OP they look good. I've seen them too, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Not that they're bad, just my own issues with them.
Are you still happy with them now that they've been on your truck for about a month?
That’s cool. Not too crazy about the price tho
That was one of my issue with them. Way too expensive, for having to be turned on/off manually. I might have consider the price reasonable if they worked with your marker lights, but it bugged me that you had to turn them on/off each time. I know it's a small thing, but it bugged me just the same.
Maybe they could have a sensor that is plugged inline to one of the corner markers. That sensor sends the on/off signal to the cab lights when the marker lights turn on/off instead of using a remote.
My other issue was that I park in garage so I doubt they'd run long for me.
There’s some more posts about these on the forum. People complain about the short time the batteries last and the fact that they get ‘out of sync’
From what I read they resolved the sync issue by disabling the flash option that they used to have. They are only on/off now, which allegedly prevents them from getting out of sync with each other.
Out of fear that every HD will laugh at me
That is one thing I miss about my 3500. But I don't think I could ever bring myself to put them on my 1500. Be like a 16 year old kid getting his first girlfriend and thinking big so he goes to the drug store and leaves with a box of Magnums
What does it being a 1500 have to do with anything? Technically speaking you don't need them on a 2500 or SRW 3500 either. The only truck that has to have them is a Dually because the DOT requires them for vehicles over 80" wide (that's why they have the 3 red lights on the rear too).
Speaking of, the TRX (a 1500) has them in the hood scoop. This is obviously an attempt by Dodge to be compliant with DOT regulation, by mounting them on the vertical centerline per the exception outlined in footnote 1 of the code. 49CFR393.11
At the end of the day, cab lights are a DOT requirement to alert traffic that a vehicle greater than 80" wide is approaching. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't signify it's capacity, or as HD or anything like that.
So if you're laughing at people who have them but don't need them, you should be laughing at 2500 owners with them too. Yet you can buy it from the factory with them on a 2500. So if they're good for a 2500, they're good for a 1500.
