over the last couply days i've been changing out all my rear bulbs to LED, i just changed the bulbs in my oem housing. added a led tailgate bar, and led 3rd stoplight with led cargo lights also got the $13 interior leds fron v-led also have a clip of my volinteer firefighter lights enjoy!


tailgate bar : the turn signals are sequenced amber led hard to see on my ****** camer lol
tail lights :i just used the 3157 with 18 leds aiming out at the end plus 6 radially mounted leds aiming at the sides off ebay3157 RED 24 LED WEDGE BULB TURN TAIL BRAKE DUAL on eBay.ca (item 360282229900 end time 25-Jul-10 11:34:15 EDT) but had to wire load resistors on the brake and turn signal light also had to change the base of the led bulb from standard 3157 to 3157 SRCK, its just the way the wires are arranged on the socket or it blows fuses

Simon, thank you. One side has been out for over a year --so looking to replace them both with better lighting.

What about the plastic part can that be replaced with something a little more clear?

the plastic part defuses the light better, i tried it with just a piece of Plexiglas but the light went everywhere but on the tag.

I think they snap in........I don't remember. Get behind 'em and see if you can push 'em out. Take some toothpaste to 'em.

You lawbreaker speeder---lol.

nah, I don't really speed, but I don't need to have bright lights on my tags either. :)

I did the same mods minus the fire and ice bar. Goes to show sometimes the cheapest mods can be my favorite. The tag lights are led in by clips. If you stick your head under the bumper all you do is twist the lights out then remove these retainer clips then the light receptacles should just pop out.
