only with mine, i didnt replace the lenses, you have to order some led bulbs, not sure what the website was but im sure someone will have it

just be careful taking the fixture apart, i cracked one of mine , speaking of, anyone have any stock fixtures they would like to get rid of?

Well it seems like the weather cleared one of my lights. I will have to get a pic but the driverside looks like it is clear, I just think the weather got to it and some how made it look clear instead of red. Has anybody else had this problem?
