Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Interested to see your write up. The 6 month warranty seems a little low but they are pretty cool....

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Cool. I think I paid $140 or so for the retrofit LED kit on my 77 that didn't even have new lenses, so this seems reasonable. Note the price is less than the manufacturer's direct price or LMC's seemingly comparable new item. Looks good. Will it fit in a flat rate box with the 3 gauge pillar pod?

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
I think this will go well with the jeep headlights and I'm very interested. When do you think you'll have that write up posted? I have a few hot dollars sitting in my paypal that hasn't been used

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Working on the write-up, but they are super simple to install. The most involved in routing the new wiring from one side to another.

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Captkaos, did you ever get around to this write up? I'm on the fence about buying a pair because I just want a little more info on them.....

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Just bought them about a month ago! I love them!! they look really nice. The only thing is, you need to buy some resistors because you are switching your lights to LEDs. Otherwise, they will blink really fast. They are definitely worth it though!!!

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Switch out your blinker to an electronic one under the dash and problem is solved.

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Cool. I've been waiting for someone to speak on them before I made the jump. You have any info on the resistors needed?

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
I just got some 50W 60hm LED load resistors from amazon.com. They are pretty easy to install. you just connect the wires and mount the actual resistor on your truck somewhere. The lights are also east to install and you can switch the way they flash and stuff. Really cool!!

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
It comes with a new flasher. When you install it, the lights just light up but don't flash. This is why you need resistors. Solves the problem.

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
This is a video I just took at night. I have no idea why anyone needs resistors, everyone I have install works as designed and shown in the video.

Re: New LED tailights available - in catalog
Then someone has a wiring issue somewhere. The flasher it comes with is supposed to take away the need for the resistors.
