I used the oval led lights, I cut the back side of the original housing out and silicone them in. I think they look great and are much brighter. Look in my build thread and you will see pictures of them. I did the front and side marker lights as well
if anybody has any pics with the LED lights from HiPo installed id love to see some. also torn between the cool white and warm white for the backup lights

Here they are in Blue There is a little bleed over into the turn signals but not as much as the picture indicates. I also don't think that is related to the lights, but that I didn't get things fit up tightly.
I've used on my truck (1978 f150) bulbs from superbrightleds.com
sidemarkers , turn, backup and brake lights.
If you go to the site just put in make year and model and the bulbs come up
good luck
Oh remember when possible use bulbs the same color as the lens ie. red with red, yellow with yellow and so on
Here's the link to the thread on what I did for taillights and turn signals on my 78. The only way to fly in my opinion. Can't tell from the outside that it has been done. As others have said all you have to do is cut a hole in the back side of the taillight housing and glue (I saw others used silicone) in a oval sealed beam LED light. You will also have to cut off your old pigtail but those things are a maintenance issue in themselves as far as keeping a good ground. Good luck!!

I went to your other post and saw what you did, looks great.
I have a question for you. I went to the place you got your lights from and noticed something.
The have flush mount ones.
what do you think about those? I'm thinking instead of cutting the back out and gluing them in, instead cut the front out and run screw through and run the pig tail out through the back socket.
I know they wont set flush but this way you can just unscrew them them to replace.
Or do you think it would look dorky?
