Anyone using plug and play aftermarket LED taillights?
My taillight lens are so faded and the backup lamps are virtually useless. I am looking for a simple swap, if there is such a thing. Anyone have any good leads?

In addition to brighter LED bulbs, have you tried to restore the housing?
Some DEET will offer a temporary finish or you can get a kit from the parts stores or most online large retailers.
I am a big fan of Meguiars Ultimate Compound and a buffer as it will do wonders for faded surfaces. I recently used some to polish and smooth a wood bar top with 5 coats of hardwood floor polyurethane. I also use the polish on plastics, paint and gel coat over fiberglass. I follow up with a UV protectant wax after the polish.
Might be worth a few minutes of your time and a few dollars.
