Has Anybody Used LED Bulbs On Their Truck?
I was wondering if anybody has used LED bulbs for the tailights, because my clear tailights are coming this week. I also plan on using white LEDs 194 for the corners, 1156 for the turn signals, 7443 for the brake light and 7440 for the backup and turn signals. Does anybody have any experience with them?
thanks ![]()

I have a set in mine.
They work pretty well. Stock 1st gen tail lights look pinkish but with the LED tails in they are bright red spots

I had them for about a week and then one burned out and of course they ran in series so both didn't work. Plus..I have the Jaos roof spoiler with LED 3rd light so that would stay on with the taillights.

Where did you guys get yours?
I was at a car audio store in my town when I saw a display for LED light replacements, but they didn't have a clue where they got it from. I guess it had just been sitting there forever so no one could remember. ![]()

Are they worth getting especially for my all clear tailights?

I think they would be great for interior lights (dash, hvac, dome)

I think they would be great too. I like how they use so much less power and you could easily change the number of LED's to get an exact amount of light, and there are a bunch of colors for that matter as well.

Try your local marine store for LEDs if you want to look at them before buying. They have a few direct replacement bulbs and a bunch of different complete fixtures for dome lights or door lights. I wired my cap with a set of four triple LED fixtures and they are bright enough to read by.
