Led Lights Red
 
Has anyone seen the LED's that are red when lite so that you can use the clear tail light lens? I have seen all of the ones that have the clear lites, but none with red lights when lit. How about it anyone? I could probably use the same thing as now, but it would be a lot nicer if I could find the red LED's.

I installed a red insert over the bulb area in the housing to have a red tent. I don't now if the red LED's would be enough, what do you all think? Would they have enough red glow when lit to show past the clear lens. The local cop's probably want like them either since they want have the red tent to them except when stopping.

auto zone and advance auto seel red led bulbs they work great i had a pair or you can go to a truck stop and get light bulb covers they are only about 2.00 the bulbs are about 7.50 or if you are rich you can go to early classics and buy the led pad that they make for under your clear lights they run about 180.00

oh yeah, i had the autozone ones and they werent nearly bright enough and the bulb covers fade really quick...i think it'd be better to save and get the early classic ones (designed by reumster)...i have these now and they are really nice

Red LED's
 
I have seen those, but I want the LED's to be red when I step on the brakes are have my parking lights on, without the red lens. I don't want to use the red lenses.
Does anybody know if they make them? I want the LED's to light up red. Hope this makes since.

The ones in that link are red leds.
you can also get some for 100 bucks through Jegs...also red.
White and blue LEDs are the most expensive to make, so you can be sure that you'll never find them inside a red cover.

yeah, those are clear lenses on that link, theyre that bright

This is what they are talking about. These would work just fine under your clear lens-

I know they were working on sidemarkers and turn signals for our trucks, and if I could, I would get total LED's: frt turnsignals, 4 sidemarkers, tail lamps, and reverse lamps. But they will probably never make them for GMC :rolleyes:

Thanks
 
I saw the pictures in the link and just took as they used the factory red len's, sorry. I may just have to order some for Christmas now.

ive got clear tails(from truckers) and i have arp 1157 replacment leds. they are really bright, and cheap. like 15 bucks a set, and work really well. cops dont like em, but they are way better than the stock light. they work really well. if ya need pics, let my know.

Early Classic
 
Does anyone know if the Early Classic LED's come with lense covers or do we just use the stock red ones (white for back up)?

twobrats71 12-17-2003 02:53 PM

Nevermind, y'all...I just answered my own question...DUH! At least I'm getting my posts up, huh? lol
