anyone know where i can get L.E.D. bulbs for my taillights? i m in the process of molding them in, i dont want to go with a L.E.D. conversion kit like lmc has, cause i will never b able to change it, but i can change the bulb, thanx in advanced!
also, does anyone know where to find a MOLD in strip about the length of the side marker? i am also going to flush mount this but cant find a strip small enough, thanx again!

Do a search for 1157 LED for the brake lights and 1156 LED for the reverse lights.

I have used the direct replacement bulbs on other vehicles and they worked better than the stock bulbs.

Look for the ones with LED's on the sides of the assembly as well as the front. The more LED's the brighter it will be typically.

I was told to use the same color LED as the lens you are putting it behind for the best light so that is what I did.

Check out www.v-leds.com as well. I've been getting all my lights from them since I discovered them. I especially like the strip lights they have, variety of colors, lengths and brightness.
