Are now released!!!!

Todd (of Retro-Solutions) has been working quite a while on these, wanting to get them RIGHT! The fun part, the 4th gens - the reverse bulbs sit in the light a little cockeyed. So, a nice rear facing LED bulb just won't cut it. Both sides sit differently too. Fun 'eh? So, Todd worked some magic and got the bulbs worked up! I shot him over a tail light from our trucks a few months back for him to use for mocking these up - so, my lucky ass got the first set out the door. :crazy:

What do these things look like? Crappy cell shot, but here:

Ok, on to the pics! All of these pics were taken with the exact same camera settings (1/2 second shutter speed, ISO-100, F/2.8, 35MM prime lens).

The subject? My fence. :Wedgie: The fence is about 35-40 ft away from the back of the truck (keep in mind, the 35mm lens makes it look VERY close)

Let it get a little darker out and here's the light output from the stock bulbs:

The money shot....................spiffy!!!

This is the first time I have turned off my bumper light (a light buster utility light) in over 3 years (and 2 trucks). I have a VERY tight driveway, which slopes down to my garage. 20% tint on the windows. Every night I back in, I put the windows down, and still sometimes wish for more light. Not tonight. I could see quite well, with the windows up, without the auxiliary backup light on.

Pricing? 921 912 906 T15 5W CREE LED Reverse Wedge Bulbs - Retro-Solutions Store :********:

Thanks Todd for an EXCELLENT product, as always!! :birgits_tiredcoffee

figures they release them now lol

He's been working on them for a bit, actually has another version coming out, but I couldn't wait! :D

Email Todd ([email protected]) - he's got some now.

Will these work with recon tails?

Did they use your stock bulbs originally, or did they come with their own? If stock, yes. If their own, I'm not sure - never had a recon set here. They worked with my LED tails though.

sweet!

REady now! They aren't for the brake lights, but he has some other LEDs that will work for those. 3157 in RED, with resistors.

bottom, same as stock.

I haven't seen a set of 4th Gens that mount from the back yet. I'd be REALLY surprised if Recon did that.

Here's a pic of the stock stuff. I put black tape on the stock bulbs to show where they would be at pointing straight out.
