word of caution, I went led brake lights for the tails, I left the blinker bulb alone,Retro's led set up needs a resistor wired in the blinker bulb too work properly. So I left the top bulb oem, for know At least thats what I was told. at retro.

I would need a resistor on my bulb. But one of your 3 lights doesn't blink, just lights up. So it doesn't need a resistor.

No they are maybe a tad brighter, but at least you don't have too replace anytime soon.

I see all of you guys adding fancy bright lights to your trucks and I'm a bit jealous because I would just like to figure out why my stock back up lights don't work. Right now I have no lights in reverse. I've replaced the transmission switch, checked voltage at the taillights, checked everything in the steering column and still nothing. When I shift from neutral to reverse the back up lights will just start to glow, but not stay on. The dealership says it sounds like something in the valve body. Not sure I'm buying that though. I'm out of ideas, can any of you help?
