So i bought new headlights for the 00 sierra and was looking into makin the stock tailights a little cooler, so i put led bulbs in em, but that didnt do much, so i bought some super bright red and amber leds and put em in there instead. Heres the pics of my progress, finished one side tonight, will finish the other tomorrow and wire em up on the truck....sry about the couple of cell phone pics...

Looks cool, I think I would have done white LED's instead of red, so they shine brighter...but came out great

Those look pretty sweet. The nice thing about mine is that the turn is a different array, but the brake/tail i had to wire up a low and high side, did u have to do that too or did u just do the center for parking lights and then all for brakes?

kinda sucks, but everything worked b4 i put em in, but for some reason the turn signal leds wont light up. Any ideas? In an older truck, i would made sure i switched to an electronic flasher, but on the 00, i kno its good. I designed it for 14 volts as that is what the trucks normal voltage is, however, for that short time that the flasher is active, i suppose it doesnt actually hit 14 volts. Now for some caps or something....What did u do on urs to make sure the pulse worked?
