Where do I get these taillights?

Sorry to hijack but does anyone make LED conversions for our tailights and Markers?????
 
A lot of places sell aftermarket direct replacement LED bulbs. You need to buy a load resister so the flasher works the same, otherwise it will flash as if a bulb was out (really fast).

Do a google search for LED tail lamps. You'll get hundreds of results.

UUUMMMM,,,,OK???:confused: never heard of this,,, i tried using those direct replacement L.E.D. bulbs, simply screw into the socket like the original, but i didn't like them, because they have no reflective properties in the housing, meaning, the light emitted, does not reflect off the rear "reflective" part of the housing, all you see is the L.E.D. light "spot" from the rear...not very bright.

Didn't have a problem with the flashers though.:crazy:

Never heard of Google? Google is a search engine for people to find information. Who helped you turn your computer on? j/k:haha::haha:

Depending on the manufacturer, LED optics, power output all determine the lighting efficiency and brilliance of the LED. There is not a need for "reflective properties in the housing" if the LED cluster is built properly.

The reflective properties were built into the housings to direct the light off the bulb since it is a non directional bulb. Most cheap automotive LED's have a very narrow beam expansion. (more of a spot light type of appearance)

No denying there is some real cheap stuff, not all LED's suck. Again, search and you will find a lot of garbage and some good ($$$) LED's mixed in.

What I think 4x was trying to say by his own experience, you get what you pay for.

And yes, for the typical non led flasher and LED use, a load resister will have to be used.
 
OK, whatever, but actually i think the electronic flasher has more to do with my lack of flasher problem, then not using Google to search for information.

Thanks for the info on using Google, though, never would have though to use that for anything. :rolleyes:
