Pic request: LED tail light, back/plug side
I'm going with a Blazer tank and have decided I want my fuel filler behind the tail light. I like the side marker light filler door too, but with the big vapor traps on the gas pumps these days, I think the tail light will work out better. I will hinge at the bottom and am thinking about going with LED's to clear up as much room behind the lens as possible. I was wondering is anyone has gone with the LED conversions that are on the back cover of the current (2010 Fall Edition, CB.61) LMC catalog, part #37-0341. These are also sold by Brothers, part #LED72F0. These are the ones that retail at both places for about $50 each. It looks like these just plug in like a bulb, but I am more curious about the shape and depth of the actual assembly. If anyone has these and can snap a side and rear view of them, it would be greatly appreciated!
While I am on the subject, if anyone has also used the LED taillight conversion kit that uses the stock lens (LMC part#37-0342), a picture of the same thing as above would be great. Thanks in advance!

Re: Pic request: LED tail light, back/plug side
Does that mean that they don't save any room behind the housing (using the stock one), or are they actually shallower? Any pictures? Many thanks...

Re: Pic request: LED tail light, back/plug side
These LED'S are the ones I bought from ECP. They are made by a board member. They have the 1157 pigtail that just plugs into the socket. Been in the truck for 5 or 6 years now.
This was with the clear lens, I have since gone back to the red lens. Safety first. Night time shot with all three lit up.

Re: Pic request: LED tail light, back/plug side
My LED'S fit between the housing and lens with no mods what so ever. Sorry didn't know you wanted internal shots. I'll see what I can do. Sorry they are side ways.

Re: Pic request: LED tail light, back/plug side
Thanks for those shots. It looks like that these lights won't create any more room for a fuel filler since they retain the stock housings, although I guess I could cut those if necessary.
