Nice ! I'd like to see them lit up

Andy4639 · 05-19-2012, 03:00 AM

I'll get pictures of them just as soon as I can. They will go well with the brake lights and side markers.

Andy4639 · 05-20-2012, 04:30 PM

Has no one installed these? I'm surprised not one has ever done this yet. I guess I'll be the first.

BrianV · 05-20-2012, 06:16 PM

I've got them on mine and they work great just plug in and go

Andy4639 · 05-21-2012, 06:37 PM

Here they are mounted and flasher's on. Was leaving for work so I'll do a parking light and flasher tomorrow.

Just the emergency flashers on.

fastwillie 696969 · 05-21-2012, 08:47 PM

you can get the conversion
too .i wish i can find the picture where truck had led lights spelled chevolet on tailgate

Andy4639 · 05-22-2012, 07:25 AM

Well I ran into a problem. The turn signal will not work if the park lights are on.The turn signal lights lite up in the truck when I pull the head lights switch on to park position are head lights. If I just use the turn signal they are fine.
They work fine with the old bulbs.

Andy4639 · 05-24-2012, 08:06 PM

Called Monday and talked to Ken @ Rodworx Street Rod Products
and he sent me the 2 heavy duty flasher's free with ground wires. I got them today before I left for work. I hope to get them installed tomorrow.

That should fix the issue. A total LED system requires a quicker flasher module to operate the LEDS. I learned this on my Wrangler when I changed all of mine out. With one incadesent still on the system it works, as soon as you put total LED, No good for just turns.

I bet anything that takes care of it.

Andy4639 · 05-25-2012, 06:45 PM

Well I have signal's and running lights now with the 2 flashers installed but I still have the turn signal lights in the dash coming on (DIM) with the head light switch in the park or head light position. They do function though just not the exact way I wanted them to.

I think it's a ground issue I will have to find.

With the lights on the front signal's are dim along with the front side markers.
and the dash turn signals are dim.

With the lights off everything works great.

With the old bulbs everything works normally no matter what.

Andy4639 · 06-10-2012, 03:53 AM

Any suggestion on what to look for on this?
Is it a ground issue you think are is it something to do with the LED'S?

The lights work fine if I put the regular bulbs back in the front.

I have LED's front and back.
I still have regular bulbs in the side marker ones.

Riveted1 · 06-10-2012, 11:25 AM

Been trying to wrap my head around this. How are those front LED lights set up? Can you get a good close pic of the circuit board?

Andy4639 · 06-10-2012, 02:59 PM

They plug in just like the old bulbs. They have 3 wires running to back of lights. Turn signal, parking and ground. Just like the brake lights out back.
They are marked.
I can get some pictures tomorrow of them.

Riveted1 · 06-10-2012, 04:53 PM

No resistors?

Andy4639 · 06-10-2012, 06:39 PM

Not in the wires any way. May have them built into the light housing maybe but nothing you can see.

Andy4639 · 10-27-2014, 06:58 PM

The lights in the dash coming on was I forgot to hook the small ground wire back up are either it came undone. All lights work like they should now.

Ol red 71 · 01-04-2016, 12:14 AM

I have got the exact same problem with my 71 3/4 manual. Led tails, led parks and stock side markers. So you installed 2 flashers with ground wires and that solved the issue? What specific flashers did you use?
