LED Tail Lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

formula_raider · 05-11-2006, 10:41 AM

Anybody have a set of the LED tail lights? Are you happy with the looks and results? Do you have to use the clear lens or will the stock Red one work? Where is the best/cheapest place to get them; Early Classic, etc. Thanks for any comments.

fleetside or stepside?

70c10 · 05-11-2006, 11:12 AM

I have a set based on the newer Cadillacs that were custom made by a former board member for my fleetside. With 640 individual bulbs they look great behind red or clear lenses!

I'm about to add 60 more with a Line of Fire light strip. I guess 700 bulbs should be enough,lol.

formula_raider · 05-11-2006, 11:20 AM

Im sorry, the fleetside. The ones I see Early Classic offering and a few others is 160 LED's per side. Anybody have these?

70c10 · 05-11-2006, 11:36 AM

I think board member/vendor pickmup sells those.

Custom 68 · 05-11-2006, 12:03 PM

unless they have fixed them he has quit selling them because there are too many problems with them, he was after them to get them fixed but not sure if that happened or not.

I've got them on my CST. Love em. Bought them from ECE.

Longhorn Man · 05-11-2006, 03:08 PM

you can get another brand from jegs.... 60 bucks I think.
That's cheap enough that my home made conversion was a waste of time.

1LoC10 · 05-11-2006, 03:11 PM

yeah the ones from Jegs is these guys

I dont see them on there site though

formula_raider · 05-11-2006, 03:23 PM

Just found them: Jegs part # 889-6019. Its weird but when you go to the Technostaligia web site they do not show as having them but Jegs shows the application with the part number. They seem to have a different design with fewer LED's but a wider light pattern. Wonder if anybody has tried these? Darn, I just ordered from JEGS yesterday!!

1LoC10 · 05-11-2006, 04:04 PM

Custom 68 · 05-11-2006, 05:17 PM

I talked with a tech guy from Early Classic and there LED lights are red so if you had the clear lens you would still have red brake lights. Also thier is a board with 160 bulbs. Plus if I remember right he told me they are coming out with the front turn singals also.

Blue85 · 05-11-2006, 05:22 PM

anyone have pics of the 67-72 lights? I was just gonna get those 1157 leds with like 8 leds in them.

NO LONGER DISTURBED KONCEPTZ · 05-11-2006, 05:42 PM

Here ya go.

pebbleboy · 05-11-2006, 05:51 PM

Those are the ones I have.

There bright enough so I didn't get harassed by cops even with my clear tail lights.

1LoC10 · 05-11-2006, 06:51 PM

Save your reciept, you'll probably feel violated when you see how bad they suck.

Werewolf · 05-11-2006, 08:02 PM

Actually I've got some 1157 LED's in my Caprice wagon. These specific ones act just like regular bulbs (have some LEDs pointing back to light up the reflectors) when you're standing near them. From a great distance, it actually looks like I have circular taillights. I love them. What it comes down to is what type of 1157 you buy. I may be able to snap some pics for you if you're interested.

Take a look at www.surplusled.com for stock replacement LED's. They've got tons of different types there. I've converted most of the bulbs on my Caprice to LED's through them. They're cheap, but shipping is kind of pricey. Gets to you in about 3 days, though.
