A couple of weeks a guy posted here that LEDs had messed up the shifting of his E4OD trans. Was OK again when he refitted stock.

Most of the ones on Ebay that you see for our years are LED "style" taillights. They actually use regular bulbs, but look like LEDs.

Those are Euro or Altezza tail lights. Yeah NPD and LMC and JCW have lights like them. Sometimes you can find used ones on ebay.
I have heard of people having trouble getting their turn signals to work properly with LED bulbs, but not the transmission not liking them.
To make the LEDs work with the blinkers all you would need is an electronic flasher.
My friends truck had this problem.
I think what he is talking about is instead of LED bulbs, he wants full LED tail lights like the Cadillacs have.

Yes he is right. Ebay has the "LED" Lights that still take the regular bulbs. Ive never seen a true LED tail light for our trucks. But you could just use the LED bulbs that go in place of the stockers and like TexasGuy was saying switch to an electronic flasher.

If anyone does find the full LED taillights (the ones that look stock but have LED bulbs) please post because these have been on my list since I got the truck. The Euro / Altezza look isn't what I want for my trck.

I'm suprised no one has made them yet for our trucks. We have a pretty popular body style, but some parts get really hard to find. Expecially aftermarket stuff. Unlike Chevy, that you can get anything for about any year easily. I've been looking for these lights for a long time and hoped you guys knew something I didn't. Looks like a common problem. Thanks for the help guys

You can get LED bulbs that actually fit in the stock 1157 receptacle.....I have one on my snowmobile that I havent decided on if I want to put them on my truck or not.....
check them out here
DennisKirk.com - Bluhm Enterprises 1157 Dual Function LED Turn Signal Bulb
They're expensive, but if thats what you want, there it is.....the bulb on that page is an amber one, but they have red too

I did full LED's in my 59 VW Bus a while back.
You need an LED specific Flasher. Regular auto parts store electronic doesn't work quite right.
Best source I found on the 1157 type bulbs is www.autolumination.com Tail Light Brake Light Turn Signal LED Bulbs
Also, if you have any questions just email them. They respond very promptly.
