LED Taillights
LED Taillights
I just purchased a set of LED taillights because I cracked one of mine, link: http://www.stylinconcepts.com/part.a.../categoryid/26
I love the look, and they fit perfect. One problem, the bottom lamp plugs in perfect, the top lamp is discarded (because of the led lights) and the male end on the new taillight does not plug into the female on the truck. Any advise? i have called the manufacturer but they can't get back to me until tomorrow. I do not mind hardwiring, just do not want to hook up the wrong wires. Any experience or help would be appreciated. I will post pics as soon as I get this resolved.

I am an IDIOT! I do not know what I was thinking, but got the problem solved. All I had to do was take out the light bulb and plug the LED lead into that void. DUUUUUUUU. Anyway, they look absolutely awesome. I will post some pics soon.

Pics are in my gallery! Sorry for the wait. Also, they are not the best pics, it is dark out and I set my camera to the high sensitivity mode so the flash would not reflect off of the lights. Go to my gallery and select the Integrated nav gallery. They are the last four pics in the gallery. There is one pic in this group of pics with the original tail lights so you can get an idea of the before and after. Let me know what you think.......thanks.

I think these are the best LED lights available. I personally don't think that all the jazzed up LED's fit our trucks. These are pretty close to OEM other than the LED's and they are black.
i found these and i thought they were pretty interesting, http://www.spiderlite.com/ the replace your stock bulbs and expand when then go into the tail-light there cheeper then replacing the whole tail light, but i think when i have a enough money ill still buy the ones that DATSTUD bought becuase those are sweet!

Personally not my style, but to each his own. I just really don't like the red reflector around the reverse light, makes for too many colors as the black, clear, and red. I don't mind my red taillights. I like the ones that look factory but are Led and also sold by stlylinconcepts, but not sure with Apc's fit and finish. Do they have built in resitors to correct turn signal function, or do they flash like a bulb's out? And to fordtruckman on the spiderlites..........It's a really neat idea, i'll give them that, but for 44+ each I still need a resistor to make the turn signals flash normal?? Come on that resistance should be built in if it's a quality product. And an LED with a 1 year warranty?? What the hell is that about?? Maybe I just expect too much.
