Same tail lights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know if the tail lights below are the same product?

Brothers Trucks: https://www.brotherstrucks.com/1973-...tinfo/LED87FD/

USA1 industries: http://www.usa1industries.com/1973-8...embly-kit.html

They look the same but it is hard to tell.
Thanks!

Did you see that USA1 Industries, has more pics? There’s a close up of the tail light itself. I would say yes, it’s the same. A lot of these places get their parts from the same suppliers/manufacturers. I can’t see too many different places making the same LED light for our trucks.

I saw that but you just never know. The Brothers website has a good video for the install, looks simple. USA1 is closer so I would order from them if it is the same product.

unless you WANT the led look threw the lens then save some cash and get these . i did a lot of testing my self time and money and am super happy with the end results .

NOT promoting amazon at all . . . just easy to link to is all .

then backup i did these for the biggest lumen output after trying the ZEVO and even ebay 50-60-70 count chip units that sucked worse than the ZEVO for backup .

best backup in my opinion . https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...fit/2622/5694/

no melted housings / lenses / or problems . and testing from others and my self . . the bulb color NEEDS to match the lens color for best bright full color out of the lens . or it twists the color around and makes pink if white threw red when doing BRIGHT led conversions .
