I NEED TAIL LIGHT HELP
Hey there. Just got new head lights and now I am moving on to wanting some tail lights as well. I like the LED ones for sure but they are all pretty expensive. I will eventually be blacking out my toolbox and wheels, but I want the tail lights to look good with my headlight style as well. Here is my truck now.....

Here is a list of possible tail lights so far:

97-03 FORD F150 F250 F350 BLK ALTEZZA TAIL LIGHT 98 99: eBay Motors (item 200509909672 end time Sep-17-10 16:13:44 PDT)
97-99 00-02 03 FORD F150/F250 LD LED TAIL LIGHTS LAMPS: eBay Motors (item 200513397948 end time Sep-27-10 12:16:18 PDT)

Also. I heard that some people got the led lights and housings to put in their stock back up lights. Where would I get the supplies to do this? Pricing?
If you can, please post pics of all your tail lights everyone. I want to make a decision.
Thanks

My truck used to be white and I had these lights...
I still have them, they're in perfect condition. If you like'em I'll give'em to ya for 50 bucks! My truck is red now so I have carbon fiber ones. Saaa-weet. lol

That's something new to me. I haven't heard that. I've had LED's on my truck since 06 and haven't had a problem with the trans. A few others, but nothing along those lines. lol I can't even see how that would be related or cause a problem. Id be interested to read about it if you find a posting or something about it.

I guess maybe it was referring to the high mount brake light, sorry but here you go https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...sion-info.html

I personally prefer the Recon lights. They're a little more pricey, but I've been running the same reverse and front turn signal LEDs from recon for over 3 years(and two trucks) with zero problems. The white reverse lights look super sharp. The red LEDs in the brake light are kinda pointless. They are sharper and clearer, but there's not a whole lot of difference. I had the full LED taillights like Mickeys got on my '05, and they looked sharp as tacks as well. They're really expensive new, but he's got a heckofa deal for ya. If you don't take it, I just might. I REALLY like the way they look.
That's my .02

I love my Recon LEDs. Great fit and look great IMO. Jump on Mikey's deal.
Spool: Where did you get those new headlights and turn signals? They look great. I'm ready for an upgrade. After 233K miles my stock headlights have seen better days.
Side note: I was about to buy a LED 3rd brake light from Recon to match my tails. Reading up on this now it might not be a good idea with the TC lockup problems. Anyone have any insight on this? This is all new to me.

I completely understand, and I wasnt saying that there would be an issue I just had remembered some form of discussion on the subject and figured I should back up my suspicions. I do believe too that the assemblies will have the resistors and such in order to balance and equalize the load.

Thanks to "mikeyc0120" (Michael). I am going to be getting these in the mail soon !
Small chip in the corner there, but for $50 bucks I cant complain. They are usually more than that.
