: LED tailights
TIM Z 02-08-2009, 06:15 PM Who Makes the Best LED tailights ?
Im tired of my Brake light bulb working intermitantly. Was thinking LED lights would solve it.
Im looking for a nice set of Smoked LED tails , Dont want any Ricer Euro crap.
Maybe even LED replacement bulbs might work for me as i like the stock taillights.
Any suggestions?
jimmyjack1 02-08-2009, 06:35 PM i got some nice tinted ones off ebay for under 100 bucks, sorry thats the best pics of them i have on my laptop, theirs pics in my garage but there from a distance but on those you can tell there tinted better
nekkidhillbilly 02-08-2009, 08:09 PM yeah those i cant remember the brand but you find them on ebay all the time good stuff
TIM Z 02-09-2009, 05:25 PM Thanks guys.:) Any body use LED bulbs with the stock tail lights?
jimmyjack1 02-09-2009, 06:09 PM i had them in the front of my old truck , i didnt like them they made the blinker blink fast like a lights out, but these tail lights have the resistor in them to light the lights blink the right way
GetSome8.1HD 02-09-2009, 06:27 PM Id be careful buying those off ebay. Every pair of normal clears Ive bought off there always get condensation in them and leak at the carwash. You get that in LED's and they're done. If you like the stockers just goto AutoZone and get some LED bulbs to put in there. I liked em when I had em on my other truck. Or go here (http://www.superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html) and order em. But hey if these guys dont have probs then Id go that route too.
nekkidhillbilly 02-10-2009, 12:47 AM ic an vouch for them and the anzo clears off ebay had both no issues

nekkidhillbilly 02-10-2009, 12:50 AM oh and silver something is the brand of the ebay ones there good quality
Ryanjb01 02-10-2009, 11:51 AM What flasher do you need to use if you swap the bulbs for LED's?
Bigredchevy03 02-10-2009, 12:12 PM x2 on the recon lights....love mine pics of them in garage.
jambiefs 02-10-2009, 12:32 PM I just put a Recon smoked third brake light in. Looks so good I ordered the tail lights to match!

You could also just wire in an inline resistor.
Beware the ebay LED bulbs- I have a set in the DRL's on my truck now and after 6 weeks more bulbs were dead than lit. You get what you pay for. I know a lot of people don't care for Recon but I have had nothing but great experiences with their stuff and plan on getting their LED tails this spring when the damn heating bill isnt so high.
TIM Z 02-10-2009, 06:13 PM Many thanks for the Replies!
I like the way the Recons look, just have heard horror stories of their quality and cust serv, Plus they Ripped off Top Hogs install instructions.
But if i can find a good set i might go that route.
Im just tired of my brake light not working.:(
BTW, Looking good bigredchevy03 !!
nekkidhillbilly 02-10-2009, 10:11 PM What flasher do you need to use if you swap the bulbs for LED's?
www.superbrightleds.com has them you just need the one that is set up for leds vs filaments that fits a silverado

leds in drls wont last long with any set up like signals they need a inline resistor due to the way they use the pulse set up. as for inline resistors for lights well the bad thing is they got hot you need to cut wires and and cost about same as a flasher which just plugs in
nekkidhillbilly 02-10-2009, 10:49 PM plus you need a load resistor for each bulb

So you are happy with them? What caused the blown fuses? Any pics?
hondarider552 02-11-2009, 07:31 PM dont have pics sorry, but i blew the fuses because i wired the "plug and play" sockets wrong and yeah.. lol
TIM Z 02-11-2009, 07:33 PM dont have pics sorry, but i blew the fuses because i wired the "plug and play" sockets wrong and yeah.. lol
