brighter Bulbs?
Anyone using Led Bulbs in the tailight and turn signals etc.
As we all know these trucks are slow with old technology, but i would like to have brighter lights while still looking oem.

I plan on doing an upgrade of the instrument cluster bulbs with LEDs at some point and am considering the headlights and other exterior bulbs as well but haven't bitten off the cost yet because I still have a lot of body work to do.

I put these LED bulbs in my tail lights and they are brighter and light up quicker than the old filament bulbs...

$17.50 a piece, x 4 = 72 bucks total? (plus tax, shipping, handling, etc)
Sure could buy a LOT of old-school 1157s for that kinda dough. Jeeze Louise! Jus' Sayin'.
Hey You kids get off my lawn, too!

I only got a pair for the tail lights, for Christmas... after trying 3 different sets that either just didn't work or were not any brighter I was happy to get these and have them work properly.
For what it's worth, eventually I will most likely find another set of tail lights and modify them to accept readily available trailer LEDs like this person did:
