You can try a search. I've never liked the bulb replacements, too dim. There is an eBayer selling full replacement units. I think Santa is bringing me a set, so if you can wait until after X-mas time, I'll let you know how they are. On several other forums I haven't read anything negative about them.

One reason for that is that LED's are also very directional. They don't illuminate in a big pattern like normal incandesecent bulbs.

Well from the sounds of your post you didn't know what you were talking about (which is not unusual) and I just wanted to make sure that you got the correct knowledge.

I'm gonna have to kick your behind for that.

I hate clear tail lights or any of the euro stuff for that matter but these don't stand out all that much-

Not sure about quality or if they are DOT approved...

Not a bad price for the set. I wonder if they have a built in resistor for the turn signals? Or if they are bright enough?

I have red LED bulbs on my rig with stock tails and they are brighter, it flickers double speed but thats the only problem. I'm waiting for those rear LED tails to drop in price & i'll pick up a pair of red lense type.

From what i hear....you can get an adjustable resistance Flasher from NAPA for like $15. This cures any fash flashing issues.

mysterync,
Rather than hyjack the thread with a FASS disscussion, i got a few threads out now covering what you are seeing and give some things to check. Go into my profile and click on "Find all posts by DD" and that should get you in the right direction....if you have a question...post on one of thoes threads. Glad its working though!
