The few times I've seen it, I was impressed with the visability factor. The yellow really stands out. For those of you that have done it, any suggestions on what sealed beam to use
I did. Replaced the white bulbs in the aux lights by amber sealed beams. Much more noticeable in traffic. I've been using amber for >10 years now and will not consider anything else.

That's the look I want. Got a link to where you got those?

I bought mine at www.ryderfleetproducts.com . Part number A27 4415A
I paid less than 15 bucks for 2.
Mod to the wiring is required since you're going to replace your stock bulbs by sealed beams. You'll have to cut the stock wires just behind the socket and hook-up spade connectors to connect them to the screw terminals on the backc of the sealed beams.
No biggie. Took me something like 45mn to complete the project and this includes putting the auxiliary lamp trim rings back on.

Mine's an '02 and has the single wires with the connectors already. I should be good. Thanks for the link. I'll post some pix once I get them and install them.

Yep, sounds about right with shipping. You're gonna love the result. No only they look great but you'll get noticed more easily in traffic.

They are great for low light and fog situations.

I agree that they are more visable. Might want to check your state laws. In WI you can only use them in adverse weather. Just a thought.
