LED taillights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

724x4a/cchevy hasn't been on the board since 07/10, really wanted a set of his LED taillights. Any other good ones out there?

I've seen other vendors selling some that look like his but not sure of the quality. I'll see if I can find the link again...I saw a setup the other day but forgot to save the link so not sure which vendor

Did you have to change your flasher with the LEDs?

early classic enterprises has one that seems just like the one on a link above, customclassicdotcom...
here is the text on early classics' web page...
The LED panels are custom made to fill the inside of each specific tail light housing to maximize the effect when the lights are on. The 1967-’72 inserts feature a whopping 156 individual bulbs per panel! Compare that to the small LED replacement bulbs that have a mere 10 LED’s and you will see the difference immediately. Electronic Flasher(04-FLASH) recommended with all LED lights.
These look pretty kewl...

sorry to hijack but does anyone know who makes the led light that takes up the taillight and also the back up light all as 1 piece, i saw some on a few trucks maybe it's not a one off custom thing.

These are the best I have seen.

Very bright when you hit the brakes.

that'd be kinda hard to do as the backup light is separated by the sheetmetal between....you'd have to ditch the top back up light and have a one piece rectangular lens with a clear panel with white leds...

Most of the time you do....led's have such a low draw on the system that most stock flashers wont flash without load. You either need something like a load equalizer or a solid state flasher on most set ups.

I seem to recall MuscleRodz had 'em. He's on the site, too. http://www.musclerodzstore.com/lighting_16.aspx

I bought 2 sets from Classic parts and they work great. Just plug 'em in, no need for any special flashers.

I think I paid $65 per pair and have been using them for well over a year now with no troubles. (knock on wood)
