I replaced my clearance lights. I kind of wish i hadn't. I don't know what I was expecting, but they are about the same as stock. Waste of money on my part.

I have replaced them all with led. The latest ones I am using have what they call surface mount technology. What that means is that the led is much smaller and much brighter. I recently changed out my lic plate bulbs from the tower leds and these smt leds are 100% brighter and more trouble free. On my front corner lights the new ones are much brighter than the incandesant while the tower leds in the turn signals are bright as well. The reverse lights could be brighter but these things are getting better everyday.For the tail lights and 3rd brake lights as well as cargo lights came as an assembly but are very bright as well.

I got all my leds from www.autolumination.com Tail Light Brake Light Turn Signal LED Bulbs I have them in the turn signals, corners, tails and back up. The turns use two different colors. When they are on with lights they are clear but when i activate the turn signals they turn yellow.

i've been running LED's on all four corners for 2 years now with no problems; they are the cheap tower ones on eBay too..... i've been surprised by their longevity.

watch, they'll go out tomorrow, lol.

anyways, when i put them in i just swapped out the flasher with a $12 electronic replacement and all has been well.
