Tail lights

Does anyone have the LED tail light set up on their truck?
I’m looking to replace my lights and want to put the shield style light set on. Just like some input compared to inconsistent. Value, brightness, how well they hold up ect.

Thanks for your thoughts

Joe

Yes. But they are the whole taillight assembly, not just the lenses.

I have LED bonus built style tail lights. They are MUCH brighter than the original glass lens lights. Definitely worth the investment.

Thanks for the response, do you have a picture of them? I look up bonus built and couldn’t find anything. Are they bulb replacements or are they made in the lens?

They are built into the lens. When I say bonus built I mean the 48-52 round style taillights. I got these from midwest early ford, but I think they are the same as most of the other repop places sell. This is the best picture of them I could find.
