Not sure I am reading your post correctly but are you installing red strobes on the truck? In most states red (and blue) strobes are illegal for non-law enforcement/EMS vehicles. You can run white and yellow but you may have an issue with red. Just thought I would throw that out there….<O</O

Yes I was talking about the red led in the switch. But I will have red in the brake light and white in the reverse and amber in the turn signals up front. But the red is ok because Im a volunteer firefighter and we are able to run any color to the back.

Now a update on the original question that I had on if LED hidaways will fit in the reverse light the answer is kind of. I ended up having to grind down the lip on the truck so they would not rub. But I did get them in. Also a side note that you cannot put them in on the bottom dont ask how I know lol
