I think it would look best with the clear lenses from the B2000 pickup.

LED lights are great, tough, and efficient, produce little heat but these
particular lights really don't have the horsepower to be dispersed like other lights.
I installed a 2 prong electronic flasher in place of the 3 prong. Works better
with the bigger tandem axle trailers too.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig

Here's the option I went for.. no new parts needed, and goes right into the old socket.
They (Princess Auto up here in Alberta) also have an 1156 bulb (amber) for the front. The only problem is there's not enough resistance on the bulb so the flasher starts flashing things at double speed as compared to the old bulbs..Carz:

should have used white zip ties instead of black...but other then that I think they look good. I would try mounting them in the regular housing with clear lenses though."FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"

They self adhesive real good, but my buddy kept trying to figure
out how I did it ( picking at it ) till the 2 sided tape was no good.
I had black on hand..
I will replace the two sided stuff and remove the zip ties after
the novelty wears off!
The location is bad for my use in the woods for stock type lenses
these are a lot tougher than stock. Actually it was my boat trailer
that broke the final glass lens..in my own drive around!!Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig

I'd like to try this with three LED strips in one of the following combos:
-bright white LEDs with yellow stock lens cover
-bright yellow LEDs with clear lens cover
I'd also like to try and do the "dual blinkers" mod that connects the corner light to blink when the bumper light is off.
My "running light goal" would be to create extra bright brake lights, markers and blinkers while still reducing electric draw.
Another goal would be to have LED DRLs to run instead of driving with my stock headlights on like I do now. They wouldn't have to be quite as bright and they wouldn't have to have an effective night beam, but they'd again save electricity.
At some point I'd also like to go to HID headlights but I want to wait till there's more info on proper installation and safety. So I'm happy to let others be my guinea pigs.
