That was apparent. I was being too easy with it. When you get them you will feel how thin the caps are and see the clips. Clips always seem to break which was the reason of me being too easy. I just said screw it and pryed hard and it popped off.

I got them friday and still haven't installed them. Tomorrow I'm gonna color match them to my truck and install them

They look really good!

Any wire with constant power should work fine.

Fantastic, I cant wait to do this. My right glass is broken and the left plastic somehow melted on the sail. This would be a nice visual upgrade since I want to replace them
