I like your fog lamps too.

Thanks! They are from Diode Dynamics.

Has anyone tried connecting these lights to the turn signals? I know there a several posts on making the side markers that are high up close to the mirrors into turn signals but I think I would like them a little lower down on the fender.

The 194 style bulb is only a single-filament (on or off) vs. other bulbs that are dual-filament (dim, bright, off). So you could have either marker lights or turn signals, but not both. Unless you went really custom, then anything is possible.

Thanks, will keep researching the idea.

The lens is clearly a Retroreflector design (also called a Reflex Reflector) using corner cubes, but it doesn't appear to be a very effective one. They also don't have the proper markings indicating compliance with the standards for such -- "DOT SAE" doesn't mean much without the markings "A" (SAE J495 Reflex Reflector) and "P2" (SAE J592 sidemarker for vehicles less than 2032mm in width).

Note: Aftermarket auto parts in the US are not approved by anyone -- the manufacturers self-certify that their product is compliant with the standard. Even if the correct markings were present, they could lie.​

Anyway, these side markers are far from OEM quality in my opinion. They aren't terribly effective and the bulb socket didn't fit very well. I won't be surprised if the clear lens turns yellow in a few years. But I understand they look cool and they're cheap.

To anyone who buys these, please spend another $5 on amber LEDs -- they're a lot cheaper than a ticket.

So the type of reflector that if you are laying on the ground with a flashlight to the side of the truck you'll see it.

But anyone actually sitting in another vehicle at driver head height with typical headlight position would not.

Been seeing more of those as people buy cheap stuff for their cars around here.
Funnily enough - more and more then fail to turn on their night time lights because their DRL are fooling them. Shoot many times not even that. So they aren't even remembering to use their new lights!

I just installed my clear ones on our Azure gray 24 and very pleased with the look. I did use Diode dynamics amber lights to stay legal.

Installed these smoked version on my Shadow Black with BAP.
This and the 3rd brake light were the only lights that just didn't fit with the BAP.
One of these was little loose installed, some 3m tape took care of that.
One of the clips broke on the factory lens, and the bulbs also look burnt, less than 1 yr .
Installed Lasfit amber led bulbs, they will be plenty bright.

Easy to remove - just use PLASTIC trim removal tools.
Here is a video from F150LEDs on removing the marker light.

This may work for some, but I protected the paint but managed to deform the bumper in the process; and was still unable to pop them out. Going to have to pop the felt and go from under to be truly safe.

I find it much easier/safer to go from underneath. If you remove the engine shield like you are doing an oil change, you can see both lights from underneath. Can't reach them with your hands, but if you use a long prybar or screwdriver you can push the little clip and they will pop right out. Don't pry on the light, just push the clip that holds it in. If you look at the new light it will help visualize it.

If same as 24, the passenger side is easy to do from the back side, just turn the wheel in, take out the plastic clips, pull the felt back and can actually grab the light from the back side. Now the driver's side, a metal bracket is in the way, tho you could get a long screwdriver in, but can not see what you are doing. A Bursell's suggestion would work better from the driver's side.

Yea, I had to remove the fender liner clips and push the tabs from behind the fender. Still broke one of the clips on the light, but I won't be re-using the original.
If I want to, a little 3m tape would hold it in place.
I really like the smoked, and the Lasfit amber bulbs are plenty bright, even in daylight.

just at the shop now. Doing tint , wrapping the only bit of space white paint in box under window …corner markers done.

Smoked version of speedpro

Here is an installation on an Eruption Green Lariat Hybrid. Darn reflections look like spots on the paint but they are not. Bought amber bulbs on Amazon and arrived overnight. I am pleased with the way they look with the blackout package.
