LED Tail Lights
Does anyone know where I can get a set of LED tail lights for my '03 F250 Crew Cab Short Bed.
I haven't seen any around but, think they would be super.
Thanks in advance for any references.

They've been available for quite awhile, but from what I've read on here, they're not worth it as some of the LEDs go out pretty quick. Do a forum search for LED Tailight and I think you'll find some reading.

Are you looking for that LED or aftermarket taillight look? If you want to keep the stock look but add the "instant" activation and long service life of LED, you can mod some truck-lite LED taillamps into your stock housings, which is what I've done on mine. You can see a pic of what it looks like when it's done here:

Total cost was about $40 and a little time to cut a spot in the reflector and fix the new light in place. Of course there's also the LED bulb replacements that can be used, too.

I hope Toyota Hauler reads this post:
I got your PM, and tried replying, but you're out of space in your PM folders. Delete a couple to free up some space so that you can receive more PMs.
In the mean time I'll post more details on the mod here:
The LEDs I used are Truck-Lite model 60 lights. I found them on Ebay for $35 shipped... I think if you search on ebay for truck-lite you'll find some or maybe find some sellers who can get them for you.
What you do is take the taillight housing off the truck (two screws, then pull) and then use a dremel tool to cut part of the reflector out. Then the new LED lights set in place at the back of the reflector, and you use some gel epoxy to hold them in place permanently. You'll need to wire them up to the truck as the plugs will not match.
Here are some pics that will show you what I'm talking about. I can't remember whose truck this is, but you'll get the idea of how to do this mod:

Anyway, I hope that helps!
