Question LED tail Light

Hi,

I have a 61 F100 SWB style side box ( not a stepbox). Does any one know where I can have made or buy premade LED tail lights?

Regards
Lance

Welcome Lance to FTE. I take it you want to original lens in the shape of an LED panel? I know they sell LED bulbs you can swap out the existing filiment bulbs with. With a whole LED panel you will have to add an adapter to restrict the voltage enough to keep from kill the LEDs.

Hi,

Yeah, that is pretty much what I'm looking for the trim around the taillight has been "shaved" The lenses I have are fine. I'm not looking to do a whole lot of modding though.

Thanks !!!

The anozied trim pieces can be purchased from any one of the site sponsers. Dennis Carpenter is the main supplier I believe and all the others are authorised distributors.

Any Autozone, Kragen, Schukers, Checkers, O'Reilys, Pepboys (enjoy waiting) or local auto store should sell the LED bulbs. They should replace the standard 1057 or 1157 bulbs made by Sulvania. The voltage regulator is built into the base of the bulb and are made by APC, think tuner car parts.

As stated above replacing bulbs are easy and available. The 1157 bulb can be replaced with the multi light led it's brighter but due to the lens you don't get that LED look. I've tried these. I also purchased the LED spinning lights. When lights are on these lights rotate four times to the right then four times to the left. Looks pretty cool going down the street at night. Now for the downside to these bulbs, while the rotating bulb looks good, when you hit the brakes they act like warning flashers.
Dakota Digital has a plug in Led for 67-77 Ford bronco same number for 60-70 ford truck # LAT-NR370 Downside cost $149.95 and that does not include housing or lenses.
