I've thought about putting L.E.D. tail lamps in but wondered about the fronts...on GMCs,so thought I'd finally ask. I put L.E.D.s in for tail lamps in a ('95) utility body truck way back when they first came out. I mean like before you saw any trucks running them. And,then car manufacturers started using them. With only rear L.E.D.s it made my lights flash really fast,like when a bulb is burnt out because they draw so little. I ended up making my front park/turn signal lamps L.E.D. on that truck and used a load equalizer. Not sure I want to go through all that again. Has anyone had any issues like that using just rear L.E.D.s?
