Ok, I think this thread deserves a fresh start with some actual photos/videos to help in future Google searches for other users.

Vendor: Amazon
Cost: $206 (shipping included)

So my big thing is I wanted to just have constant amber DRL's. I had no interest in the sequential start up sequence or the switchback from white/amber. Good news it does it just fine.

The construction was actually pretty damn surprising. You know when you get a raptor knock-off knock-off (yes I typed that twice) for $160, the ABS feels flimsy and QC is hit or miss.

This thing is heavy and I can't find any flaws on the forward facing side. I am really impressed for the money.

No offense to RTR, but $600+ can go to a lot of other projects.

Video below shows just constant amber and if you wait a moment I hook up the normal sequence.

Spending more on the real knockoff makes you more of a man though ?‍♀

But really... it's a decent looking piece. I might have to get one myself.

Nice - for that price, it would be a good looking grille even if it didn’t have the lights. Can’t wait to see it installed on that white truck!

Well this is the best I can offer tonight. About to hit the sack early so I can get up early and knock out the install.

Does it stick out forward more than normal? Or just an illusion?

Not too shabby Jack.

Can it be installed without the lights?

I'm thinking it might be a little busy for Lariat DRL strips.

Following this post! I'm really just interested in the White DRL's and the ambers for turn signals. I'm not a huge fan of the startup show. Is all of that adjustable when you wire it up?
