They work & fit well for me. Brad

It helps brighten the stock bulbs. LED lights work good too and then you don't have take your cluster apart. Just my $1.98. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 40 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 40 | Thanks for the idea.I painted inside my tail light housing silver and made a world of difference with them.I plan on replacing my instrument cluster with a non deluxe one (like original,i have added a custom deluxe unit) later and will remember this. | | |
