Very nice. Nothing wrong with a modification that appears like an OEM option.

Sweet, I'm going to have to do this. Is the flood lights an option? My 2011 FX4 doesnt have them.

Reminds me, something happened to my rear light LEDs.

Nice mod, I did the same on my Plat, used the Recon clear lense with amber LED kit, looks great when in use and also a huge improvement over the stock orange reflectors, the clear reflective lense blends much better!

The puddle lamps underneath the mirrors are not standard fare on all 150's. I believe they start with the Fx series equipped with the lux pkg and go up from there. To the op-nice mod, and its good to see what a difference swapping out that bulb makes. I will keep it in mind for when I swap out my lenses this summer.

Sorry guess should have done a build thread on the flood lamps cuz its a pain. Once you pop the flood lamp out of the mirror you have to take the lense apart from the plastic holder which is glued together. I used a razor blade that I would heat up and cut through the glue. DO NOT try to heat the assembly it will tarnish the lense cap. You can try to put them in the oven for the little bit but I have no idea how that will work. I hope this helps

I also want to do the LED upgrade, how was the wiring? did you splice it into the other blinker wires on your mirror?
