I bought the amber lights from LMC and just put them on my 95. Then I bought white light LED bulbs because of all the hype on how good they are. To test them I installed them in two of the five lights. The amber color looked good with regular bulbs. But the two LED bulbs made the amber lens look green. So I put the regular bulbs back in. I'm sure since they are sold as a unit the clear ones will look good with LED bulb, just a lesson for me. Six LED bulbs from Advanced Auto $33...ouch! Just need to find a place to use them.

They are 194 replacements so you could use them in the instrument cluster if they are white leds. If they are amber bulbs you could use two of them in the corner lights on the front of the truck.

Yes they are the white 194s. Thanks for the info for instrument panel use.

Clear what turn green in three months? Are you referring to the clear cab light lenses or the clear led bulbs? If you are referring to the clear cab light lenses, how do you know this? Is this from personal experience at having bought them and installed them on your or another persons truck? When this happened what was the corrective method that you used to resolve this matter? Did you return them to LMC or did you simply remove the lenses and clean them and reinstall? If you returned them to LMC, what did they say as to why it happened? Thanks for any information you can provide to us about the "green" issue.

Chinese lenses. Maybe not green, but a mixture of green/yellow. It takes a long time though, 6 months or so, which is pretty dang long lived for a chinese lense really, so you get good life out of it. 6 months clear, the rest green/yellow which is even better.

Lights look good! I really like the chrome base. Do you know if these lights are the same shape as the amber ones listed in LMC as 49-3700? They look the same to me.
