[Labonte18]

I have bought a couple types off of ebay but just arent as bright as i think they should be. can anyone recommend a seller of good bright high quality led for the auto use?thanks robert

Are you wanting them for headlights? I don't know that any are bright enough for that yet. I have used SUPER BRIGHT LEDS - LED Lights & Accessories for a fair amount of lighting on several vehicles (tail lights, turn signals, etc. . ) and have been overall satisfied with them.

I've got a couple of led flashlights and they last a long time but they don't shine very far or as bright . I think the head lamps are the same way. hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

Im not looking for headlights just the other exterior(license plate,tail lights ect... . ) i like to look of the leds. thanks for the help any more would be great!!thanks robert

mishkaya got his where i get mine. you can replace every light on the truck with led except the head light and fog light. they will be brighter than stock you do not say what year truck you have. you need to fill out your sig. the tail light socket board has to be modified on the cr because of how they routed the ground wire to the socket's.

A couple of places you might check are: LEDTrailerlights.com - LED lights for RVs, cargo / utility trailers, boat and watercraft trailers and trucks LEDLight.com: Online Shopping for LED Lighting Products SUPER BRIGHT LEDS - LED Lights & Accessories

Every light on my truck is L. E. D. Tail lights are a complete housing, cab clearance from Recon and clearance lights on fenders and tailgate were a direct replacement. My corner lamps up front I just slipped a L. E. D bulb in the factory housing.

try www.autolumination.com. they had what i needed for my dash lights and they have leds for all automotive needs.

Need to remember LED's are more "directional" then a standard incandesent bulb. In other words, if you just want to replace the bulb only, and use the old housing, unless you are in a direct line of sight, they may actually be harder to see.

I had these on my old 01

1994-2001 DODGE RAM 1500 2500 3500 LED LOOK TAIL LIGHTS on eBay!

LEDTrailerlights.com - LED lights for RVs, cargo / utility trailers, boat and watercraft trailers and trucks is where I got marker lights even for my RV Trailer.

Im sorry about the sig. Its a 2500 quad cab 4wd. Im looking for a nice bright wide ray of light like the ones on say the rear for license plates of the new lexus's!

Superbright LED is the best site I have found!!

 

[SHobbs]

For my front corner lights I used this, T25 Wedge 36 LED Light - Automotive LED Lights - LEDLight



License plate lights are, 4 L. E. D. T10 Wedge LED Light - Automotive LED Lights - LEDLight



My side fender and tailgate lights are, 4x1 Amber 12 LED With Clear Lens Clearance/Marker - led truck lights, led trailer lights, led clearance lights, led marker lights.



For those with a 2nd gen the clearance lights are a direct replacement for the OEM lights.

check out www.autolumination.com Tail Light Brake Light Turn Signal LED Bulbs for alot of choices. Remember if replacing turn signal lamps you will likely need to swap resistive flasher controls for electronic (timer/logic) units but these are available at the above and through most auto parts stores. (Resistive units use the filament load of the lamps to time the flashes - they will not properly 'see' the LEDs as load and will disrupt the normal flash rate).

 

[SHobbs]

There must have been a change at some time I have not had a single issue with the hyper flash. My turn signals work like they always have.

 

[DieselDoghouse]

SHobbs - you probably already have logic–controlled flashers. Since the flash pulse is internally generated they are immune to the type of load attached to them - will not affect the flash rate.

I have the Recon cab and marker LED's they look black in the daylight. Have the LED strips down both sides of the running boards and at the bottom of the tail gate. The sides blink with the blinker and light up when you hit the brakes.

If I replace my cab markers with LEDs will it take care of the leaking water issue?
