire police/firemen (in PA) calls. in DE that is what the POLICE use for their cars. them lights can get kinda funny, and hairy. i usually tell people to stick with amber lights in the front, and red facing the rear, and nothing under your vehical (at least in pa) it is not acceptible, and will most likely get you a ticket, and not a warning. however,,,,i never heard of anyone getting yelled at for making amber clearence lights darker. but i am sure someone will correct me on some of this stuff with "official laws"

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oh and the inside of your truck looks sweet, and those blue clearnce lights did look pretty sick.
