Looks great! Great price

Looks great! Good price! But serious quality control problems! These things are inexpensive and look very good. But fit and finish are questionable. The driver's side taillight had holes in the wrong place to allow the existing OEM factory brake/turn signal connector tabs to fit in. So be prepared to make some adjustments on the spot with a sharp knife or razor blade to get everything just right. Also the socket bases on the driver and passenger side taillight assemblies where the existing OEM screw bases were rough and unevenly machined. You will need some RTV clear silicone to create a weatherproof seal around the nozzle seals. Cast-in "stopsโ€ on the driver and passenger side nodes that fix the rotating regular brakes, brakes, turn signals and reversing lights proved useless. These stops weren't high enough or thick enough to engage the plastic locking levers on the OEM connectors. I had to tighten it by feel. I hope they don't come loose during use. Some installation issues around the taillights and the space in the back of the truck that they fit. Too much free space on one side, too little on the other, uneven free space around the closed tailgate. Hopefully you can play around with the fit a bit and adjust those gaps more evenly. While Spyder Auto sells a number of taillight assemblies with new bulbs and new wiring harnesses, they don't. You must use your existing lightbulbs, wiring harnesses and outlets. OK for the price. If the quality control was better I would give 4 stars.
