I am considering of updating those candles i have up front..they just not bright enough for my old eyes.
Who updated and what did you guys use ? anyone using LED lighting ? any suggestion on tail lights?

 

I have used the LED bulbs for my back up lights, and they made a big difference. I have some pretty dark tinted windows as well, so seeing where I am going backwards at night can add to the fun when I dont want to roll down the window, LOL!

There are a ton of light upgrades one can go with to get more light. I know the HID lights can be pretty intense, but so can the price, and you have to find a reputable manufacturer. That along with pricing can be interesting.

Aftermarket lenses and housings help. Though I am not saying that the factory housings are bad, but the diffuser type lenses are pretty outdated for whats being used today. I stepped away from the factory headlamps, and went with some aftermarket headlight housings with clear lenses. That was a good start to getting better lighting up front. The Sylvania Silver Stars are also an awesome bulb to use in either factory headlamps or after markets. Every vehicle I have bought I have swapped out to the Silver Stars right away. There are also several other bulbs a person can get that would be brighter, but I havent personally tested them simply because of being happy with the Silver Stars.

 

Couple of ideas that might help. First is to replace the current electrical wiring with a kit from LMC or one of your own. It runs the lights directly off the battery and runs the switch through a relay. The current stock setup runs the battery power through the switch and definitely effects the amount of juice getting to the bulbs. Plus it is a safer way to route the power. Easy install and well worth the $80 bucks.
I like the Silver Star bulbs too but when I bought the truck it had some big bulbs in it. They were 80/110s I think and they were great. But they burned out and I can't find replacements - plus, I think they are not actually legal.
Finally, I have a 6" set of KCs on the front and they are well worth the money if you drive in rural areas where you can click them on. I ran the switches through relays just like the LMC set up and when you kick those on it is like driving in the day time. I also put a small set of "driving lights" on the back to use as trailer lights and ran them through relays too. They provide great light when backing up and were only $25 bucks.
Good luck. Here's the KCs


And here's the switches

 

If you have a auto trans you'll have to put resistors inline to run LED tails are you'll have shifting issues

 

Check out xtralights.com you can get heads pre loaded with HID's for around 320

 

One of the best options is to go with modern projector HIDs. That is what I am planning.

I will likely not use the turn lenses that he got because I don't like the crystal style.

Thanks for all the info . Lookalike to keep the cost down I get some clear lights and add the sylvania bulbs. Might also add some extra lights on my grill. Now I just got to find some inexpensive running board lights in led.
