LEDs for dash, cab lights, etc.: Round 2 debriefing w/ pics
#46
One day far from now after paint I'm probably going to swap to new headlamp housings, clear corners, and turns with leds and put on an HID kit. Also considered the clear LMC cab light housings.

Jacob, if you decide to do HIDs down the road... Go ahead and do projectors also. I've been running HIDs with no projectors for about a year also. They are great, but I have to keep them aimed so far down to keep the light out of drivers eyes that they really aren't doing me any good. I'm probably going to pull the HID kit out and go back to Silverstars since it's not a daily driver anymore.

I've been running LEDs in the signal lenses also for about a year... Whatever y'all do, DO NOT run SMD style LEDs up there. I went through two bulbs in every light on the front of the truck within a month with SMDs.. The actual turn signal lights only lasted about a week and a half. I took them out and used the older style LEDs and they last much longer.
