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!

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...

Thumbs up 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.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Talking 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.

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.
