I haven't found any yet, but I did put in the Phillips 1157 LED bulbs and they are significantly brighter and come on more quickly than the standard 1157 bulbs...

Somebody on here made a set a while back but i cant seem to find the thread.

Basically just cut the back out of the housing and silicone in a 2"x6" oval led in place, It'll light up a lot better than if you were just to install an 1157 LED bulb

Very cool. I had no idea that there are name brand automotive led bulbs now. May have to buy those myself.

Nice links 77&79F250.........They've got some nice electrical stuff........ I like the Weatherpack connector assortments. I can see one of those on my wish list....along with the high end LED Dash light kit. Keeping the dimmer on my cluster is important to me.....that's why I haven't just stuck Fleabay LED's in my cluster yet. I made that mistake on a Kenworth one time.....damn things were so bright they blinded me at night and the dimmer function was gone........on or off......nothing in between.

I wonder ......
..... the lense of the oem tail light has facets molded in it to focus a light in the position of the bulb. A 2x6 oval is not gonna be near that point but the Phillips or Sylvania 1157 LED might.
