Cargo lamps >> 921 XP50 Cool White LED (pair) - 921 - Bulbs By Size - Lighting

3rd light >> 921 HP5 LED (one) - 921 - Bulbs By Size - Lighting

Oh trust me I remember! I was out at early morning hours just to get some playtime in with the snow before our 3,000 snow plows cleared the road out. :flipthebird:

I like those switchbacks. Probably going to have to pull the trigger on those. I tried installing some from superbright leds but never got them to work. Any issues installing? And if its not that too much to ask could you post a video of the switchbacks during the daytime.

How much brighter is the LED's than the stock ones.

Looks good. I got switchbacks in my GTP.. Love them..

EagleChief · Jan 15, 2015

Looks great. Regarding the tag lights... being that bright, do they interfere with the rear view camera, if you have it? I'd eventually like to upgrade my lights to LED's and have heard that a "cool white" LED in the tag light glares on the camera.

Looks good! I like the clear white. Stands out and is nice and bright.

I'll post a daytime video in soon as I can. in my original post I do have a video of them in the garage with some daylight.

my second video is the best I can show. Mind you that its in my painted housings. So they won't be as bright as OEM housing which will be way brighter

No it doesn't really interfere.

This pic is with the Cree reverse bulbs and LED plate lights thru the camera on the Mygig radio. The 8.4 screen will be different. On our Jeep Cherokee its not as sharp and clear as mine. I would assume thats because instead of a better camera resolution to fit the 8.4 screen they just blew up the current resolution to fit the 8.4 screen.

This is a pic of the back of the truck with the LEDs

Where did you get your reverse bulbs and tag bulbs? I ordered some tag bulbs for my '14 and when they showed up they were to long and couldn't put them in the whole way...

hemi1282 · Jan 15, 2015

LB3711, seeing your truck for the 1st time gave me the idea to do the led conversion in mine, I just thought that was the coolest ****, I've done all mine but glovebox and under hood I just cant seem to pop that cover off under the hood, but ya truck lookin good bud

LB3711 · Jan 16, 2015

thanks.

I never did under the hood. I swapped hoods before I could do that. I don't have a location to mount the under hood light. I have portable LED lights to use at night if I need be.
