Wiring the resistor to the turn signals is easy. It took me all of 15mins to do all 4 of mine. And as said that is most likly why they don't include it from the factory.

From the picture, it looks good... but dim. Those deflectors better have a way to project light laterally as well as directly behind.

I also would be interested to see how these light look in real life. Anyone bought them yet?

When I get them in a week or two I'll post some pics.

Hi,
Thanks for the info on this.. I too have ordered it... its a bit pricey, but a nice upgrade.. I was a bit jealous seeing all the new runner having LED brake lights... I'm just glad this one looks exactly like OEM. I should be getting them within the week.. I'll post up some pics once i get them installed... stupid question.. our 3rd brake light, is it led? I don't believe so, but it could be my eye's...if not, i sort of want to complete the look.. any suggestion? I belive the bulb is 921.. wondering if anything out there to give it a straight line look.

Thanks!!

I just put an LED bulb in it, it works great and is not only brighter but lights up quicker.

I actually replaced everylight in my truck with LED's, and could not be happier. Now i just need to rip apart the dash and get all of those changed...

I've got LED brake light bulbs, they really didn't impress me all that much. Hopefully in a day or two I can order these tail lights!

Yeah, it totally depends on the type of LED you got. I tried some they were cheap and they were not good at all. But then i paid the $$$ and got some nice ones and they are nice and bright.

Dude I have seen you ride and you have more lights than an airport on that rig. Anyone ever flash their high beams at you and you blow them up with ALL your lights?

My lawyer has said i should not disclose that info...lol

But then i don't listen to him about anything else either. Actually there will be another 6 - 8 lights mouted on top when i get the time and $$ (oh and the blue lights are gone now). I have some lights bars that i will be able to take off at will for off-roading. and later all my lights except for the 2 outside hellas on the front will be converted to 50w HID.

As for lighting someone up, uh, yeah. I was on a trip to Oklahoma a few months back and going down the backroad i have my highbeams on but i turn them off when osmeone else came along. Well this guy is at least a mile off and comes over a hill it take me a few seconds to long to turn my high beams off so he decides to flip him on and leave them that way for the next 15 secs or so. Well i live with it and when we are not that far away i hit him full force with ALL my lights (the blues one were there then too) about a total of ~1000 watts of lights and my HID high beams. Well it scared him becuse he jercked his car as soon as i did it. I turned it off real quick but i think he learned a lesson... DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!

Where'd you get your LED's at? Both of my brake lights were $25 a piece, so they are pricy, but they don't impress me.

I got mine from V-leds.com (i think) it was a brand new design they had come out with when i bought them. they claimed big improvments and i have to say that they delivered. I was looking not to long ago and i think they released another version that is supposed to be better still.

Mine have 25+ leds in the bulb and they are nice and bright but also shin in every direction.

Guys, I can get these for you. I'm testing them out, and will report back with info, and pricing. I will confirm the quality, as they are more than a few copies of these lights out.

Fo_SheeZy · 10-26-2007, 12:02 PM

That's great news, I'd rather order them from you than I would off Ebay.
