Good lights!: my feedback

I bought these lights for my 2015 Freightliner Coronado Glider which is the older body style. I ended up buying these from ebay for $16 when I found out freightliner wanted $69 a piece. These lights are really nice and were really easy to install. Only downfall was the mounting points were 3/8 of an inch too wide so I oblong the holes in the fender. Now this is where it gets tricky! Freightliner has "a special 3 wire light” so this light won’t work 100% properly because it’s a 2 wire light but I was able to get it working 100% as long as you have the running lights on, the blinker will work properly. There’s no other way around it. I wired it every way possible trying to jump the marker light wire(green) and the blinker light wire (tan) but nothing would allow the blinker to blink if the running lights were not on. It’s a grounding issue. So wire it as follows: Black wire of new light goes to the green wire of harness and the red wire of new light goes to the tan wire of the harness. The 3rd wire on my truck which is black I did not use. Everything works as it should as long as you have the running lights on and it mounted perfectly flush. They look better than Freightliner’s lights too.

Pros
  • Amazingly bright better then stock ones and bright at all angles
Cons
  • The amber LED lights may not be visible in some driving conditions, such as during heavy rainfall or foggy weather, potentially decreasing visibility and safety on the road
