General Discussions who has L.E.D bulbs in tail light
This is a discussion on who has L.E.D bulbs in tail light within the General Discussions forums, part of the 3rd Gen : 2002 - 2008 category!
I would go with the top 5W. The bulb points straight back - that will give you the best bang ...

So Cree bulbs put out more light than the others? Would I need those for reverse lights with a clear case? I found superbright led that seem to be cheaper are they any good?

CREEs are bright mofos. Most LED bulbs are "bright" but don't throw the light far. the CREEs seem to do a good job with throwing light!
Reverse is up to you, they'll do a good job there too

Where does everyone mount their resistors when they use led's in their tails? Gonna get some just curious what everyone does with them. Also any help with which wire to hook them to so I don't have to waste time figuring it out? Does anyone have CREE's in theirs now? Might upgrade to those, dunno

I was under the impression they are just plug and play no need to have a resistor. correct me if I'm wrong.

For running turns and brakes I believe you need the resistors, but for reverse you do not.
I have LEDs in my tails, just cheapos off ebay, but I am looking at upgrading them all around.
