Replaced all the rear lights with LED's back in November. Thought I'd throw some before and after pics up here! I'm not sure how much brighter the reverse lights are, but at least they look cool lol. Bought them from SuperBrightLEDs

You ever get the LED map light issue solved?

Unfortunately no. The dealer tried but the interior lights are built right into a computer chip so they can't be changed.

Here are some pics of my PA gap Guards. If you stand back you can't tell they're there. They cover it the gap pretty well so I'm happy! Looks better than before!

I just used the bulb finder on superbrightleds.com to find which bulb it is. Now if if when you pull it all apart that it'll be what they say it is, but at least it's something right?

I can't remember the bulb number though. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow!

So a couple buddies of mine opened a LED Lighting company up here in Canada, Reckless Industries. They hooked me up with a 50" curved LED Light bar for my truck! We mounted it underneath the bumper. I've attached pics of where the mounts bolt into. The 50" curved fits perfectly in there! When we took the wind deflector off there just so happened to be 2 holes already in the frame exactly where we needed the mounts to go! All we needed to do was bolt them in.

Next we mounted the light bar and wired it up. I used a SPDT (on/off/on switch) switch so that I could have it on when the truck is off, off completely, or on when the high beams turn on. It works like a charm!

 

[xrsman]

Here's a little before and after. The first picture is with just the low beams and fogs on. The second is with the lows, fogs and LED Light Bar on. Huge difference!

I've got a couple more things waiting for install, so stay tuned!

That's a great looking truck.

Did you have to trim the wheel studs with the 1.5" spacers or was there enough clearance?
