Re: Led Rear Light Question?
I used the stock type for just the rear.
I just put front in and had to swap them to the LED with grounds to get them to work.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: Led Rear Light Question?
If you use LED's for turn signals, you MIGHT find that they blink fast. I just got an electronic flasher for mine and that was all I had to do on my '69.
On my '96, I had to wire a 6-ohm, 50-watt resistor in parallel with the filament. It makes them flash correctly, but when an incandescent bulb is used in place of the LED, the flasher works correctly and you won't know if the bulb is working or not...based on the way it flashes inside.
